Claims a nice 99.9% Effective! 3 Minutes Copy, Copies Bit by Bit.
Programmed in 100% machine language, writes errors, more.
Sounds great, but I never used this program and can not find a copy.
The credits show three people including Jim Drew!
The other two are Steve Bern and Darryl Millard.
My copy of the program freezes at the image below!
Fast Hack’em by Mike J. Henry – From the Programmer of Di-SECTOR
I would say this program and Maverick where the two best software only copy programs out for the C64. This software had many versions/updates. I have seen versions from 1.1 to 9.5a. Famous for being able to copy many of the hard programs. Included a very good “nibbler” program that used Parameters to tell the nibbler how to copy or remove protection from certain titles.
The Version 4.5A menu looks the SAME as version 3.2A
DOWNLOAD the last version here: Fast-Hackem-v9.5
Came out around 1989. This contained 250 parameters to ‘fix’ copies to work.
In another word,to remove the copy protection checks. This ad also contained the Original Parameter Cross-Reference guide for $19.95. This is an amazing list of games and what copies them. Here’s a link to the PDF of them. Very interesting reading!
It doesn’t say it in this ad, but this was a Kracker Jax product.
States that it is able to back-up the toughest protected tites on the market (1988). There are also a few parameters in the program, but not many. Here is a screen shot from a .D64 file I found. Also see: https://www.c64copyprotection.com/kracker-jax-elite-v2
DittoDisk 64
This was another 1984 software program.
The ad expresses that a notable attribute of this copy program is its lack of a larger manual. There is no menus – the screen just prompt you what to do.
That is interested, but not sure how well that went over. Did anyone reading this use this software? How was it?
Ditto was a 1984 release.
Claims to copy 99% of current titles
And takes just 25 minutes!
This was written in BASIC and compiled with PET SPEED.
Copy Protection info for this disk: If you try to load single backup or dual backup, the program reading a while at track 22 than at track 18 and makes a reset.
Tested on winvice v3.2. As far as I know, the seq-file is part of the copy protection copy protection. credits: Stephan Andres
