Hellowoon - German Retail Release Disk - ADF or IPF

miga · 09 March 2024, 14:21

Looking for an working retail image file of the german version from "Hellowoon: Das Geheimnis des Zauberstabs".

Only cracked versions are around for this. Seems extremly hard to find as real disk. I Had no luck on ebay. Searching for this for years now.

I found an extended adf, not sure where I got it from.

track 79.0-79.1 has a couple of missing sectors but I guess that's some kind of protection.
The game boots and is playable (from what I can tell) but it wont install with WHD installer because of read error on file "1\".
Disk label looks modified (copy of Hellowoon).

It's in the Zone.

Any chance of getting a raw dump of the game? The protection track is similar to the protection used on Tolteka. I would like to add support for it in disk-analyse, but need a raw dump of the game.

Working IPF from Retroplay's upload eadf in the zone. Using Abaddon's Tolteka format.

EDIT: The disk-analyse IPF written to disk works in WinUAE-Drawbridge to the point of the game starting and questions asked. I couldn't test further - it's in German.

Using the IPF written to disk or IPF image with WHDLoad gives an "Incorrect Checksum Block 1749" error (Reading file 1/). So that's not working.

I tested this version: "Hellowoon - Das Geheimnis des Zauberstabs v0.4 (1987)(Ariolasoft)(DE)" found in The Zone and what can I say... it works fine! Tested it using WinUAE and I have written it to disk using GreaseWeazle. Works like a charm from disk on a A500!

Thank you very much for this classic finally working!
