Manual Copyprotection in Final Countdown WHDLoad

[rsn8887]

Final Countdown WHDLoad contains an un-cracked copy protection (see screenshot).

- Enter the terminal on Level 1 (from starting position, take the elevator up, then go left, hop over the mine, activate the switch to activate elevator, hop over a mine, go down the elevator, go right, hop over two mines, the terminal is to your right.

- In the terminal, enter the command "CD"

For me, it now printed "Security Check No 1 - Within which radius was the limited trade possible ? S13 P4"

The S13 P4 means that the answer is in the manual sheet 13, paragraph 4. The answer is 15 according to the manual on hol.abime.net. If the wrong answer is given, the game hangs endlessly.

In the Paradox Crack included with Gamebase Amiga 2.0, this protection can be bypassed by pressing enter.

Also, when using the "Show" command on a ".pic" file, the pic appears too quickly. On a real A500, there's a cool little effect how the picture is drawn one layer after the other. On WHDLoad, this happens way too fast to be visible.

Pretty cool game by the way.

I made two correct issues here:

Please delete issue #4772 it was wrong, I selected the wrong project it was confusing (why can I not delete issues I created myself?).
