i don't know about the generic loader, but if someone can do "cracks" for Little Robots and Yoho Ahoy it would be appreciated
and also Bill & Ben Flowerpot Fun is copy-protected too

[sparklot]

[vintagecdromgirl]

thanks, you did find bill & ben let me know if you find little robots

[vintagecdromgirl]

i'd assume BBC did use only Securom, and not some other protection system

[vintagecdromgirl]

speaking of which, i think Fimbles: Fimbly Fun doesn't have copy-protection and it actually doesn't. as i just tested it out

If unsure, try this modern tool for detecting commercial packers, installers, protectors, specialty

Works much better than the old-generation ones.

[vintagecdromgirl]

thanks for that, have you found a crack for little robots yet?

[sparklot]

No one seems to have anything (crack or ccd) for Little Robots. A few hackers from long ago know the Securom crypto routines but they're long gone into malware security jobs now.

Have to wait and keep asking.

does it? how do they work?

Balamory has a basic CD check but nothing more. Also needs Win98 compatibility mode.

is Rugrats Totally Angelica Boredom Busters copy-protected too?

[sparklot]

Game ran okay on W98 with cd inserted. It uses QuickTime 4 + Smacker so that might be a compatibility problem. If you try running without a cd, it hit me with a "please insert cd" nag.
