Btw : Does that mean there will be a [!] flag in the next dat?

You have confirmed it works until the end, and yes it will have the [!] flag in the next release (soon).

By th way, its now worth to report, if a version of a game works 100%.

Notes:
Various versions of "disk 3" are faulty. The above are the verified working set that Gamebase Amiga uses. See these threads for more details:

Thanks, then this disks get [!] flag.

Nope not personally, I use the IPFs

Just going off the information in the theads linked to in my post above. I'm sure some people on EAB must have completed it using this set though.

Works 100% and is fixed for AGA (tested with WinUAE)

P.S. : Sorry for the shamelessly stealing your layout Damien

You are wrong, this version is based on poor (beta ?) disk crack and outro data is missing. Outro works only for WHDload version, I checked it exactly, when I try to rip outro pic for WT page. Similar outro don't works for Wings Of Death or/and Lethal Xcess (not/bad patched disk routines).

[TCD]

Ah, just checked if you can complete it and that worked. Also didn't hang after the last level, so I assumed that there was no outro. Thanks for the info Don Adan.

You can't detect on emulator if game is try to load extra data, on real Amiga disk drive is still working after last level, you must see pic available on the WT page as extra GFX.

About wings of death ? certainly not ! I gave WOD to Musashi9 @ flashtro to get it cracked, and the game exists as ADF 100% with outro with save hiscore routine adapted !

I was able to rip the outro using this version a couple of years back. The Subway/Spreadpoint trained version didn't work for me. The CRC matched with my ADF. I do think that GIN used another group's crack.

[Galahad/FLT]

I'm pretty sure the Subway/Spreadpoint version is 100%, so long as no-one has saved hiscores to the disk.

[TCD]

TBH I'm fairly confused now Guess I'll have to complete the WHDLoad version and then compare it to the different cracked versions. Might take a bit.

Here's what my investigation revealed a while back...

If someone has a Subway/SSP version that shows the ending, please let me know.

Ok no worries, I can recrack it from the IPF if needed, the protection is simple and i've accessed the end game sequence on the IPF so I know it works.

[demoniac]

Thanks for the offer. I wanted the Subway/SSP for preservation purposes, but I have a workaround using the IPF and GIN versions.

This is poor version, if I remember right cheat codes and normal codes don't works for this version, but works for both (original and budget)WHDload versions, and perhaps works at different memory offsets, then must be beta or different original.

I thinked about Skid Row crack, if someone fixed/cracked it later, then perhaps it can works OK.

[Specksynder]

Thanks for this very useful thread
I want to transfer tons of .adf files to floppy disks.
But i want to be sure that those games are 100% working.
Any idea?Is there a 'list' of .adf games that work/not work somewhere?
From what i remember 'First Samurai' and 'Panza Kick Boxing' (.adf files) don't work (Tried with WinUAE)
Any help really much appreciated

[TCD]

This thread is (for now) the best source to find 100% working versions.
Both First Samurai and Panza Kick Boxing work with WinUAE. If you mean till the end, then I could test it.

[Specksynder]

Ok thank you.
Could you please tell me which 'First Samurai/Panza K.B.' cracked version have you tried?
