 Hi Dilwyn, Thierry Godefroys ATAPI CD drivers and QCDEZE should do it. I had 
an Aurora & Qubide system when I wrote it am fairly sure that I tested it on 
that system as well.

Subject: [Ql-Users] Qubide 2 and CDs










I'm aware Qubide version 2 can have an Atapi IDE CD-ROM drive connected and a 
version of Discover exists to read some CDs.

Does anyone know if a QXL.WIN CD can be read on such a system and if so what 
software might be required (e.g. QCDEZE)?

[Ql-Users] QL HyperDrive microdrive broken

2009-06-08 Thread Juanjo Ruiz

Hi,
I have QL HyperDrive in microdrive. The microdrive cartridge has become
useless because the tape has been wrapped in the white roller. Does
anybody know how to repair it? (I remember when I used to fix music
cassettes).

Thanks in advance

Re: [Ql-Users] Commercial game copy protection mechanisms

2009-06-08 Thread Neil Riley
I do seem to remember that Talents "Lost Kingdon Of Zkul" and "West" 
were simple to 
crack. I remember myself and a friend cracked it in college, it took no
programming
at all, just a simple trick before copying the MDV. something to do
with creating a
blank file name...hmmm 24years have eroded my memory, Bad sector or two
i suspect, lol!

It's just a starting point. As somebody who has written and cracked a
gazilion copy protections and eben briefly entertained the idea of
writing a book on the subject, I can say that it is a hundred times
more difficult to write a copy protection than it is to break it.
There's always a way.
