Hybris rare Cracktro

Hello I'm kinda new on salvaging rare Amiga disks to upload to this site. I've just used TSGUI to rescue this .adf that doesn't appear in RomCenter TOSEC.

I don't know other utilities or any softwares that are essential to check for lha errors or bad sectors, so you may have to point out which software I should use to verify this data or that.

Here is Hybris Cracked by QTX but with the Cracktro by Bus-Soft:-

I tried this file with WinUAE and I just get a blank blue screen for the cracktro. The game loads though when I click the left mouse button.

Blank, passable screen on cracktro is mostly because of wrong memory configuration.

I got it running by disabling the extra ram. It seems it is as Toni says chip ram only. Very interesting cracktro and I'm sure the guys at flashtro will be interested in uploading it to their site as they like rare stuff on there.

Also the "Slim" glitches occur on A500+ KS 2.04 when typing a few chars in the AmigaDOS when loading. I discovered that 25 years ago when I was 6.

Also the scroll and bus prop works properly only at exact 68000 mode as A1200 mode makes the bus prop arrive too soon from the countdown.

I have to ask, what is the source of the ADF, because the ADF is modified(datestamp 2016-05-22)?
We prefer unmodified images!

Not a cracktro, but an import intro.

Quartex didn't have cracktros back then, preferring CLI text and posey poems instead under the guise of "Quartex SPEAKS!"

This would have been downloaded by someone and then put their intro on it, as modems were still quite expensive and a rarity back in 1988.

I used TSGUI with the Memory Card adapter and the special boot disk for my A600 to acquire that adf from the actual floppy.

No, the problem is that the disk was not protected against writing before putting it in the drive. It's too late now ...
Edit: Except, perhaps, if the file was modified by an emulator!? Can you make a second dump?

Sorry for late reply but I think this is it, after redumping that ROM as I've moved house.
