I see your point, but how about this: after the program AR has been backed up to cartridge by the user, then invoke the "driver" that just overwrites some areas in memory of the flash cart. It would be extremely difficult to make this fully legal. No matter what you do you will still produce a deri...

I agree that the developer should be supported. But it’s a delicate and complicated issue. From a moral point of view, indeed it can hardly be called piracy. After all the software is widely available and as posted here it seems that the original author doesn’t mind. But selling a derivative work of...

Sorry for spoiling the unanimous poll, but I doubt I'll buy it. For some reason I never played the game. Yes, I loaded and tried it a couple of times but that's all. Again, I don't remember why I didn't play it. I liked RPG games a lot. Possibly I was more attracted by Sierra games on the ST by that...

NTSC v. PAL. My 800XL is NTSC. Do 800 carts "know" the difference? ... meaning a PAL CV cart would play fine on an NTSC television with no screen roll. The issue is different than on the VCS. Your display will never "roll". The software can't change the frame sync rate. It will always be 60 Hz or 5...

Re: disc problems etc
alternate reality the city...the discs are double sided disc 1 loads ok disc2 all i get is a grinding noise from the drive Probably it is damaged. Not fatal, again. It is like The Dungeon, only side 1 of disk 1 is copy protected. You can replace the damaged disk with another disk written with an AT...

The Dungeon is 3 disks (the City is 2). So it seems you are missing one disk. No big problem as long as you have disk 1, the copy protected one. You can easily rewrite your missing disk (disk 3) from an ATR image. Admins will be able to tell you if the ATR images here of disks 2 and 3 are the same a...

The game Fort Apocalypse I converted from disk to atr had a very simple protection. I think the most difficult to crack protections came with games from Broderbund, First Star and Datamost. Some Datasoft titles are heavily copy protected also. Andre, you are talking about a different thing. There a...

SynSoft tapes and disks have different copy protections Aha, thanks for the information. What about Databyte? Databyte had the rights for Datamost and First Star Software. Two other companies that made earlier use of advanced copy protection techniques. Furthermore. For ST games, some Databyte rele...

I also think it was too expensive for US Gold to change anything. However, I doubt Philip Price was consulted... This is more or less my point. If US Gold didn't release the source code (probably didn't) they couldn't use their own protection. And it might be too difficult/expensive for them to dup...
