Mavis Beacon C64 never cracked?

Hi guys,
I just noticed Mavis Beacon 64 (disk version) on ebay. For those who don't know, the Mavis Beacon program teaches you touch typing - pretty useful for coders and, well, anybody. I checked on CSDb to find a crack of it, and there was nothing! :O Could it really be that no one has cracked/imported/released this one (yet)?

A crack of protected software makes sense, because it makes it easier for people to copy it without hardware hacks or stuff like that.

Hm... Is the "scene" even interested in unreleased educational software?

I bet some of the active good crackers would walk on their hands to get something that needs to be actually cracked, which is hard to find these days.

Well it's uncracked on gb64.com for what's it worth.

I have the oregano in a box somewhere.... Only ever tried it once... Back In 92/3.. Was quite a good program, but made me hungry when I read the name. :/

I actually have this in .d64 format, doesn't seem to be cracked either.

I also can't get anything to load because it seems nothing is on the .d64s, perhaps archived wrong, or maybe not emulator friendly. It does, however, show disk 1 with 133 blocks free, but nothing else on the disk. I'm thinking a bad archive.

A crack would be welcome, I think. At least then I would have a working copy of a program I've never used :D

I cracked it! HEHE The code is simple! But next your woundering why GB64 has it with no MHI Intro! I never put one on it! I do alot of cracks and fixes that I don't put an intro on. As for the one at E-Bay I been looking for another version since my Side 3 locks the drive up. Well now you know their is a bug on MBTT disk! I will keep you posted if I get it and it fixes the prob. Also could then add Dox! Well more later!

I just purchased it and its on the way to my home!
I will be busy working on it so when its done I will upload it! You guys want a mhi! intro! maybe since exomizer will shrink it down! 133 blocks is not correct as it uses all of side 1 I think he found the MHI 1st release disk without the MHI boot files if you have GB64 v5 I think is the version that used my old PAL fix I used Epyx fastlink code to code link it on disk and 1 file on side 1 if its that one you will have fun as it loads just like my Pirate Slayer code (B-R) OH! those old days when I amaze and kinda crazy when I cracked it was in Hielbronn Germany and I was stationed at wharton Barracks 1989 Year did a demo at the 64er club! Lots of memories and many a Bier! Crystal Wiesen Well you guys have fun and member the ol'e days!
