robinson requiem aga and ecs bug

johnz · 27 February 2011, 11:25

hello

i'am a big fan of robinson requiem and when i was young it was impossible to beat the game on my 600 because it was slow as hell. nowaday i have a apollo 1240 and the two version of rob (the ecs and the ag) and both of them crash nearly at the same area. the game freezes when you are in the first cave. it crashes both on my 040 and my 030.

is it possible to do something in order to reach the end of that very interesting game?

thank you

If I remember correctly game have some bugs, it's not WHDLoad problem.

johnz · 27 February 2011, 13:08

ok but with that kind of bug the game is unbeatable. on my falcon, the game has the same kind of bug!

also it would be nice to obtain some enhancements on the frame rate of the game

It is a problem of whdload slave it freeze at the same location where the protection check appears. So it is a task for CFOU! or some other whdload member.
Report it and wait for update.

where can i do that?

This is the official WHDLoad bug tracker : http://mantis.whdload.de/main_page.php

johnz · 27 February 2011, 19:50

done ^^

BTW I've tested the game on my Blizzard 030 mkIV and it's very slow: one frame per second

johnz · 27 February 2011, 22:47

yeah it's really slow. with the minimum detail and the mini window, the game runs well on my apollo 1240

This game was bad cracked by Mok, use original version (4 words from manual) and you can play this game without crash.

johnz · 28 February 2011, 12:50

but i don't have the manual? and where can i find a valid archive (no adf because my floppy disk drive is dead). have you ever beat the game?

TCD · 28 February 2011, 13:01

Maybe this one works : http://www.abandonia.com/files/extra...iem_Manual.pdf ?

johnz · 28 February 2011, 18:12

anyway it would be nice to have a full working version of the game :-)

This is possible only for very good crackers. Not all crackers like interpreter code to crack.
BTW. Some (most ?) ECS versions of this game has one file (from 3D section) missing, then you must find good version (maybe IPF ?) of ECS version.

Only the AGA version has been preserved yet.

When does the manual protection pop up?

EDIT: Game can probably be cracked without ever touching any of the game code/interpreter code

First time at begining (after the panther (?) to kill), but this game has perhaps more protection checks. Silmarils games has minimal 2 manual checks.
Paradox version is not cracked, Prestige version is bad cracked.

Then he can use my trick, I get missing file from AGA version, and it works.

johnz · 01 March 2011, 17:35

so that game wasn't well cracked?

Galahad/FLT · 01 March 2011, 22:27

Well I have an idea where Silmarils can stick as many checksums in the game as they like, but if my idea pays off, it'll be 100% and easy to get past EVERY and ANY protection check

dlfrsilver · 01 March 2011, 23:44

Checksums in silmarils games ? Really ? :|
