I think its not a config problem, its rather crack related.
I wonder, why noone has mentioned it before, its a good game. So, here my experiences: Cool Spot (1993)(Virgin)(Disk 3 of 3)[cr PDY] 61F2486F this is the set you used, this is an exact copy of the IPF. If i use cracked version disk 1 and IPF disk 2 and 3, the game crashes also after inserting and some loading of disk 3. If i use IPF disk 1 and cracked(or probably not cracked) TOSEC ADFs disks 2 and 3 the game crashes after inserting and some loading of disk 3 too. So i suppose its a bad crack. Seems to be a job for Stingray or Galahad. |

It isn't. It's definitely a bad crack, PDY butchered the loader thus the game doesn't work correctly. Then again, PDY cracks weren't known for quality anyway.
Since Mai asked me to have a look at it (before you posted in this thread) I am working on it too. I'll continue to work on my version, it isn't finished yet anyway (lacks AGA/680x0 fixes and I need to code a new trainer menu etc.) so it'll probably take a while. |

Then feel free to continue
I didn't check the PDY version, because if I wanted tips on how NOT to do something, that would be the thing to do! I'm guessing they screwed up the loader with the part thats used to detect different disks, because the Copylock is ridiculously easy and not even PDY could screw that up..... could they? But, GREMLINS 2 is mine!!! |

I had the same Prodigy (PDY) crack. Could never complete the game with that on a real A500 or under WinUAE. It seems the IPF image is the only way to complete it.
I honestly thought an AGA A1200/A4000 fixed re-crack would have been released by now. Hmm, always been up to Galahad or Stingray to do it right It does definitely seem to be loader related. I do recall on a few occassions the game not resetting but just trying to continuously load from disk on the loading screen. On most occassions all disk activity stopped, then reset with guru. You would think they would have tested the custom disk loader for issues. Then again this obviously was a quick crack. Last edited by niobyte; 16 August 2010 at 17:15. |

Apparently he was too stupid to realise that the had to patch the loader (i.e. code a completely new disk check routine). Anyway, PDY && quality cracks = NEVER computed! |

Even the Gamebase guys did not find any working disks of this game.
Its not included until now, so it seems really worth to create a working set. |
