There's a 100% UNcracked version, that's as original as it can be (SPS). Does that help?
What's wrong with the available cracks? |

Besides the protection, it seems that the game doesn't run too good on kick 1.3 IIRC
I remember it as a tough whdload fix because of the protection AND the kick 1.3 incompatibility at some point. |

SPS/Archon - The Light and the Dark (1989)(Electronic Arts)[compilation The Archon Collection][2779] are Galahad, Stingray, Ross or any other crack elders here around to better check? |

In the zone......
Guessing this is a different protection from the first version, and this one appears to work on all Kickstarts as well. Copy protection, was....... well, if it didn't have all the labels so it could be perfectly resourced, it might have been quite competent!! Seems to work fine. Any problems, yell in my general direction. Last edited by Galahad/FLT; 01 April 2022 at 20:22. |

Thanks a mil Galahad, now I feel really small compared to you!
In my configuration I've some white color added when the bobs are moving, on, the mouse pointer and some weapons. Not sure why, I tried without cache, original chipset but it still there. https://ibb.co/RSPt9gC https://ibb.co/ZgbM92J Thanks a mil for the version, now please do Adept |

Other than that, nothing I did could affect the graphics. |

is there a similar version of Adept? Didn't knew a standard disk version (files) existed that worked on all OSes.

So it seems the updated compilation versions of Archon and Archon II are both revised, working on all kickstarts, so now both games are cracked and should work no problems. |

the first new adf is perfect, very interesting how it 'adapts' to the vary configurations; tested on 500, 500+ and 1200 (one match each) was trying the second (ipf), and yes, seems the same so, a decent copy protection, finally ? |

Same crack applied to Archon II, first one took 15 minutes to crack, made easier by the fact all the labels were still in the code so all the important stuff resourced perfectly, very easy to follow what was going on in the code and then knock out the protection and the attempts later on to recheck two more times. Second game took 2 minutes to apply the 3 patches needed, and it worked first time. I'm guessing the earlier ones were considerably harder than this, but these updated versions took no effort at all. |

I thought it was protection but good to know it is, do you think that reading the tracks and saving them to a file will work?

I've ripped both games in an attempt to fit on one disk and its currently using AmigaDOS file loading and the custom format is ripped and stored in memory. A few bugs to iron out, but assuming enough memory, will also install on hard drive |
