This extremly Rare Game was never cracked and would needs a fix
This Game "Regent 2.0" is classified by HOL as extremly rare and was to my knowledge never cracked.
(The old 7Disk NDOS version was cracked but also doesn´t work) https://hol.abime.net/1220 Besides that, i can´t get it to run. (99%) Even IF it runs, it crashes right at the Code protection. What is going on here ? JOTD, CFou!, StingRay & Friends I uploaded it to the Zone if you want to give it a try https://eab.abime.net/zone/Regent.lha Greetings, Torti PS:Sorry for the Typo in the Topic; was getting pretty late. Time for some Last edited by Torti-the-Smurf; 26 January 2023 at 12:27. |

Thanks TCD, that helps for sure
Can you get this game to work ? I fail 99% of the time and it seems quiet random. Tried pretty much every setup/config under the Sun. So odd. |

I ran it this morning from disks using an A500 quickstart in WinUAE. I haven't tried the HD version you uploaded yet.
Have you seen the HDInstall document on disk 1? Maybe there is a clue how to get it running: Code:
Ab der Version 2.0 lässt sich -- R E G E N T -- auch auf die Festplatte installieren. Gehen Sie dazu wie folgt vor: 1. Machen Sie ein Verzeichnis auf der Platte. (Z.B. makedir dh0:REGENT) Kopieren Sie das REGENT-Symbol auf die Festplatte. Legen sie dazu die PROGRAMMDISKETTE in das Laufwerk df0: . (Z.B. copy df0:REGENT1.info to dh0:REGENT.INFO) 2. Kopieren Sie alle vier Disketten in das Verzeichnis (Z.B. copy df0: to dh0:regent all -> Das mit allen Disks machen!) 3. Binden Sie die REGENT Pfade in das System ein. Dazu müssen Sie die BATCH-Datei im REGENT-Verzeichnis editieren. Um dies zu tun wechsen Sie in das REGENT-Verzeichnis. ("cd dh0:regent") Und geben Sie jezt "ED REGENT.HD" ein. Nun können Sie die eingestellten Pfade auf Ihr System abstimmen! Der Inhalt von REGENT.HD ( Assign REGENT_Disk_0: dh0:REGENT Assign REGENT_Disk_1: dh0:REGENT Assign REGENT_Disk_2: dh0:REGENT Assign REGENT_Disk_3: dh0:REGENT Assign fonts: dh0:REGENT/FONTS copy REGENT_Disk_0:rgb to ram: all quiet endcli ) Wenn REGENT !NICHT! im Verzeichnis DH0:REGENT liegt, dann müssen Sie diese Eintragungen auf Ihre Pfade abändern! 4. Jedes Mal bevor Sie REGENT starten müssen Sie diese Datei mit "execute regent.HD" aktivieren. Erst danach können Sie REGENT von der Workbench aus starten! FONT-PROBLEME: 5. Wenn REGENT gestartet wir und die Schrift nicht in der richtigen Größe erscheint verwenden Sie vermutlich Kick 2.0 was hier leider zu unangenehmen Problemen führen kann. Sie müssen in diesem Falle eine START-Diskette machen. Kopieren Sie dafür die REGENT Programm- Diskette und Booten Sie von dieser. Bennen Sie die Diskette mit der Workbench-Funktion RENAME in !REGENT! um. Klicken Sie dann auf das CLI-Icon. Nun geben sie folgendes ein (EIGENE Pfade beachten!): "cd dh0:games" "execute REGENT.HD" (-> Pfade müssen falls nötig geändert werden!) Das CLI-Fenster verschwindet wieder. Jetzt Können Sie REGENT von Ihrer Festplatte starten! (ICON anklicken!) Die Startdiskette können Sie natülich von jetzt ab immer zum Hochfahren verwenden. Falls Sie Probleme mit der Installation haben sollten rufen Sie bitte unsere Hotline (!Nummer ist im Handbuch!) an. Und jetzt viel Vergnügen mit der schnellen Festplattenversion! Sig. 2.8.1922 Martin Martin |

(i can´t even get the 1.09 version with the 7 NDos Disks to work) Weird. Maybe you could upload them to the Zone, so we could take a look. |

Of course I could help you with that. Should have been posted in the "list of games that needs whdload" section. Typically how whdload helps.

Regent 1.1 is 7 disk and is cracked
Regent 2.0 is 4 disk and installed now on HD it works perfectly with Codes Protection. Regent 2.0 Assign script Regent.HD is wrong in my case because: You must copy on hd all disk in a directory called Regent. Copy Fonts and libs if necessary then you edit Assign script: c:assign regent_disk_0: dh0:regent c:assign regent_disk_1: dh0:regent c:assign regent_disk_2: dh0:regent c:assign regent_disk_3: dh0:regent copy dh0:regent/rgb to ram: all quiet c:endcli launch the game from Regent icon and after codes the game works. i run this game from Workbench 1.3 with 1,5 MB of memory (1 MB chip RAM + 0,5 Slow RAM) and of course OCS chipset. |

Even without a HD install; the game crashes from floppy disk !!!
Ohhh, whats that ..... ....it works ONLY with kickstart 1.3. Man, my Brain must be in deep sleep when i tested it and that it gives an "Software Error" /Guru when you enter something in the Code Protection seemed not right for me, but i guess thats how that works. A Crack / WHDload version would still be very nice Last edited by Torti-the-Smurf; 26 January 2023 at 14:25. Reason: got it working .. again ... with 1.3;crashed at code protection |

http://eab.abime.net/zone/Regent.zip you must copy fonts from disk 1 in dh0:fonts. Libs in disk are amost the same, but check if you missing something. 1.1 cracked http://eab.abime.net/zone/Regent%20v...e%29_0.zip.zip Last edited by Seiya; 26 January 2023 at 14:24. |

Same result.
So it ONLY works with kickstart 1.3 and gives a Guru when something wrong is entered at the Copy Protection Screen Really, not even a second try ? Really weird and that is what caught me off guard. That is not "normal" !!! PS: i would have made a nicer script; like the on in the zone PSS: Thanks for it anyway. Kudos |

So, i could try out the game now (the old cracked 7 disk 1.09 version)
Holy cow, that game is very complex and the artwork is kinda A crack for version 2.0 (4 Disks) would still be very great. (and a WHDload version for people who dont have kick 1.3 in there amiga´s) |

it works also on A1200, 3.0, AGA and Chip and Fast
also here i saw that intro it works perfecly, but game no. So i copy fonts from disk_0 and also icon.library and info.library. It works!, but not good colors, so not good to play. Last edited by Seiya; 26 January 2023 at 19:04. |

The solution is: not compatible with 3.x. It works also with 2.05, so Amiga 600 HD with ECS.
With A1200 also it works if you load 2.x. i think that it works as far as 68030 with kickstart 2.x Last edited by Seiya; 26 January 2023 at 19:23. |

There was a Reason for that Script that i made. (in the Zone)
You can´t just copy old versions of 1.3 Librarys to Workbench 3.0+. Sure you can, but you screw things up, especially if they are essential ones like the Icon.library ! (Still; thanks for trying and experimenting Kudos ) There will be a Solution for this Game to play it on 3.0+ Amigas/configs and it´s called WHDload ! The Code protection is also screwed up. One Mistake and the Game crashes. So a fix by JOTD will be very welcomed for people who wants to play this game. |
