Hi,

I saw there was 2 SCP files in Turran for the game Technocop :

https://ftp.grandis.nu/turran/FTP/Th...8)(U.S.%20Gold)[original%20disk%20scp].7z

or

https://ftp.grandis.nu/turran/FTP/Fl...8)(U.S.%20Gold)[original%20disk].scp.zip

Please could You create an IPF file for this game ?

Edit : The game seems to work on a real A500 with a Gotek drive after converting the SCP file i HFEv3 file.

Many Thanks,

Best regards,

Pascal

It even works as an adf.
Be aware there's Byte Bandit virus on the bootblock in the SCP dump.

I've Zoned a couple of adfs.
The Byte Bandit infected one as well as a cleaned adf.

There is no difference, both files in each archive have the same name and CRC!

Ok ... any solution to remove the virus on the SCP version ?

Is that version(SCP) is a cracked Version ?

Retroplay already posted both ADF Files in the Zone

Hi Barry,


Ok Thanks for Your Unofficial IPF


Is there a Virus or not in the IPF ?

[Retroplay]

There is, that's why I chose adf over ipf.

Hi Barry,

Retroplay is right... There is a bootBlock virus in the SCp and in Your IPF

Question :

Ok ... any solution to remove the virus on the SCP version ?

Is that version (SCP) is a cracked Version ?

Ok Thanks, I see It

Edit : Is that SCP is a cracked version of the game ?

[Retroplay]

Hmm, could it be a budget re-release or possibly compilation version ?
This version doesn't have the Herndon HLS file like the other U.S. Gold versions I've seen.

ok thank you for your information and your perseverance

All the tracks in the SCP are index aligned, so how was that SCP made, index aligned implies it's duplicated!! Was it an ADF run through the Greaseweazle converter to make ADF > SCP?

Thers is another dump: https://ftp2.grandis.nu/turran/FTP/F...S.%20Gold).zip

This one is Virus free (but not index aligned) so is this hacked as there is no mention of Gremlin Graphics on the initial title screen only 'THE SCC' and the High Scores are different!

Whether the Technocop re-release was based on an actual crack I can't say for sure, because the copy protection was an absolute joke in the first place, I can't see how it would have caused any problems.

So on the original it loads up "techboot.prg", which does a protection track check on side 1 of Track 0, if it fails, it crashes, if it passes, it then proceeds to load up file "car.iff".

The problem with this "protection" is you don't need "techboot.prg" at all, you can simply change the startup-sequence to load "car.iff" instead, as its the executable game file, which is exactly what they did.

Original upload by user miga is still in the Zone.

Technocop (1988)(U.S. Gold)[original disk scp] - SCP image of my original disk made with Greaseweazle. Highscores seem to be modified.

I made this directly from my original game disk bought on ebay. Well, looks original to me. What others have done to the disk before I bought it I can`t tell.

Was it a boxed game ?
If so, do the box look like the US Gold box as shown at HOL ?
