Dang, I remember playing this way back in the day. I thought it was also content-limited, as well as time-limited. Hmm.
Anyway, I'm having the same trouble with emulation, getting an error 35, "volume doesn't exist." When I tried running it from the shared Unix drive, it crashed the system with an error 10 (I think it was 10.) Dang.
As far as I can tell (which isn't very far), the game doesn't seem to want to work in an emulated environment; it seems to be searching for a disk of some kind that isn't there.
How exactly would one go about hacking this game open?
I seem to be having a problem with this game. Instead of the game booting up at all, I simply get a -35 error. Is this a problem with my setup or is it a problem with the file?
First, trash your copy of Lunar Commando. When this is done, download Lunar Commando again from
Macintosh Garden and put the unopened zip file on a diskette. ALWAYS keep this file unopened BUT download a copy of the unopened file onto your Mac and the one on your Mac is the one you play...
Once your thirty days are expired, make a copy of the unopened file from your master Lunar Commando diskette and repeat. You can do this every thirty days forever because the time on the game doesn't start until it is opened! Macintosh Garden is AWESOME!!!
Can you do that even if the game has already expired once? I installed the copy on this page last night, but it remembered that I had used up the trial period years ago and wouldn't play. There's no obvious sign of anything Lunar Commando or Smokin Software-related anywhere on the system.
You can copy the original downloaded file onto an external flash drive or diskette and duplicate it
on your computer every thirty days. This only takes a few minutes and the game is good forever.
Lunar Commando is extremely addicting!
This is a time-limited demo, which refuses to open at all once it expires. The author stopped accepting registrations years ago, to the disappointment of many. Due to the odd registration system, which generates a "challenge" code unique to each computer, it will probably need to be hacked open. Volunteers?

Error -35 :
-35 nsvErr No such volume; volume not found
It seems the game is searching for a disk it doesn"t found.
Maybe the install / play disk must be inserted for the game to work ?
