working AREX crack

somehow i stumbled about Arex [lightpen] when looking for some more stuff to add to my list of things that support lightpen/gun... however this one doesnt really work (same for the one in gamebase, likely the same thing). if you look at youtube videos you'll see that eg in the title screen the enemy things should move all the time, not only when holding down some key(s) :) also the game itself doesnt work at all (if you somehow manage to start it, by using f-keys and other keys together...). just took a quick peek at the memory, looks like a screwed up freeze to me. oh well. just curious :=)

I don't remember how I sent it to Groepaz, but he might still have it.

tested with vice3.x + AR MKVI:
load the game any way you want (RAP crack).

any joy 2 input skips the cracktro and gets to the game menu

wait in the main game screen until the hand pointing at the options comes up (or press any f key except f7, which seems to move the creatures around the logo in gpz's freezed version)
then press f7 to start the game

will only get beyond player 1 message if you change $39a7 from #$D0 to #$A9

lightpen in vice seems to do nothing, though.

this game looks really interesting. nice sounds and gfx.

hitmen.c02.at/temp/arex.zip is all i have (contains 2 or 3 different versions) - i don't remember what is what though.

I do remember though that you have to follow the instructions *exactly* - ie read the earlier posts in this thread :=)

Thanks for the zip! Yes, the version with the arex.boot on the Arex.d64 works without problems. arex.boot is a basic loader that patches $2683 . After i saw a longplay of the game and read the docs, it is actually pretty decent. Surely could use a overhauled release.

Thx for the zip file.

The d64 with the boot file is the working one šŸ‘šŸ¼
