Forum Home Theatre Legacy : Older Systems C64PP Updates

Greetings!

New breakthroughs are afoot on the site. A great European hacker who
wished to remain anonymouse has defeated the dreaded "CYAN" protection
used in Europe on most later Sega, US Gold, Mindscape, and Gremlin
disks. It is easily identified by those who have tried to copy it by
their drive thrashing a lot, the border changing to the CYAN color,
followed by a system reset.

The protection has been disassembled and documented, and can be defeated
to run from a D64 image with a single byte patch.

Lots of new disks being archived regularly also, so a big thanks to all
kind contributors who have sent me disk and images. I still have a lot
to go through and document.

Thanks again,

Pete Rittwage
