Yeah, use Copylock from Floppy but use manual from HD, why they didn't though is a mystery!

Uploaded both disks, install scripts were on Disk 1.

They also screwed up the manual (or the Amiga version) as some menu items are either not there or called something else!! Seems Domark didn't think the Amiga version was worth any QA!!

Street Rod, sort of.
Manual protection is only cracked on the 512k executable.

On A500 with 1mb chip ram modification or (some) A2000s the game isn't playable unless you have the manual at hand.

No, unfortunately not.
It needs color scans and the car icons seems to be missing from the scan.


This is where Skid Row version fails if you have 1mb chip ram.

Do educational games count? If so, I don't think there is a crack of Better Maths by School Software!

Uses Copylock!!

Also, did Damocles Mission Disk 1 ever get cracked?

What about cracked NTSC games like Battle Squadron, Nitro or Rocket Ranger, do any of those exist?

Also, Spaceport (reLine) has Disk/Code Sheet protection on the copy I have (never played the game though) but the releases in TOSEC don't say cracked? I've also read that the protection check was flawed and so was the check for the result: https://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=15 is that why it didn't need cracking?

I'm not linking to any random site I don't know, but googling "Street Rod manual" pointed me to a site oldgames dot sk which has a download for a manual with "color keys". And by golly, they are actually colored keys.

It's a whole different manual from what is on HOL with close to 40 pages.

Found it, waay better quality than the one on HOL.


Not that I need it, I was just pointing out Skid Row only "half-cracked"

the game, is all.

Kick Off 2 but with German player names. I used to have the World Cup 90 edition of it but the disk was destroyed. I loved that version of the game. But the cracks you get with German player names are incomplete and will randomly crash the system while gaming.

Another German version that does not have a working crack is "International Soccer Challenge".

Thank you for the info. Asked them if we can add that manual to HOL.

EA's Fusion, well according to some dude from Lemon (meaning, I haven't checked myself, seems plausible though)

Maybe it works, it is not I who claim it doesn't. Reason I posted about it is simple as that, there's this guy on Lemon <ESCAPEE21> pretending there are no fully working cracks for this shooter including in Psygore's slave (well, that comment was made in 2021, slave was updated in 2022, so maybe someone mentioned such an issue on mantis). So, in short should the WOW crack allow to enter 2nd level / area then claim should be ignored.

My ship seems to be stuck in a 16 pixel square area from the very start, sorry, not my idea of a shooter I'd be willing to sink my teeth in but be my guest !

This obscure 6 disk strategy game needs a crack or manual scan. After first battle there's a manual check https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/l...me#information
