Wonder what's up with this, it seems difficult to work around. Since, dunno if anyone ever tried before.

A message says ILLEGAL COPY and beeps whenever I turn on my computer! Yup, that's what happens to people like you. However, as that message said, you can still use your computer (after hitting space 500 times), and after doing that five times (ie. 2500 keystrokes alltogether) the program will assume that you have realized your fault, and delete your harddisk, no, no, just joking, it'll stop bothering you at that time. Additionally you are encouraged to report your actions to your local police office. Note: That happens -only- to people whom have actually stolen a registration key, not to normal registered or unregistered users. it says illegal or damaged registration key 1) ILLEGAL: if you have stolen a copy of a reg key, please buy your own key, i have put a lot of work into the program, and a few dollars shouldn't be too much, in fact it'd be worth much more. 2) DAMAGED: some mail programs somehow damage the keys, so it might frequently happen that your brandnew key doesn't work. if so, please reply to the email in which you got the key, and I'll send a new copy. I WILL REPLY TO SUCH MAILS ONLY IF YOU HAVE ACTUALLY BOUGHT A REG KEY. PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CHEAT ME: THANK YOU FOR WASTING MY TIME GO TO HELL.

Cracking the Windows version sounds like a bitch. It's compressed using a very old version of UPX, and later versions don't seem to support older compressed executables.

Anyways, decompressed the program and I got a message box with no text when I ran it. Possibly the illegal copy message that you showed.

From what I could tell from your build, the executable is likely cracked to get around the invalid/pirated key warning. Because, surely the key wouldn't start with "!" (exclamation marks) as it's clearly obvious.

Nice work for preserving this, by the way. It runs just fine under Windows 98 and DOSBox-X.

Only in 2002, you could upload ROMs to GBAtemp before they got rid of it.

For me the Key worked on versions 2.2, 2.3a and 2.4, 2.5 was updated to do not recognize «malformed» keys. :D
 
Hi everyone. I've been looking EVERYWHERE and I just cannot find NO$GMB version 2.5 with a key, or cracked to avoid the GBC time limit. This is the closest thread I could find. Does anyone have this version that could share? Thanks!

Hello @placebo_yue,
Could you please share the link again? Thank You!
 
A million thanks, @Jayro!! I've been looking for it for several years, but I found nothing that works on 2.5 DOS version, until now. A very funny place to find it after all. This is the first emulator I used in my whole life, so it has a very special place in my heart.

Thanks again.
 
@Jayro THANK YOU!!! You are my hero, my savior. I've been looking for this license for so many years!!! Thank you so much!!!

Same here @davidmorom , first emulator I've ever used, it also holds a special place in my heart. I already had the 2.1 version with the license but was searching for one that worked with the 2.5.

I'm so happy right now!

You can also find the license file in the decompilation of "Chicken Run" for the GBC over on the archive, under the email attachments. It's titled "Emulator kit". It comes with v2.4, but the license file works with 2.5 as well.

Wow!! You are the MVP!! I've been searching for years and YEARS. Thank you so much!

Maybe the resource files got corrupted in the process, if you unpacked it manually.
Happened to me before, as many slightly tamper their files, to not let it unpack by UPX -d
Anyway, I know it's a bit late, but if you wanna satisfy your curiosity... here's the message you get if you unpack:

personal opinion - :ninja:fuck UPX:ninja:: I prefer ASpack for x86, MPRESS for x64 windows stuff.

OT:
Anyway, I must stress. for only 5 bucks one time? Please register it, if you have the economics means.
Donate if you use his other emulators, or to just help a person.
In a better world, Martin would have not to struggle.
It's just proof of the concept of "meritocracy" or "sheer individualism" being bullshit. Just mental shackles put onto people, those who wield them judging from above (and shit, I remember random people insulting this dude because he was homeless. guess it's stockholm syndrome, remember that you're not at the top and it could happen to you... don't ever forget that, even if you keep doing these judging rituals to expel fear, hate and all these feelings!)

I remember that emulator. As I recall, I was able to get around the limit by doing a save state and reloading the state within 5 minutes as I played.
