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

If unsure, try this modern tool for detecting commercial packers, installers, protectors, specialty
https://github.com/horsicq/DIE-engine/releases


Works much better than the old-generation ones.

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.

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

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.
