Agony (EU)[0960] modified highscore detected

Mrk · 30 April 2007, 01:48

The high score screen from the game "Agony (EU)[0960]" seemed to be modified as the entries differ with the US version.

"Agony (EU)[0960]" modified ?

Agony (US)

Hey Mrk, this is my score ! lool

Knowing absolutely nothing about how it all works, just looks like the US version is shifted up with black space at the bottom. Differences in screen rate or something?

The SPS guys dont usually release IPF images of disks which have been modified.... where did you get this from?

Mrk · 30 April 2007, 11:08

You'll just have to wait on the intro a few minutes and the high score apeared!

Look at the values and names on the high score tables. You can see the difference.

Most likely some playtester played the game, got a high-score and then that disk was used as the master. SPS do not release games that have not been duplicated with proper hardware, so at least that version must have been duplicated like that!

I think I remember seeing that before in a cracked version of the game too.

Maybe someone could check.

Hello,

I have tested the ipf of Agony 960 and the Highscore is correct : there is A M 150000

The Work of SPS is good

Rochabian · 01 May 2007, 01:37

dlfrsilver · 01 May 2007, 04:01

Please guys, don't even half post URLs for where you can obtain SPS files from...

Yeah it's a recently 'discovered' version, it was mastered like this.

MethodGit · 01 May 2007, 22:34

If no-one can say where it was downloaded from, how can people continue to investigate this and compare other files etc?

Retro-Nerd · 01 May 2007, 22:48

But the SPS release #2701 is fine.

IFW · 02 May 2007, 09:39

The disk is not modified; the EU master was probably played by someone before duplication just like Codetapper says.

I noticed that one of SPS BattleIsle disks (not sure which one, will have to check) had saved score in first mission.
