I have a crystal crack on floppy disk that I have had for over 20 years. Just tried it on my A1200 and it plays fine.
I have made an ADF of the disks and attached it in case anyone wants to try it. Last edited by Superman; 06 November 2021 at 13:42. |

The game boots until the screen where you're asked whether you want to skip the animations or not. If you do, it then shows the titlescreen and loads for a bit, does a disk check and prompts for the language you want to play the game in. After you select the language, the game craps out and shows an "out of memory" message screen from Krisalis. It allows you to retry by pressing the left mouse button, but the same screen will keep popping up. If you don't have the originals of games, then please stop guessing about their behaviour on real hardware. Arabian Nights is not 100% AGA compatible (and AGA = A1200 and A4000 in this instance BTW). If it was, then there wouldn't have been much need for an AGA fixed version to be released by crackers or the WHDLoad team to have patched it years ago! Also, it could be that V1.01 was released to improve AGA compatibility. I won't know for sure until I test it. Last edited by DrBong; 04 February 2016 at 20:04. |

This is going to be kinda OT, but I just want to say this is one of the finest games I ever played. I find funny how this was supposed to be a "filler" release from Krisalis while waiting for Soccer Kid to be ready, but this is actually way better than Soccer Kid. This game is freaking awesome.
I hope this HD release works with my 2mb A600. |

If you type simeon on the title screen (Simeon Pashley was the programmer) it enables cheat mode, the screen will flash red to indicate it's active, you can then press these keys in game:
Power sword - [F1] Toggle PAL or NTSC display - [F10] Level skip - [Tab] Slow motion - H English - E French - F German - G Dutch - D Invincibility, unlimited keys - [Left Amiga] This info from Lemon Amiga |

There is only one protection check, right after finishing level 1, using the level skip there are no more protection checks after this! That's if the cheat doesn't disable further checks of course

Indeed.
No need to be a cracker/coder, just comparing v1.00 executables(cracked and original), search for hex in v.101 and applying the values of cracked executable. Quote:
Although i already thought, that it is not needed anymore, since you have already different supposed working version found! |

It was and still is the original request. According to WinUAE, everything is now fixed, thanks to your crack and some of the several versions posted in this thread, but I'm still waiting to see if the ADF version loads on a real Amiga 1200, which until I get my new Gotek I cannot test.
Also, if someone is still interested, I found a way to play the two-disk floppy version with Cortex firmware. It's so simple that I'm baffled to why I hadn't tried it before. Just let the game load all the way up to the language selection menu and then, before choosing your language, change the disks. When you press fire, it will start reading disk 2 and load the game. Simple. |

I haven't (and won't) tested the uncracked disk again, but knowing now that the crack is applied in disk 1, I suppose that it won't work. Lesson learned, though: one should not speak before testing all the way through. |

Have you noticed any differences between Arabian Nights V1.00 and V1.01? Haha, good to see that you used a hex editor this time! |

Donsen´t work on Amiga CD32 with Shuttle ( or Elsat Promodule ) No matter, or Original CD/Disc or Cracked ... Always after "START" > Black Screen ( and no Music in the Intro ) Strange, Soccer Kid has the Same issue ( no music ) but the game works at least. Will i ever be able to play Arabian Nights on the Amiga Cd32 Pro-Module? Even WHDLOAD wont help .... And why this/those title/s ? Arabian Nights is one of my favorites Last edited by Nibbler; 16 February 2016 at 18:02. Reason: typo |

@Nibbler
Doesn't the regular CD32 version work on your set-up then? |
