This post has a Zool 2 sheet to use. I will get started on Hare Raising Havoc sometime today.

I had the same issue after installing "Hare Raising Havoc" to hard drive; unfortunately the Skid Row crack doesn't work

Well this is my order of preference.
- Original disk
- SPS disk ( which I have )
- Captain dlfrsilver extended ADF
- crack

Very nice guru clenched

I've seen you do this sort of thing for at least a few people now, so big thumbs up to you!

Just curious as to how exactly you're going about the job of uncovering copy protection codes for different games. Are you using something like HRTMon or AR to hunt down the codes? Is there a one-size-fits-all approach, or is it horses for courses for each game?

Sometimes they are in plain view and only need to be copied. Most frequently I use WinUAE debugger to monitor $dff006. This is used to get a random number. (page, word, line, graphic or whatever). This will usually get you in the vicinity when debugger breaks.

In Virocop case the answers are scrambled a little so a small program is employed to unscramble them.

 
        lea     cod,a2  
        lea     xlat,a0
        lea     xlat1,a1
        lea     dest,a3
loop    move.b  (a2)+,d0
        beq     nline
        cmp.b   #$ff,d0
        beq     q1x
.2      move.w  #36,d1
.3      cmp.b   (a0,d1.w),d0
        dbeq    d1,.3
        move.b  (a1,d1.w),d0
        move.b  d0,(a3)+
.1      bra     loop
nline   move.b  #$0a,(a3)+
        bra     loop
q1x     lea     dest,a3
        tst     $100
        rts
xlat    dc.w    $2E2F, $2C2D, $2A2B, $2829, $2627
        dc.w    $5F5C, $5D5A, $5B58, $5956, $5754, $5552, $5350, $514E
        dc.b    $4F
        dc.b    $4C,$4D, $4A,$4B, $48,$49, $46,$47, $44,$3E
xlat1   dc.b    "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ "
cod     incbin  "\virotable"
dest    ds.w    4000
        end
 
virotable snippet of first two answers:
3E 2D 3E 2F-2F 2D 53 5B-59 5F 5C 47-4A 5B 00 3E  >->//-S[Y_\GJ[ >
2D 3E 2C 3E-2D 4C 5B 5F-4D 51 50 5F-5C 52 47 00  ->,>-L[_MQP_\RG

In Havoc case the $dff006 register is read twice. Once to pick a picture and once to pick a pocket. The graphic is multiplied by 7 and the offset to pocket column is added. The correct answer is looked up in a 105-byte table in memory. I used Blitz basic and the stock Amiga font to print that.

Code wheels just have more steps to do and are harder to represent on a sheet of paper.

[DamienD]

Well I'm confused (which is not difficult really); even after your detailed analysis

...again; well done "guru" clenched

[Predseda]

Back to the beginning: there is really nobody who would have an original Virocop manual to scan?

[albino]

impressive clenched....well done..
the zool 2 sheet doesn't really work though...

I've got it (AGA version). Stay patient, just returned from vacation.

Works for me using the AGA version IPF 0415.

Are you using real disks?

I suspected as much. Nice explanation for the Virocop example BTW!
