Dear all,

Thank you very much for these excellent games, I have my original copies of your games here, but the discs are already starting to fail.
once again thank you very much for having made such a high quality sofa.

I think that ARC is lost forever due to its copy protection

It's not lost, the protection is emulated in openMSX!

Artrag, I have contacted with a person who owns and deprotected the game and he is agreed to upload it publicily.

He didn´t before because he had not the permission from Cas.

So we should see ARC finally dumped soon (I hope so)

In the past some guys from the netherlands unprotected it too

Where is the download link? It would be nice if someone can add them to the downloads.
ARC can probably is copied in DMK format.

I think DSK would work too because copy protection is not on disk, it is a special cartridge which game uses

Ah okay, so ARC will never be freeware unless someone can remove the protection.
