=[MADMAX/MHI THE RECRACKER]=================================================== -[What's this?]--------------------------------------------------------------- Arnold FTP contained at least 181 MadMax/MHI "cracks", most of them are known to be recracks, which means that he only removed original crackintros and modified text in the trainer menu, claiming he has done the whole work. Here is a list of the filenames of his recracks, and from which group's release he has done the lame recracks. -[Note]----------------------------------------------------------------------- The cracks are confirmed by unpacking main files & byte compares of levelfiles from the releases I have collected from a lot of known sites. Some of the MHI recracks on Arnold have the real crack aswell in the same dir. -[Confirmed Recracks]--------------------------------------------------------- "1943.Capcom.+5hp-MHI.zip" = Chromance+AFL "1944..+1-MHI.zip" = MadonnaCrackingGroup "1985.Mastertronic.+3pdh-MHI.zip" = Cyberpunx , dox/game selectable, the rest identical, claims original supplied by RADWAR(!) "Acro_Jet.Microprose.MHI.zip" Cyberpunx (confirmed by Fungus/N0S^ex-CPX) "Adidas_Championship_Football.Ocean.MHI.zip" = Dominators+Exodus (file "C" has been corrected(?), a message "TAPE ERROR" changed to "DISK ERROR" and a 1 changed to 8) "Apache_Strike.Activision.MHI.zip" = Triangle 3532 "Baal.Psygnosis.+9-MHI.zip" = Transcom (he added a titlepic) "Baby_Jack.Double_Density.+M-MHI.zip" = Paramount "Bad_Dudes.Imagine.+4-MHI.zip" = Triangle (Dragonninja) "Bedlam..+4dp-MHI.zip" = Remember (he surely can't do a proper onefile so made a selector for dox+pic which reloads the file at end) "Burago_Rally.576_Kbyte.+4-MHI.zip" = Onslaught (+doc viewer very similar to CPX/REM ones) "Dave_Speed_and_Mutants.Digital_Brain.+3-MHI.zip" = Hitmen (confirmed also by 6r6/N0S) "Fight_for_Thurn.Taurus_Soft.MHI.zip" = F4CG+Avantgarde (confirmed also by 6r6/N0S) "Firelord.Hewson.+6-MHI.zip" = Remember "ln3mhi.zip" = Fairlight (+ dox from somewhere else for sure) "MENACE.MHI.txt" = Hokutoforce + doxviewer by Remember (confirmed also by Overkiller/HF and JA/REM) Menace.MHI.zip can't be found anywhere but it's confirmed by Overkiller/HF and Fabrizio Gennari who first discovered the recrack on Arnold FTP few days after the HF release, and thus removed the MHI recrack. "Metalwars.Inorix.MHI.zip" = Bros "Wings_of_Fury.Broderbund.+4f-MHI.zip" = NEC (import by Ikari+Talent) (confirmed also by 6r6/N0S)(file "BI" contained a Ikari+talent message, modified with a greeting list) =MORE TO BE CHECKED= added and confirmed by WreG Skyfox 1 (1985)(Electronic Arts)[h (19xx)(Eagle Soft)][h (19xx)(MHI)] Skyfox 2 (1987)(Electronic Arts)[h (1987-12-07)(Eagle Soft)][h (19xx)(MHI)] Skyfox 1 (1985)(Electronic Arts)[h (19xx)(Eagle Soft)][h (19xx)(Cumbria Cracking Service)] Skate or Die (1987)(Electronic Arts)[h (1987-10-22)(Eagle Soft)](Side A)[h (19xx)(MHI)] Pub Games (1986)(Alligata Software)[h (1986-10-07)(Radwar)][h (19xx)(MHI)] Mask 1 (1987)(Gremlin Graphics)[t+2 (1987-10-22)(Hotline)][h (19xx)(MHI)] Staff of Karnath (1984)(Ultimate)[h (1984)(ECS)][h (19xx)(MHI)] Ticket to Paris (1986)(Blue Lion Software)[h (1987-03-28)(Eagle Soft Inc)](Side A)[h (19xx)(MHI)] Xenomorph (1990)(Pandora)[h (19xx)(Paramount)][h (19xx)(MHI)](Side A-C) Impossible Mission 2 (1988)(Epyx)[h (1989-01)(Scatha the Worm)][t+4 (1988)(MHI)] Last Ninja 3 (1991)(System 3)[t+3 (1991)(Fairlight)](Side A)[t+4 (1991)(MHI)] (1 trainer added!)
