Does anyone have Chessmate 1.2 or Grossmeister by Dark Horse Software? Thanks

flunky · 28 July 2007, 23:41

Has anyone the manual for Grossmeister ?I´ve bought the original Disk without manual but its needed for starting.

Galaxy · 28 July 2007, 23:55

I'm looking for both of these too.

@flunky are you able to make an adf of Grossmeister and upload it to the Zone? I'm sure one of the eab members would easily be able to disable the protection check.

flunky · 29 July 2007, 09:58

The ADF is in the zone now.
Removing the protection would be nice.

Galaxy · 29 July 2007, 11:46

Cool, hopefully someone with some cracking skills will remove the protection!

Codetapper · 29 July 2007, 13:35

This is a nasty one! The main game is overlayed so you don't have easy access to all the code unless it's running, and it looks like it's compiled with some kind of BASIC interpreter/shell running on top of it.

I had a quick look but this kind of protection is a real pain in the butt, maybe Galahad or Girv would like to accept the challenge?

It might be easier to extract the words from the RAM. I've uploaded some screens:

Do you need a disk scan,too ?

CodyJarrett · 29 July 2007, 15:11

Yes please!

flunky · 29 July 2007, 15:28

Scan is in the Zone,too.

@CodyJarrett

How did you started the game ?

It works.
Thank you very much.

CodyJarrett · 29 July 2007, 16:05

Thanks for the ADF and disk scan!

WHOA! Flunky you didn't know this has been a MIA for 3 years did you?

Thanks for the upload!

flunky · 31 July 2007, 15:23

What does it mean MIA ?

flunky · 31 July 2007, 15:52

Thanks for the info.
I found the game disk on Ebay.

Chessmate V1.2 is in the Zone. You'll need a WB 1.1/1.2 Extras disk with AmigaBASIC on it in order to launch the game. Enjoy!

Belgarath · 31 July 2007, 20:21

Is this Chessmate disk damaged?

The reason I ask is every time I make an illegal move the game crashes, I don't think it's to do with the winuae settings.
