KRACKER JAX RAPIDLOK COPIERS
RapidLok protection has offered software publishers a very
effective means of copy protecting their software. Other copy
utility companies have released copiers for a title or two, but
because of multiple protection schemes and the extreme difficulty
in writing the copiers for those titles, they have been relatively
ineffective.
After many months of research and testing, we have developed
copiers for what we believe to be ALL existing versions of
RapidLok. Unlike our competitors, we have not only developed
individual copiers for every version of every title we could find,
but have even provided you with an extremely easy way of examining
and copying ANY RapidLok protected disk released to date (July
1987). We are confident that if you follow our instructions
carefully, YOU will easily construct a copier to archive your
particular version of a RapidLok protected disk.
In order to copy a RapidLok protected disk with our system, we
must first identify it as such. Companies such as Microprose
Accolade, Avantaqe, Avalon Hill, and Capcom are known users of
RapidLok. Others do exist and using our system will identify them.
The heart of our system is our RapidLok Scanner. With this
scanner you can not only tell if the disk in question is in fact
RapidLok, but also the variation of tracks and which version it is.
No more guessing and endless backup attempts. You are armed with
EXACT information, and that information can be plugged into a
Skeleton Copier to provide fast results.
Let's try one out. From the Utility Disk, LOAD and RUN the
RapidLok Scanner. When the program is loaded, insert any suspect
disk into the drive and press RETURN. If it is a RapidLok'ed(tm)
disk, you will see the red and green indicators fill the track
line. Last, the version number will appear. The RapidLok disk is
made up of two completely different formats. Those tracks shown as
red donuts are tracks that must be copied with a RapidLok copier
and those shown as green circles must be copied with our Nibbler.
The version number shown determines the correct RapidLok copier to
use.
After writing down all RapidLok tracks, all regular tracks and the
version number, you are ready to create your own copier. Follow
these easy steps.
1) Format a work disk. File copy from the Utility disk to your work
disk the following files: RLV0, RLV1, RLV2, RLV3, RLV4, RLV5,
RLV6, NIBBLER, and COPIER TEMPLATE.
