PowerCopy Pro

Supamax · 01 May 2011, 17:42

For Galahad/StingRay/anybody has the time and will to do it...

Hi mates

,
could you find some time to deeply analyze PowerCopy Pro, and possibly create a fully cracked version?
I remember that Galahad and StingRay partially overcame some protections (but not all of them)...
It would be sooo great to have a 100% working latest version!

StingRay · 01 May 2011, 17:48

I already spent quite a bit of time on that one, will finish it one day. Protection is quite good so it's not too easy to do a 100% crack.

What advantages has this software over X-Copy?

dlfrsilver · 02 May 2011, 12:37

ALL advantages, everything. Being able to copy multi-syncworded MFM format games ; the standard ability to copy truely The RNC copylock protection better than any other software.
also the ability to create disk images (very cool for making images on amiga first, then zip and decompress them back under winuae for extended ADf creation. the only limit for copying disk is the ability of your disk drive in write length.

X-copy is very rudimentary aside Powercopy. Powercopy is the über top in disk copy.
Most extended ADF i put in the zone were made with powercopy for example.....

I also remember Geoff Lohere offering to strip the protection for some amount donated. At the time he asked for this he was very ill and needed the money so... I am here and happy to donate some bucks... Who's next?

dlfrsilver · 03 May 2011, 12:52

he was asking 10000 bucks. that's way above everyone here can give

ROTFL.

For 10k someone could as well completely recode PowerCopy from scratch. Anyway, I'm currently working on PowerCopy again, I have several ideas how to beat the protection, just a matter of trying them (and creating the required code).

Go, StingRay, Go!!!

StingRay · 04 May 2011, 10:07

I have attached a version of PowerCopy cracked by yours truly.

It works OK for me but if you encounter any problems let me know. Have fun.

Nice work

dlfrsilver · 04 May 2011, 18:32

I'll test it ASAP !!!

EDIT : it works great indeed !!! The test with twinworld has proved right. Now even people who have copy protected disk and modified will be able to create extended ADF
of their games if required, and each of my own ADF and own parameters can be now put online

Respect!

dlfrsilver · 04 May 2011, 20:12

Yes i think that now we should sent big big greets and thanks to Stingray, because it's really cool of him to make this release for us !!!

Wiking67 · 04 May 2011, 20:16

Nice one

fryguy · 04 May 2011, 20:57

Cool! But i suppose it requires hardware too?

kipper2k · 04 May 2011, 21:06

Does this require a dongle like xcopy ?

Nope, it works without hardware too. Otherwise I would not have bothered cracking it.

He isn't, he is from Australia.

Another reason to worship at the altar of StingRay

@dlfrsilver
Have you peeked at the contents of your Powercopy cart? Most likely a dump protected IC?

dlfrsilver · 04 May 2011, 22:14

The chips inside the powercopy dongle are scratched on top, meaning that only with my disoldering gun i would then be able to test and find what they are with my WELLON VP-490 eprom reader/burner.

But for the moment i need to find a way to display my crackdown sega system 24 arcade board on a TV (it use 24khz screen refresh and the TV and supergun use 15khz so i guess a RGB downgrader maybe :P)

I will post piccies of the dongle board and try to read the chips... who knows

EDIT : Note also that powercopy is natively copying from disk to disk ANY game using RNC Copylock, just try it with a game protected with one of it like Rick dangerous, R-type 2, Rainbow Islands, hop 2 fingers in the nose !

Note 2 : the RNC copylock copying doesn't work in disk imaging on hard drive mode.

Note 3 : Plenty of very nice games zoned ready to be copied back with powercopy
