Fast Hack’em

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

Elite V4.0

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?
