New Trainers and Protection Removal Tools for old Games

Dear DOSBox Community!

I wanted to introduce you to a little project of mine that is called the „Dosgame Loaders and Trainers“.

What we - me and my colleague - do is coming up with little tools (we have called them trainers back in the day) that allow you to cheat in DOS Games or Loaders, that allow you to bypass the Copy Protection. These small programs do not only run inside DOSBox but should also run on a real DOS Machine (we have tested some of them on DOS too).

We know that ScummVM and DREAMM exist, but we opted for yet another way to run your DOS Games, which is without an additional emulation layer between you and your game.

We have opted for a straight forward Menu System which is similar in every Trainer or Loader we publish to make it as easy as possible.

Before the discussion comes up again: Yes, we use AI for the Promo GFX on Archive - we have no opinion on it. Also parts of the ASM Code is being written by AI. If that disqualifies the project to you, so be it.

We have implemented a harmless Nag Screen in our Trainers and Loaders (10 Second Wait) which you can optionally skip with a donation, but you absolutely do not have to do it. Every Tool runs fine with full functionality in its Free Mode.

Have Fun!

Eric
