Entity was a cool game but I can`t get it to run properly with winuae,does anyone know how to get this game to work.Is there a special config for it?

dlfrsilver · 22 May 2005, 00:03

it's a game protected by RNC so try to run it with cycle exact option activated ^^

gifgit · 22 May 2005, 02:14

Thanx.

I don`t want to sound like a moron but how do I do that?

@Boulder:

Thanx

Tried that,the game goes as far as the portrait of the woman then it just stops loading,I tried swapping disks but nothing seemed to work.

Prevents the RNC protection to create a copy from the original?
All seems fine while copying the original, but game crashes!

Can anybody confirm, that following disk does not work?

Entity (1993)(Loriciel)(Disk 1 of 4)(Intro)[cr PDX]

After the screen with the heroine's face inifinite disk loop (jumps between 78 and 79).

mai · 09 May 2010, 10:54

thanks for confirming, have you tried different configurations?

TCD · 09 May 2010, 10:58

Yep. A500 most common, 512 + 1.3, KS 1.2 512/512 and A1200 non-expanded. All had the same problem (but different graphic output).

mai · 09 May 2010, 11:01

ok,thanks.

This disk is a exact copy of IPF release, so i suppose it has something to do with the RNC protection.

TCD · 09 May 2010, 11:04

It seems like it tries to read past track 79 and can't find the data. Same on the intro disk.

Some kind of on-disk protection check.

mai · 09 May 2010, 12:01

thanks for checking, Toni.
So both disks get [b] flag.

Toni Wilen · 09 May 2010, 12:16

Hopefully not just plain [b] but some extra info like "disk error" and "not cracked" or something like that, please

andreas · 10 May 2010, 02:17

Well, the other two intro disk images are OK, though not named [cr PDX].
mai, is there anything with the [cr PDX]-tagged intro disk that could let one conclude that PDX tampered with this disk, i. e. left their mark in some way?
At a quick look, I could not find anything...

No, i was not able to find any trace of "PDX" on the mentioned disk, the only trace, why the disk is marked "PDX" could be, that this intro disk is included in original scene release by "PDX"(BE-Trader).
Anyway, i have removed the [cr] flag, because there is no trace and it seems there was also no need for cracking the introdisk, the converted IPF introdisk works fine.

...by the way, i am looking for "PDX" and "FLT" cracked bootable disk 2 without any trainer added.
TOSEC currently holds trained versions only!
