After comparing all the files between the "IPF" set and the "[cr-GOD]" set (disks 2 -> 9), as there was no difference at all, I have renamed the ADF files and added the one kindly provided by StingRay (disk 1). It's in the zone .

My crack is just a 1-byte modification on disk 1.

I will not touch the lame GOD crack at all (why should I?) and probably won't add any intro either as this was just a quick hack to help malko. Game works and can be played, that's all I was interested in.

For information purpose only
My "mini-Gozilla" were complaining about an action they cannot perform with the new crack (see bug 4 below) So I checked and I saw more bugs with the "GOD" release : bug 2a- Simon will jump in front of the dwarf's cave ; bug 2b- Before Simon jumps, texts are not displayed in the same chronology as in the original game ; bug 2c- After jumping Simon will disappear when we want to move him ; bug 3- As soon as we want to move to another screen, Simon says he is wearing the beard (even if not wearing it) ; bug 4- Simon can go through the closed grid of the castle and enter the torture room. For sure there are other issues, but since we are not playing this set any more ... In view of the above, maybe dlfrsilver's idea about a cracktro is a good idea |

malko, why are you still using the GOD release? Surely you should use StingRay's disk 1 and the IPFs for the other disks.
...or even install using the above set. |

Many years passed after Mok cracked ECS version correctly, then I can recall something wrong. But I suspect that StingRay crack will be dont works from HD. Why? Because HD installer copy files from 1st to 9th disk. And cracked file from first disk is overwritten by same file (uncracked) from other disk. Of course maybe it was different adventure game with this smart protection, but on 90% it was Simon The Sorcerer game. If Im right then cracked file must be copied on other disk too.

Yes, the data file is present on disk 2 as well. This has more to do with with minimizing disk changes than smart protection for me though.

Good for me that, with DOS disks, I always copy the files manually and begin with the last disk of the set (9 -> 1) |

No, this is smart HD protection, if i remember right this file is not called/unused when you played from disks. Maybe Malko can delete this file from second disk and play from disks to confirm?

Yes, it will be works, but clean version (for me) is replaced uncracked file with cracked version. If someone will be used original HD installer. In my Amiga collection, I have cracked file on both disks. I remember that someone fixed this problem modyfiyng original HD install too, data from first disk was copied at the end. At begining data from disk 2 to disk 9 was copied.

The day before yesterday my min-Godzilla managed to finish Simon the Sorcerer .
I only helped them twice for the whole game. Whaou ! Your crack is StingRay ! They issued some bugs while playing but I am quite sure it is not related to the crack. To keep a record, here are the two issue they faced (not reproducible every time) : - From the village, use the map to go to the dwarfs' cave. Enter the cave -> crash. - From the dwarfs' cave walk to the woodcutter's house. When entering the woodcutter "screen" -> black screen, music still playing, if you click with the mouse several time -> crash. |
