Lotus Turbo Challenge II - HD installable version/patch

[woody.cool]

Hi all,

Does a HD installable version or a patch exist of Lotus Turbo II?
I have a cracked version on floppy, but I think it tries to access the files from the floppy.
I'm looking for a version that will run from hard drive, from anywhere I choose to put it!
Has anyone got such a version? or know of where I can get it?

Thanks

Have you tried using PPera's image runner?

You could always register over at DBug's forums and ask them politely to patch it for their ULS. They say that they work to their 'own agenda' but have taken requests into account occasionally.

Or you could learn machine code and crack it yourself.

That might be the best option, to be honest!

Hmm! I might do so actually. This could prove useful.

Not an option at this time .... I'm very busy with work commitments and don't have the time to put in to something like this.
However, maybe at a later date, this might be an option.

As I tried, Lotus will not work with Floppy Image Runner - it uses direct floppy access.
Try with D-Bug.
Cracking is not exactly same as making game hard disk installable/runnable - what may be sometimes pretty time consuming, even if using existing crack as base. Lotus is already cracked, but in 'floppy times'.
Btw. maybe Lotus 3 is runnable from hard disk - I see that it is on Superior 122, and they used to make games hard disk runnable on menu disks after #100...
