These are basically new uploads but I made a new topic since as the title suggests they are all hacked. What the hack is for depends on the game. Most of them are HD hacks to disable disk checks so the game can be played entirely from a HD image.

General note: All hacks need verification. If you are planning to play one of these games I would appreciate any feedback on how the cracks etc. worked. If there's a problem or another unremoved disk check pops up post it here. If you managed to play through the whole game without any problems report it as well please.

More cracks might follow.
Anyone is free to add other cracks/hacks to this thread of course.
The password to all my archives is the usual ashura5.



魂の門
Tamashii no Mon

ImageImage

Action/Adventure game by Koei.
Crack removes HD disk check. See readme.txt in archive.

There are some issues with this game when playing with Anex (not related to the crack).
HD installed game can save to HD or to a save disk.
Save disk creation fails in Anex with I/O error.
The same I/O error occurs when you try to load a saved game from a save disk via the load menu at startup.
Save/load with save disk works properly in Anex from the ingame menu but you must use T-98 Next or NP2 to create a save disk.

魔京伝
Makyouden

ImageImage

3D adventure game by Nihon Create.

Crack removes HD disk check. See readme.txt in archive.
Very easy to remove. Might have already been removed by some filers.
If your HD installed game doesn't have a disk check at startup you can ignore this one.

CAL III

ImageImage

Adult adventure game by Birdy Soft.

Crack removes HD disk check. See readme.txt in archive.
I've also repaired Disk A, so you can play with FD too.

There are 2 issues with this game:
1. If you play with FD in Anex you will often get disk change messages for disks that are already in the drive (typical Anex problem).
Just reinsert the disks and they will be recognized.
2. If you play with FD in T-98 Next you must convert Disk A to d88 or nfd format.
Disk A is over-tracked and for reasons I don't know T-98 Next rejects fdi images that are not standard size.

To avoid any of these problems just use the hdi image.

まじかるぼーど
Magical Board

Image
Image
Image

Strategy / board game by R-Rate.
This one was unemulated because of the palette driver complaining about a strange screen mode.
I simply made the driver shut up and stay resident so the main program has all the interrupts it needs.
Judging by the output from the driver there was not really a problem in the first place anyway.
With this patch the game works in NP2 but not in the other emulators.
In Anex it freezes after the "Stage 1" screen.
In T-98 Next the palette driver just hangs.
I don't know what the problem is in this case since Turbo Debugger doesn't like T-98 Next.

Ashura, are you God?

can I build you a shrine with non-working 3.5 floppy disks?

EDIT: I have about 30. I thought I had more. I'm so sad...

Good heavens, Tamashii no Mon and that Branmarker 2 I was looking for already installed to HD. I think I'll join you gentlemen in constructing that shrine.

And this forum has seen such a recent explosion in activity!

Lol, thank you.

Before you waste your disks on a shrine please keep in mind that this stuff still needs testing and verification. It could well be that I screwed up somewhere without knowing. At least the readme files in the archives tell you what to do to reverse the cracks if it turns out it causes troubles.

I'm very impressed.

Now I have to restrain the urge to send you all the non-working images I have.

I just found out that I don't have any of the files uploaded in this thread. (Remembers HD crash) And now the links are dead. Can someone please reupload? Make sure you have the cracked versions before doing so. Thanks in advance!

I would like to second this request. I would really like a cracked HD version of Tamashii no Mon as the version I have is on .d88s.

All links renewed. (Archive sizes might be slightly different now.)
Notes on each game are still valid.
And remember that none of these cracks have been confirmed yet.
