Rock Challenge (WORKING)

andreas · 24 October 2004, 12:38

Received an e-mail from a guy just recently, who told me that NONE of his numerous versions of Rock Challenge could be made work on WinUAE.
A bug? Mostly unlikely. I downloaded *all* of the 5 TOSEC ones, transferred them to my Miggy and ... what wuz that on teh screen? Arabic?

At least it felt like it when I clicked on one of the question fields.

I scanned thru the disks in WB, and found the font on disk, 'small 7', to be working perfectly!
However, when I pressed one of the umlaut keys, this "Arabian"-like writing came up. Ahhh...not the font was broken, it was the question file!

And all 5 disks would show the same behavior, not even mentioning the extraordinary small size of the disk files (~180 kb).

Does anyone have a working copy? (must be non-TOSEC, of course!)
(Game is neither CAPSed nor WHDized either yet. Originals welcome, too.)

OK, lemme bump this up after exactly THREE (!) years.

They don't call it a Challenge for nothing

All known me versions of this game has missing track data, perhaps someone uses BAMCOPY with X-Copy and all track data are misses. Good version must have much more than 180 kilo zipped.

Yeah, question file (the core and gist of everything) is trashed!
Quiz without question file - that's like salted chips without salt!

Well Don, have you ever had a good copy in your hands?

No, when I ripped music in Beathoven Synthesizer format, I seen that all versions are incomplete (this same source). Perhaps only original version can be good, this game uses ReadySoft longtracks, I think.

This game is rare, I think. Perhaps you can ask him:http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,14180/ Maybe he can make IPF version or something similar.

dlfrsilver · 14 August 2009, 14:11

yes that would be a solution.

Hello,

I got an answer from Beatbxox, the guy who owns Rock challenge can't create an ADF at the moment. I asked him if it was related to him not having an amiga, or the tools.
I wait for a reply from him

Cool, thanks for your efforts Denis!
