002 INVISO - What Hidden Boxes?
003 WICO - Double Trouble
004 TAITO -

I'll edit the grid names in for each later on. I'm stuck on ALPHA atm. It is one difficult level!
If anyone has this game and can get past it, please post the next level password.

Damn!  That's some list!

Yes and took some SOLID hours/days of almost nonstop play to find them all. I did this back in 2004 right after its release. Was trying to be the first to pull it off but a couple other guys beat me to the punch. I had recovered the page from TAEX (which preceeded JSII and was partially the reason for JSII) I'd saved and man was I glad I had it in my archives! Would have been hell to go through that again. Although I might anyway soon enough.
I'd recently emailed Sinigord and he sent me the original .coff file he used to make the game. Oddly enough, my inquiries were based on a re-released encrypted version and he said he'd tried to encrypt it but didn't have any luck.
I ran the coff file through Reboot's JiFFi and voila, the only encrypted version of Painter on this here planet. So, of course I burned it to cd, played for an hour and by then was so frustrated at this game... again, I filed it in my collection and hit the weights to work off the anger. LOL

[TrekMD]

Well, I'm glad you went through this!  That will save me some time so I can try out some of the upper levels. 

[Shadowrunner]

Great job Saturn! I've never seen half the levels in the game so this will be helpful

[Saturn]

You're welcome Shadowrunner! Glad they can be of use

[Isgoed]

Is the file that Sinigord send you for sharing, or for your own use only?

I've never played the cd version of Painter, but I do have the SE cartridge edition from omf which is great with tons of levels and a lot of different music-tunes.

[Saturn]

If I remember correctly, I told Gordon I'd never give it out. This was after he sent it to me and he probably wouldn't care. I will add asking him about it to my list and post back

[Isgoed]

Yeah, it would be cool if we could compare.

It's good that you respect Gordon's wishes, so if you can't share the file, no problem!

[Saturn]

Cool man
Incidentally, since the Painter source code is freely available on the Sinister Site, it wouldn't stop anyone with the right program (Virtual Jaguar in programmer mode?) from compiling it into the same .coff file lol. Then, they could run it through JiFFi and make the identical encrypted CD.

Just pull the dev tools installer from Bellboz's site and compile the source with smac and link it with sln to get the .cof file.  As Saturn says, you can then pump it through Jiffi to get a bootable cdi image ready for burning.  Takes literally 5 mins.

This is gold, thanks! Been over a decade since I compiled any source and couldn't remember if the Alpine was directly involved in the process. I have all the old info/tools in a 'WIP' directory on my Desktop and was going to research it eventually. That narrows it down a LOT. I just need to read a how to for noobs so I can reacquaint myself with the steps and move on to the Breakout 2000 source.

Had to scratch my head a bit too, it's been far too long since I messed with this stuff.  I substituted smac for mac (running Windows and ran 'smac -fb main.s', then sln -e -a 10000 x x main.o' (aln substituted for sln).  Just fire up the .cof file in VJ and now I'm hopelessly addicted to Painter!!!!

You're welcome - gave me a welcome diversion at work this morning.  I was just kinda curious after reading the thread, as its not one I've played before.
