Crack\Trainer Bounty: Mail Order Monsters for C64
There has never been a good crack with trainer for Mail Order Monsters. I am offering a Crack\Trainer Bounty for the first modern cracking group to do this along with of course the prestige. I put the call out to Remembers, Nostalgia, Hokuto Force and Onslaught to take the challenge... Original with docs can be provided if necessary. The bounty will be $250 US Dollars payable to the winner or donated to whomever the winner would like. If multiple versions are done by different groups... the best rated one on CSDB wins the bounty. Submissions will be open until March 2012.
The Crack \ Trainer has to meet the following criteria:
100% Copy Protection Removed
PAL\NTSC Fixed
Docs
Money Trainer for max money (psychons) and option for unlimited money (everything free).
Energy Trainer so that energy is maxed and option for unlimited\frozen
Food Trainer so that Food is maxed and option for unlimited\frozen
Rounds (Ammo) Trainer so that ammo is maxed and option for unlimited\frozen
Life Trainer so that life is maxed and option for Inviulnerability\Freeze life value
Here is some info to get started with:
When playing jump into the monitor and add the following code:
AT $B000
$b000 LDA #$FF
$b002 STA $0D10
$b005 JSR $7990
$b008 RTS
AT $8488
$8488 JSR $B000
This does a brute force energy reset to 255 during the game for all monsters.
Not quite elegant, I know, but this might help you out.
Haven't tested it thoroughly and it might fail later on in the game.
The magic address is $0d10 so that could help some other guys doing a proper trainer for the game =)
Thanks and Good Luck.

All Thanks for the interest... The winner will be judged by highest rating here on CSDB. When a release is made, I'll post a link on lemon 64 and link back to your release on CSDB (or you guys could do it.). The best rated release on CSDB will claim the bounty. That is correct there is a .nib file in Gamebase for mail order monsters, if you guys want to use that as your source. I will also loan originals if necessary. I will publicly announce who I am loaning originals to. I am trusting those folks to send them back to me by the March 2012 deadline. If you are requesting originals I will need your address, I have two sets that I can loan. One set is up for grabs. The other set is resrved for and preference will be given to Remembers, Nostalgia, Hokuto and Onslaught, whomever from these 4 groups requests this first. If none of the 4 groups request an original set. I will consider making that one avialable for others. I am hoping this generate multiple releases by multiple groups like the good old days and we'll see who does it best. |

Judging by the highest rating here on the CSDb might not be the way to go. You should stick with your personal rubric (for a whole host of reasons).

The best rated release on CSDB will claim the bounty. Anonymous voters included? No way! |

"Best rated here" is indeed troublesome.
Why not simply "the one I like the most"?
Seriously. |

Yeah, relying on the votes here isn't the best option. That sort of thing would work if the vote data was public information, but with the current anon system in place too many downvotes would spoil things.

Hmmm... you have a point, i forgot about anon voters here... Just trying to be democratic about the judging... Maybe I'll assemble a panel with me included, andrew who wrote the C64 games book, my contact at retro gamer magazine and another person or two... what do you guys think of that? I want this to be fair to all versions submitted not just based on my only opinion. I think a minimum of 3 judges would make it fair. |

@trip6: even if there is no perfect solution, there is always a best.
imho, best solution is to create your own online voting webpage using public voting system. maybe you can try to make a little authentication system integration with CSDB by talking to the admins or you may approve sing up requests manually asking csdb id and e-mail information.
in short, you can make your own voting system, only allowed to CSDB accounts, but certianly with public votes. |
