Maybe one of our members with the knowledge can look at the ADF and if possible fix it, or recrack the available IPF(any kind of protection track 00).

I'll have a look.

I just had a look, protection is a simple copylock which I have removed already. It should also be possible to create a 1 disk version of this game which I'll try to do. You can expect a working version (trained+680x0 fixed) soon.

1-Disk version would of course superb, but an unprotected disk 2 for use with any availble cracked disk 1 would be also necassery.

If I didn't miss anything obvious it should be no problem to create an image of the IPF and use that as disk 2.

Rally Championships (1994)(Flair)[cr PDY](Disk 4 of 4)

It seems that Disk 4 is corupted.

[mai]

any reason or description of error?

[lolafg]

@ Mai ,

Well the game loads well but when asking for disk4 it freezes , it's a pity as it's a good game.
I tried it in 1.3 rom ECS mode with 1mb chip ram and with 3.1 rom.

[mai]

The disk is normal DOS, seems nothing wrong with the disk.
When is asked for disk 4, later in the game?

No , no later in the game , it ask "insert disk 4" and game is blocked here.
Well i'm under Minimig so perhaps it's not recognized by the Minimig , will try under winuae and will let you know.

[lolafg]

Well i had to be mad when i posted this as the game works perfectly under Winuae and under Minimig , it's just that i had to enable only one disk drive and ECS mode.... sorry , really .

There are different releases/cracks in TOSEC, some of them seems to be bad.
Cyberzerk (1993)(boeder)(Disk 1 of 2)[cr ACS]
128C2530
NDOS
This is a fixed version of the "ACS" crack.
I suppose it is a memory configuration fix.

Cyberzerk (1993)(boeder)(Disk 1 of 2)[cr ACS][a]
5593587D
NDOS
This is original "ACS" crack.

Cyberzerk (1993)(boeder)(Disk 1 of 2)[cr ACS][t +10 ATX]
C51A1FAD
DOS
This is trained and 1-disked(probably like the original) version by "ATX"
This version is working 100%, i think. (including end-part)

Cyberzerk (1993)(boeder)(Disk 1 of 2)[cr ACS][t +10 ATX][a]
FDC24E91
DOS
Same as previous "ATX" release, except this release has checksum error in 1 file.

Cyberzerk (1993)(boeder)(Disk 1 of 2)[cr ACS][t +11 ZNT]
F3B22156
NDOS
This is trained version by "ZNT" without any mem fix, crashs on some mem configs too.

Cyberzerk (1993)(boeder)(Disk 2 of 2)[cr ACS]
NDOS
any Disk 2 of "ACS" release, endpart is not loading, causes GURU.

Cyberzerk (1993)(boeder)(Disk 2 of 2)[cr ACS][a]
17136C52
NDOS
This is disk 2 of original "ACS" release.
end-part is not loading, causes GURU too.
I dont know if it is any problem with disk 1 (Loader) or bad cracked disk 2.

So the "ATX" trained, 1-disked version seems to be the good one.
Cyberzerk (1993)(boeder)(Disk 1 of 2)[cr ACS][t +10 ATX]
C51A1FAD

[andreas]

Good find.

Now another hint to get this disk image from "very well renamed" to "perfectly renamed" : c51a1fad does no longer need the "(Disk x of y)" bit!

Bard's Tale III, The - Thief of Fate (1991)(Electronic Arts)(Disk 1 of 2)(Thief)[cr CPY]
The "CPY" version is uncracked, i suppose because "CPY" was not aware of the code wheel check later in the game.

Bard's Tale III, The - Thief of Fate (1991)(Electronic Arts)(Disk 1 of 2)(Thief)[cr UNL]
The "UNL" version is also uncracked, althought they claim it as cracked, but i am sure it is not.

So the good one seems to be the "RZR" version:
Bard's Tale III, The - Thief of Fate (1991)(Electronic Arts)(Disk 1 of 2)(Thief)[cr RZR]

As it seems all HD Versions of Death or Glory: Das Erbe von Morgan (The battle of Morgan) [German only] are not working correctly, since you can't finish the last Chapter / Level, it just crashes and you can't play the Addon "Der dunkle Kaiser" with it, since because you need to finish first and then you WOULD be able to play. The original disks (8 disks) I used on my old Amiga 1200 aren't working aswell. You can play without problems till last level and sometime within that level it randomly crashes, theres no way to pass this point. Everything is still there, but your heros are all "E'd" (Exhausted) and you can't do anything, your enemy should actually do something, since you ended the round, but nothing happens. Save / Load works, but doesn't solve the problem in any way.

If you want to finish Death or Glory some time, use the DOS Version, it's full of bugs, but atleast you're able to finish it.
Just some hints about the bugs: You can't heal everyone with Armitas, some Heros / Units just don't get HP back.
Mana-Related Items, except mana-restore, just work in the 1st round, then they lose their effect, but still give you - Attack and - Defense or - HP / per round.

Aswell as some units, like Dragons, cant fly even if they're supposed to (Im aiming to the manual which's saying that)
All this is working with the Amiga Version correctly.

the fame on winuae run ok but in joker mode some object like mouses Are corrupted!!i think the readon it is not the winuae emu but game crack...

Speris Legacy, The (1996)(Team 17)(AGA)(Disk 1 of 4)[cr QTX]
Speris Legacy, The (1996)(Team 17)(AGA)(Disk 1 of 4)[cr QTX][a]

Both TOSEC disks are uncracked.
Now i wonder, if the disks with the "QTX" cracktro is a fake, or exists a version with real "QTX" cracked exe.
Even the released "LSD" trainer is for the "QTX" version.

[mai]

Ok, it seems "QTX" crack needs special Disk 2.
