Streetfighter 2 (4 drive support)

Solid Snake · 17 May 2022, 23:10

O.K, I understand that this was not as good as it could (should) of been. But, it was a controversial game which was best played against a friend.
I came across a pdf guide called "Streetfighter 2 Cracking the MFM & Copy lock Protection. Extending Functionality to Use Upto 4 Disk Drives". Did anyone follow this guide and create disks labelled:
SF2_CRACKED_D1
SF2_CRACK_D2
SF2_CRACK_D3
SF2_CRACK_D4

I don't have an Action Replay or the original disks so I can't attempt this. The Whdload install for this game states that there was a lot of wasted disk space. The game could of fitted easily onto 3 disks! I'm curious, does a 3 disk version exist?

If not, then I would appreciate the 4 Disk version that supports multiple floppy drives. Thanks.

Off topic a bit, but may as well ask here:

I've never really played it, but I remember seeing it on an A500, and it was slow, but isn't it faster on an A1200? Surely it's closer to being full speed?

The original game would only load into the A500. This was later fixed so it would run on an A1200. This version also plays faster too! The hack mentioned in this thread adds multi-drive support, so less disk swapping. This helps improve the gaming experience.

Don't need 4 drive support.

Disk 1 is only needed to load up the intro/options, and then game only uses the remaining 3 disks

I guess the easiest way would be do it in WinUAE (it supports cartridge emulation).
