Bad Dudes - Dragon Ninja on USA machines

[tjlazer]

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!

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.

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.

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 ?

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 .
