Last Ninja 3 original adfs or aga fixed version

macce2 · 14 February 2016, 19:13

I have original boxed game Last Ninja 3 , but the disks are corrupt.
I tried the whdload version of the game on my A4000d, but noticed that the game level codes (typed in the highscore table screen) didn't work. So there's a trainer option added, but let's say I want to play starting at level 3, with limited lives, it won't be possible because if I select the cheat option, there's automatically unlimited lives.

I tired two cracked floppy versions , but those didn't work. I think the other of those versions needs kick 1.3, and my setup makes softkicking impossible.

So, I'm requesting the CD32 version of WHDload installed game, and original diks images in adf/dms format, and/or AGA fixed version, if that does exist ?

And Happy Valentine's days evening to everybody

Thanks, Superman! ;-)
Btw, am I right the disk image files with WHDload installed version(s) of Last Ninja 3 are from originals..?! :-D No copy protection there..?! :-o

WHDLoad was created to work with original disks, so yes, the WHDLoad 'installs' you may stumble upon should be from genuine disks!

FWIW, Last Ninja 3 uses copylock on Disk 2! If you had a Kryoflux you could write back the IPFs of LN3 to repair you disks, provided the disks are not physically damaged!

Thanks for advice, BarryB. Sure, I don't have Kryoflux. But I renamed the disk image files to .adf files and wrote to floppies. The game loaded ok and seemed to work, but the main sprites (ninja and enemies) were badly corrupted. I tested on my A4000d (040).

But that's a AGA/caches/turbocard problem for sure.

So I thought, too. I wonder if the file named "disk.2" of WHDload installed Last Ninja 3 has copy lock(?) removed or not... :-o

Don't know. But on the original CD32 CD image there are the 2 plain disk images (880KB) too.

If the WHDLoad images have been copied from the floppy version then it's likely Track 0 Side 1 on disk 2 was skipped while installing as that's the copylock track.

Comparing those files on the CD32 ISO and the original IPF, there is no difference in data, therefore I can only assume the NINJA loader on the CD32 version bypasses the copylock!

I made floppies from the disk images of WHDload install of LN 3. The game seems to work, expect for the level codes ( written to the high score table). So I can' t pass the levels.
Anyone there with the original disks of LN 3 .. ?
