100% cracked working version of Hook in ADF form

MethodGit · 04 December 2009, 11:46

So here's the gist.

I am aware that the Fairlight version of Hook is not cracked perfectly. Mainly in that some hidden protection checks(?) ensure that three key items are omitted from the game, making completion impossible(?).

The WHDLoad version supposedly fixes this problem, but alas the fixes are obviously not applied directly to the images, but loaded into memory during startup.

I was just wondering how easy it would be to hardcode the fixes so that ADF lovers may similarly enjoy a fully fixed floppy title?

Thanks.

Galahad 100% cracked Hook quite some time ago now..

The version from gamebase(if i remember right) should be 100%.

Can you reupload Galahad's version to the zone Belg? I missed it and it's not on the file server either.

Belgarath · 04 December 2009, 12:24

In the zone.

Thanks

I don't know if anyone else grabbed them from the zone after I did them, I don't think i've still got them but i'll look.

TCD · 04 December 2009, 16:54

Found the Spanish version and uploaded it to the zone. Hope someone else has the Italian one

Galahad/FLT · 04 December 2009, 16:58

This is quite annoying, I cannot find any of the versions I did, and I had no reason to delete them! grrrrrrrrrrr!

WOW, thanks!

Belgarath · 04 December 2009, 17:47

I only ever had the English and Spanish versions...never saw the Italian one.

Galahad/FLT · 04 December 2009, 17:51

Definately remember doing it.

Galahad/FLT · 04 December 2009, 17:55

Right, now i'm not sure if I actually completed the Italian version.

Laser (he now banned!) provided me Spanish and Italian versions, but I remember one of the Italian disks being a bit shit, but I can't for the life of me remember if I solved that and then released it, i can't see in that Hook thread me mentioning releasing it in the Zone, but did for Spanish and English.

Perhaps I didn't do it then?

TCD · 04 December 2009, 17:56

Hmm, this thread only mentions the English and Spanish version : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=31463 (at least it only mentions that you uploaded that two).

Edit : Ah, you found that thread too

Galahad/FLT · 04 December 2009, 18:00

Well if anyone other than Laser has the Italian disk images, I can crack it properly, because I was working from a 'cracked' version before, and that just like the Spanish and English versions wasn't cracked properly.

So any Italians have it backed up somewhere?

Even though Belgarath already did in another thread, enough to get all the screenshots for HOL?

If you had searched for Hook here, it would have brought up that very thread.

So again..... sigh
