Looking to make an ADF of Spellbound Dizzy
Well, this game has obviously remained untouched by crackers for eons so I thought I'd take a look at it somehow.
According to X-Copy, just the one block (presumably the Rob Northen copylock) could not be replicated. (This was my first time using X-Copy btw, so if I've done anything particularly noobish then do let me know!) Interestingly (or not) it seems this is not one of those Codemasters games that pop up a phone-line screen to obtain an unlock code - just blankness. I proceeded to consult the Amiga Patch List and view the existing Codies cracks instructions to see if anything could be repeated (they all use VC files). Judging by said instructions however (and after viewing said VC files through a hex-editor) it seems they all differ in size and position and there seems to be no discernible way to tell when a CHFI-crunched file ends and other data begins inside. I could do a guessing game but then I'm not sure whether xfddecrunch would fail to decrunch it if I extract the wrong size out, or if not that, whether it would recrunch and still work on the disk afterwards. It must be a lot more complicated, I imagine. If only I knew how to work those Flashtro tutorials like a pro! All advice appreciated, tank yoos. |

Ahhh, is this why there isnt a standalone WHDLoad version around?
Makes perfect sense now |
