Spy Hunter with unaltered title screen

[Atari Nut]

Does anyone have an .atr, .xex, or .com of Sega's Spy Hunter with an unaltered title screen? The only ones I find have the original text replaced with "cracked" text.

[SS]

I have the unaltered version in .CAR, .ROM, and .BIN formats. My .ATR, .XEX, and .COM format files all have the cracked screen title text.

[Wrathchild]

A different format, but the ATX is here

 

Doesn't look to have been done as part of the Straight cracks from Farb's ATX-Torrent thread to-date though.

Try this;

 

Spy Hunter (1984)(Sega).xex

The Straight cracks are great. I hope he continues them.

 

Thanks FULS, it works. How did you do it? Did you just modify an .xex and change the cracked text back?

 

By any chance do you have a clean SEGA Super Zaxxon .atr or .xex?

There's no altering by us or anyone, in fact its the opposite, people get the software and either remove the protection only or simply make an image that will run, in the old days people loved to leave a message on the disk but nowadays we want the games to be as close as possible to how they were released in the shop so no more silly crack screens and the like.

I hadn't arrived at publisher Sega yet ...

We still need Buck Rogers and Star Trek...and any other Sega titles left out. Thanks for these above! I have Star Trek on cartridge, so I'm personally not concerned.

What are we considering cracks?

You can always "dump" the cartridge or disk to an ATR (or other format) as needed. I love using AtariMax's cartridge dump hardware.

I would think to actually "crack" a game you'd need to decomplie it, alter, then recompile, which is possible.

[Mclaneinc]

A crack is where the protection is either fully removed or bypassed, there's no need for compiling as most is done directly to an image with a machine code monitor, now with programs like Altirra with its superb debugging tool box its even easier to do it as long as you know your coding and protection styles.

Thanks for these.

I was too sloppy with Super Zaxxon; it crashes when going in-game.

 

2nd try.

Homesoft's Spy Hunter xex doesn't flash screen on load:

Homesoft xex are often the best ones.

Thanks everyone. Keep up the good work!
