 |

Surely, everyone knows Prince of Persia. The stunning hires run-and-jump game, with sword-fighting and some puzzle solving, by the author of Karateka.
The game came on two sides, entirely 18-sector tracks, and some other surprises, too. You rip the tracks to 16 sectors, make a loader and it doesn't boot.
You find a protection check, you patch it, and then it boots right into the title screen. You think that you're done, but then... no, you can't play any levels.
You find another protection check, you patch it, and then it boots into the first level. Now you're done for sure, right? No, you finish the first level, and then it resets to the title page.
You find yet another protection check, you patch it, and then it plays. Are you done yet? Maybe. ;-)
The existing cracks all made use of a third side to store the extra sectors. That's really quite lame. Finally, after 25 years, I rose to the challenge. There is now a two-side 16-sector version.
Next time, I'll show the boot process (including why the funny message on T00S0F) and the protection checks, and soon after I will discuss the custom loader that I used to fit everything in.

Excellent Peter !
I remember playing this one with 2 drives, one disk in each.
The switching access between the 2 drives reminded me a Christmas tree.

and the funny message from T0S0F:
| Code: | For further information on how to copy this product,
call Broderbund's Customer Service line at 1-415-492-3500
We here at Broderbund thank you for your support. |
The byte values of the text are used to decode the other sectors. If you change the message then it destroys the contents. Very funny. |

Next time I will cover the in-game protection. Yes, there is more.
After defeating the boot-time protection, the game reaches the title screen, plays the demo, and you can even play the first level. It looks like it works.
However... |

Ah, the source code. Such a trouble! It can build only the 3.5" version, so no copy protection (specifically, it's in the source code and is emitted in 5.25" mode, but someone deleted one line so it always fails and you can't play), and no encryption (so the funny message is absent). |

and the final protection, which runs after the first level is completed.
It begins by generating an 8-bit decryption key, which is also used as the execution address.

the special thing is this line:

This is not checked until level 7! So you play almost all of the way through the game, thinking that the protections are all solved, and then it crashes. Funny. |

Hi Peter,
Does your 16 sector version work outside emulators? It does not work on my Apple IIc, either from an SDFloppy nor from diskettes written with ADT-Pro. Could it have the same glitch that was present in the ToyShop? |

Hi Cybernesto,
It was working properly on a IIe, but still likely to be the same problem as for Toy Shop. I'll try to check that today. |
