Release id #47904 : Joe Gunn Preview

Now what was the fucking idea with releasing this? Showing your packer using, cruncher and introlinking skills? Triad was the name for quality for me. Now Triad equals a bunch of fucking lamers not being able to do anything but put intros in front of non protected games, games that are not even finished, games that are made for fun, and for free. You didnt even needed a first supplier, just downloaded it added an intro... for what fucking reason?

Stop being lame and releasing shite under the triad label.

This is the first round of my cracking compo. The first round isn't something outstanding.
It just check some of your basic skills as a cracker namely:
a) multi file games cracking
b) level packing
c) password protection removing

In this dir, you have a 4 .d64's with 4 disk sides of F-14. Your task is simple
a) do a 2 sides version of it
b) only exception is that you can have a one file starter on the 3rd site i.e. you load it, put
the 1st side of the game in drive and run it. and you can not load anything from that 3rd side.
c) the password protection should be removed completely
d) a fastloader will be a plus!

Good luck.

i am not 100% sure about the track but people have told me that they played the game and completed it, maybe what you see is a part of the scary copy protection?

Quote: when you talk about uncracked games there is one that comes to mind, portal. no one have been abel to crack this and the game are from 1986. as it is now it is only playable with an emulator, this is a shame becouse it is a mind blowing game that should be enjoyed on the real thing. and that by more than only the few people that own the orginal game. playing c64 games with winvice dont feel rigth...

you find the uncracked game here in g64 format with the protection and all...

http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=5836&d=18&h=0

are anyone up for the challenge? who will be the first? many have claimed its impossible, it cant be done or runned away in fear when they have seen the protection. so here you have a chance to prov your skills and make the introlinking worthy of your crack...


Im not sure its uncracked, but I need to do some more research here.

I seem to remember that I actually played this game, although only a very small bit of it. Reminded me a bit of Alter Ego in some aspects.

Actually it turns out I didn't consider the sector data wrapping around from the end of the track to the beginning in my g64 analyzer. :P
All sectors are readable on all disks.
The protection could consist of a signature/signatures and/or checking of the track alignment.
The directory says "KDOS $00 02APR86" maybe someone already knows who it works?

Haven't looked anything at the code, maybe it is too tedious for most people to crack?
It could potentially have an enormous amount of protection checks littered around on those 6 disks which would be quite boring to find and verify.

Looking at the disks, it could probably be remastered/copied on a c64/1541.
It seems to have extra $4a bytes between the header block and sector block on all sectors except sector 0 on each track.
Also the g64 indicates that it might depend on track skew.

it may have an enormous protection for all i know, but its a challange for the ones that are willing and can, to be the first ones to climb this mounteverest of a c64 game and plant their linkintro on it.... it may need skills, it may take weeks but this is what cracking is about, go where no man have been before! :)

no, you're wrong, as I was told by jazzcat and taper cracking is about having no effort at all, just linking intros. :P
