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

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

[sparklot]

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.

[vintagecdromgirl]

okay, hopefully someone does soon

do you know if Balamory has copy-protection?

[sparklot]

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

right, thanks for letting me know

[vintagecdromgirl]

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.
