tjlazer Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Noticed that none of these cracks available for download or dumps work on US TOS machines. (They work when using UK TOS) I know the US version was called "Bad Dudes" Anyone have a crack or can do a fix that works on USA machines? Thanks!

Charlie_ Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I thought the great thing about the ST is that you don't have to worry too much about having the proper region computer. As long as your display can do 50/60hz the game should work? I know a few games you have to switch the machine to 50hz with an app before running the game.

tjlazer Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Yes that is true but for some reason only UK TOS let’s me run these games from the internet. I’m assuming German TOS will also work. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Yes, beside framerate there may be other restrictions. Called regional restrictions. Game checks TOS language code, and will not work with US TOS if it is intended for European market. Fix is easy. I will check my hard disk adaptation. I guess you want ST floppy image ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Made floppy version: http://atari.8bitchip.info/ASTGA/D/dragninj.php There is fix, so will work with 60 Hz refresh rate, NTSC, US TOS too. And fix for TOS 2.06, what was little harder part. And there is optional trainer with unlimited lives. It will sub life with trainer on, but will be no game over when goes to 0 . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjlazer Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Was playing this tonight and level 2 crashed the game with 2 bombs. Tried different TOS versions, no change. Even tried on STeem, etc. What could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Maybe some delayed copy protection. It is on site since 2012, and nobody reported such problem ... Will see . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zogging Hell Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The automation crack bombed out on the last boss iirc, at least when the infinite lives trainer was on on that version (I could not get anywhere near the end without it). I can get to about level 5/ 6 on the disk original without any crashes (I don't think it has ever crashed on me and I used to play it a lot as a kid). So perhaps there is extra protection in there somewhere, or perhaps there is some issue with infinite lives in the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
