Re: 20 years of trying...
Oh I remember that well.
First thing was I lived close enough to Commodore I could pedal my bike there if I desired to return a drive that lost alignment.
Second thing was how easy it was to crack. Just insert the error code into the program!
Believe me it wasn't my intention to crack, but for the life of my 1541 I was forced to.
I did learn assembler and Hex coding for that CPU so it wasn't all a loss. Radio Shack did a good business selling Binary/Hex/Base10 calculators
All of us ended up buying those soft stops for our drives and bought the speed and head alignment discs.
I don't even play games anymore, but I feel for those of you who are dealing with this garbage.
The crackers will get busy and beat this quickly.
The fact that it does screw your system will speed the process and hasten the distribution of circumvention.
It's very bad for a software company to make your end users start hating you. It makes pirates out of consumers who would normally pay for your product. |

I have a feeling that it's going to move beyond games in the near future, if it hasn't already.

Brings back fond memories. The days of cracking C64 games. Things were so much simpler back then. |
