Help!Found Holy Grail of Amiga Software NEEDS DONGLE!
« on: April 07, 2012, 02:07:09 AM »
Hey guys

So after years and years and years (over 15) of searching I finally found it!

MANDALA for amiga! I bought an a500 from a guy and it was with the software. NO DONGLE though and it doesnt work without  it.

I remember a friend from the New Orleans Amiga Club that created hacked Scala dongles is there a way to do this for Mandala?

Or is there a way to Crack it so it goes past the dongle protection? (the company is long out of business over 20 years so its abandonware)

Please any help is appreciated. I've spent almost half my life looking for this software for the LIVE! board by Asquared..

HI piru

Thanks for the link, hope thats the right application. The one i'm looking for is Mandala for the LIVE! 2000 board that was used with a camera for motion capturing and hot spot triggers. Well I for one dont love piracy (except the ARGGHHH kind)

on a side note, for technical knowledge how do they do it? Hex editors?

Interesting. Thanks for the links..

its funny in the good Amiga times in the 90s in the usa there wasnt a lot of piracy. I think most of the piracy was in europe. Most of the amiga clubs I used to be a part of really frowned on copying.

well I do admit when I was in high school there was  few times with a group of friends we would pool money and buy a guy and make a couple of copies..but we were dead broke and at least we bought a lot of games.
