Decoding Amiga Football Manager: World Cup Edition (Rob Northen Copylock)

Decoding the Amiga version of Football Manager: World Cup Edition

In this example we will decode the copylock from the game Football Manager: World Cup Edition (c) 1990 Addictive. To decode it, you will need Workbench 2+, a 68020 or higher, reqtools.library and the original disk!

Copylock Decoder Guide

After installing Copylock Decoder, run the program by typing CopylockDecoder into a CLI/Shell.
An information screen will appear. Press OK to continue.
You will now be prompted to choose the copylock program to load. For World Cup Football Manager, the game loads the file wcfm. Select the file and press OK.
You are now prompted to enter the copylock key for the later types of copylocks. Press OK to skip it.
We have the original game disk, so select $89?? when asked for the sync.
Ensure the original disk is in the drive and hit OK.
When asked which value for D3 to use, just say 0.
The drive will now be accessed and the copylock decoded. This process is sometimes very slow so allow about 10-20 seconds for it to work.
You will now be asked where you want to save the decoded files to. In this case I have chosen to save the file to Ram:
You will now be shown the registers used to decode the file. Unless you are a cracker yourself, do not worry about these numbers!
Congratulations, the decode is complete!
Now that the game is decoded, you should have 3 files in Ram. In this case, wcfm.dec, wcfm.exe and wcfm.reg. Pack these files up and send them to the WHDLoad installer for them to write the patch!

I will present the source to crack this game at a later date!
