Scoopex decided to release....something olden and golden

The Lost Patrol v1.0 PAL 100%

So, I didn't know about this, otherwise this would have been rectified a lot sooner, but always one slips through the "cracks" lol....

I'll get my coat!

So, turns out that 2 of the cracked versions from back in the day were of the pre-release version which had stuff missing and was plain buggy.

The Quartex version was of the NTSC/US release, but the Paradox PAL release wasn't cracked correctly, the got the serial key for the copylock wrong, so a later check in the game fails, an earlier check doesn't even check for the correct key, just so long as the address at $1f08 isn't empty, then it passes, but a later one expects the right key.

So after Kremiso was willing to playtest, as it is through he that I discovered all this, I cracked the PAL IPF's, got Kremiso to playtest, he confirmed it was working until completion, basic bitch cracktro slapped on, and now, The Lost Patrol PAL is now 100%.

No AGA fixing, just ensuring at least one ADF version is preserved as 100%.

In the zone innit!

Are you searching for something more challenging into Lost Patrol?
I have made an .adf, with the combo USSload + savestate, just for fun

i called it Lost Patrol - worst scenario
Day 2 very start, just Weaver and Gomez alive, outside the helicopter (start point)

i'm uploading the .adf in the zone, if you want give it a try

you'll need both the @Galahad version disks + two floppy drives to test it
