Clean OIDS needed

[ppera]

I can find only vers. spoiled by Was not was - he did put his name in several places in game
Some decent image needed...

It's VERY HEAVILY copy protected. Much like Dungeon Master.

I have it here, and can only image it using a HCDC (Happy Computers Discovery Cart). You'll need one to re-create it.

The other issue is that it used to save it's high score tables straight to the disc, so almost all original copies out there are spoiled.

Even DBug have said this one will be tricky to HD/Falcon patch (although that was before ULS3 came out). Shame, because it is a truly great game.

Aly, I don't need protection part - if it is same or similar as by Dungeon Master you may just make regular ST image of OIDS.
I need only some files from, and copy protection is not in them if is so... So, please make ST image - for instance with FloImg. it will report CRC error on first track if there is DM style protection...
Highscore tables are not real problem - there is some space on original for them, and as game works via TOS, saving scores will not delete anything.

Please, gimme a break with ULS and D-Bug. There is a lot of titles for which ULS is not good (OIDS too). Actually, I made OIDS already runnable from hard disk. Just want to see/use what is written from authors and not some pyrate footprints. On Falcon works not, and I don't care much about it. I let it to buggers to do

I'll do it later on one of my super duper 486 IBM machine.

I think I replied in the wrong thread before....


Mug transferred his original for me over 2 years ago when I was working on a trainer....here's the old thread (the link still works):-

I'd forgotten I'd done that

Thanx Pugsy. It is usable and 'clean' image.
Spoil is not of course some gamesave on original but idiotic putting of it's name in game to several places from cracker.
