Marathon v1.6b request

qupe · 27 December 2021, 00:12

Hi there,

would anyone be able to convert this so I can try it out please on an emulator? I'm not sure if it will fit on an ADF or not.

I know 1.5b SW-R is out there but this is 1.6b.

Many thanks

Zoned bootable hdf. Needs 68020 + Fast Ram to run full speed.

Hi Aardvark, thank you for the HDF.

It works and the update includes music now but for some reason I can't get player 2 controls working? They work fine in 1.5b.

Q: The second player doesn't move, what's wrong?

A: Nothing really, you need a keyfile to use the second player. Just copy it into the marathon directory and the game should know it's there.

Hi all,

does anyone have the keyfile for this as I can't find it anywhere.

The email for Peter de Boer on Aminet is out of date and returns a failure notice.

I messaged someone named Peter de Boer on Instagram who replied but wasn't the same person... he had played on an Amiga in his youth tho. I tried David at Obligement but no avail there either.

A week or so ago; DamienD managed to make an .ADF out of the "Marathon v1.6b" archive:

http://aminet.net/package/game/2play/marathon

Nice work, but in his own words... pointless as Player 2 is disabled without a registration key.

He then asked the main man ross if he could possibly look at when free.

Last night ross sent him a new cracked game .EXE.

So, now in The Zone! you will find the latest version and fully playable!!!

Thank you sooooo much ross and DamienD. Enjoy ;-)

Thanks Ross & qupe

Would it be possible to have the executable uncompressed? Because the compress crashes with the slaves workbench whdl (winuae crash to windows) (but works with the GenericKick31). The unregistered version works with all slaves.

@ross

/I don't know why Winuae reacted so violently with the compressed version

If it's repeatable signal it to Toni
