ALIEN MIND COPYING Well I finally figured out how to copy Alien Mind with Copy II Plus. I've played the first two levels with the copy and it seems to work O.K. I haven't tried copying disk 2 yet, but I looked at the code and all the read routines are the same. The Address marks were changed from: D5 AA 96 to D5 AA AA Pretty easy huh? The following are the parameters you need to change: Parameter New Value Result ----------- ----------- -------- 10 AA New Address Mark 12 00 Clear old one??? 55 03 Do Header check 02 40 Helps w/ track length 0B 02 Nibble edit at copy time Now do a complete copy (tracks 0-4F). Keep track of all reads that don't have D5 AA AA (write down track number). Re-try all the tracks that didn't have the address marks correct. I only got five, but it varied from track to track each time I copied. This is a pain, but it is the only way I knew to do it. Anybody else got any ideas? Well at least I have a back-up now!!! I am also working on cracking the program. It's a toughy though. I found all the read and write routines. I guess these could be rewritten to use smartport calls and the disk reformatted standardly. I'm not sure. I found a neat way to use the GS debugger on it though, but I don't want to give away any secrets! How close is anyone else. Leave me mail on Trebors Castle (#97) or Chemical Wasteland (#43). 10" Disk ( or PiratePerfect ) P.S. Isn't level five a bitch!
