As BurstNibbler is a copy program its use is limited in an emulated environment. It only gets useful again if running from a real floppy disk on a real C64/C128 system. To accomplish this in an easy way it is necessary to recreate the data layout for the copy protection from a simple D64 image that can be written with standard tools.

Source 1

See tools section for G64Conv template file required for copy protection reconstruction using the D64 images as source.

File:Bnib15.d64
From original of markusC64.

File:Bnib17.d64

File:Bnib18.reconstructed-from-bn15.d64

File:Bnib19.d64


From Datel source stream:
File:Datelutil.d64

File:Datelutil2.d64

Streams

File:Burstnibbler 1.9 Streams dsw.zip
Analysis: Stream contains a cracked version


File:Burstnibbler 1.9 Streams eurosystems 1987.zip
Analysis: Stream contains a cracked version


File:Burstnibbler 1.9 Streams eurosystems 1988.zip
Analysis: Stream contains actually BurstNibbler 1.8


File:Burstnibbler 1.9 Streams octagon.zip
Analysis: Stream contains a cracked version


File:BurstNibbler18 Streams Datel sncboom2k.zip
Analysis: Sectors on track 10 seem to have read errors (conversion with dtc.exe)

Tools

Template file for G64Conv to convert a D64 BurstNibbler image to a G64 image. The copy protection is reconstructed by applying the template file.

File:Bnib-ultimate.txt

Example command to apply template: g64conv bnib-ultimate.txt bnib18.g64 bnib18.reconstructed-from-bn15.d64

Track 10 for reconstruction was taken from BurstNibbler 1.5 source.
