English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Ultima IV: When/where does the protection get checked?

Have a copy of Ultima IV that seems to have a 'broken' protection track accordig to Denis (CT RAW in The Zone) but seems to let you start the game, make a Play Disk and save/load your game!

The official IPF (US Relase) uses Xelok protection that Abaddon has supported in Disk-Utilities but my dump is not identified as Xelok and Abaddon has been looking through the code but hasn't yet found where/if the protection gets checked!

Psygore did the WHDLoad but there is no mention of protection being removed!

So does anyone know when/where the protection kicks in and/or what it affects?
