Unfortunately IFW it wasn't that easy.

The programmer told Bobic that the game had some special copy protection routine that would destroy the disk if it was copied. Rather than risk wrecking the game, he thought he would send it to a reliable cracker. Unfortunately the game was sent off to Galahad before checking with some of the other more knowledgeable guys (about whether that copy protection was possible) so unless he returns here and uploads a warp/uses the CAPS tool, the game (like Raiden before it) may well be lost forever...

Also the game may have some manual protection in it aswell, and often these old games won't work on real Amigas so you still need to crack it/WHDLoad install it unless you want to limit it to emulator use.
