-
- crack written by Briggs
-
- Caution: Do not modify your original disk.
- Copy all your files to another disk or to a subdirectory on your
- hard disk and put the original disk away in a safe place.
- Mean 18 does not indicate a version number but the file size for
- GOLF.EXE should be 89375 bytes. The copy protection scheme
- looks for a bad sector on drive A. We will patch 4 calls to this
- routine with NOP's (no operation) and patch 1 JUMP to an early
- exit with a NOP.
- Put DEBUG.COM (from your DOS disk) in the same directory
- or make sure it is in the DOS path. Type the following commands:
-
- REN GOLF.EXE GOLF.XXX Rename program for debug
- DEBUG GOLF.XXX Start debug
- RCS Check contents of cs register
- Retype the 4 digits shown, but add 1 to the left digit first. The
- code that we want to change is beyond the current 64K segment.
-
- E CS:4FE3 90 90 90 NOP the first call
- E CS:4FEC 90 90 90 NOP the second call
- E CS:500A 90 90 90 NOP the third call
- E CS:5019 90 90 90 NOP the fourth call
- E CS:5058 90 90 NOP the early exit jump
- RCS Check cs register again
-
- Retype the 4 digits shown, but subtract 1 from the left digit first.
- Restore the cs register to its original state.
- W Write file back to the disk
- Q Quit debug
- REN GOLF.XXX GOLF.EXE Restore file name
-
- Now run GOLF and confirm that the patch works.

-
- crack written by Mike Basford of Canada
-
- Here's how to get rid of that silly code wheel.
- After this you don't have to tune the radio any-
- more.
- You will need Norton Utilities or Debug,
- Norton is easier. When using Norton Utilities,
- select BOB.EXE and search for 36 24 75 08 B8
- 01 (using the hex field) and change the 75 08 to
- 90 90. Write the data and you're done.
- If you are using Debug:
- REN BOB.EXE BOB.XXX
- DEBUG BOB.XXX
- R use the value of CS for the next step
- S CS:0000 FFFF 39 87 36 24 75 08 B8 01 00 8B E5
- replace CS with the value
-
- (Debug should respond with something like
- this:
- CS:xxxx xxxx is used next)
-
- U xxxx use the value from above in place of xxxx
-
- (You should see:
- CS:xxxx CMP [BX+2436],AX
- CS:yyyy JNZ 7762)
-
- E yyyy use value from above
- 75.90 08.90 you type the 90s

- Crack> Pool of Radiance by SSI
-
- crack written by Les B. Minaker of Canada
-
- Requirements:
- PC-Tools or Norton Utilities
- I was getting really annoyed at the copy
- protection with this game, so I got out my sector
- editor and started poking around. Eventually I
- found the answer.
- First install the program normally by unarcing
- it onto your hard drive or 7 floppies.
-
- *Note:* I had absolutely no luck unarcing it onto
- floppies. It took me an hour and didn't even run!
- (But, it did install to the hard drive O.K.) Part of
- the install is configuring the program for your
- system.
-
- Once you have the program installed:
-
- 1. Find the file named START.EXE and rename
- it to something else like STARTBAK.EXE.
-
- 2. Copy the file STARTBAK.EXE to
- START.EXE. This renames the original and
- makes the copy the executable program.
-
- 3. Using PC-Tools VIEW-EDIT mode or Norton
- Utilities Hex Editor, call up the file
- START.EXE.
-
- 4. Find the 13 following words with the Hex-
- Editor and change each one to HAHAHA (or
- any 6 Capital letters - not lowercase!) and save
- the changes to disk in the file START.EXE:
-
- >>>Note from Bob: It's easier to change all the
- >>>words you find to Hex 00. Then, just press
- >>>'enter' when asked for the code check.
- >>>However, his way works as well.
-
- BEWARE, ZOMBIE, NOTNOW, COPPER, DRAGON, EFREET,
- FRIEND, JUNGLE, KNIGHT, SAVIOR, TEMPLE, VULCAN,
- WYVERN
-
- 5. When you enter the program and are asked for
- the code from the Translation Wheel, type
- HAHAHA and you're in!
-
- That's all there is to it. It is understood, of
- course, that this unprotect is only to be used by
- legitimate owners of the game - who have tired o
- spinning that &%@# code wheel!

- Crack> Paladin by Omnitrends
-
- crack written by Jim Bello
-
- This patch will remove the jump to the docu-
- mentation check in Paladin.
-
- Use PCTools or Norton Utilities to search for 3B 46 FC
- 75 0B and change the 75 0B to 90 90.
-
- The Documentation check window will still
- appear, but just hit 'enter' and the program will
- run.

- S 0000 FFFF 0B C0 74 01 to search for the protection pattern

- work. Sorry!
- Take the address given (in the form of XXXX:YYYY) and
- subtract 5 from the YYYY address. The numbers are in
- hexadecimal. *Do not attempt this patch if you do not
- understand Hex.*
- >>>Note from Bob: If you don't understand hex, I'm sure

-
- >>>Note from Bob: I am corrected; this wasn't extremely

-
- OK, I finally hacked it. Here's what to do:
- Search for:

- Replace the first two by: C3 00
- Search for:
- 2E 89 6F C8 E8 B1 24 E9 34 1C
- Replace the first four with NOPs (90)
- This takes care of the check if the word is correct.
-
- To actually remove the question,
- Search for:
- E8 FF 19 BF D9 06 81 C7 C4 06 B0 18 BB 5A 00
- BA 0A 00 B9 93 00 FF D7
- Replace the first three and the last two with NOPs (90).

- Crack> Eye of the Beholder II
-
- crack written by anonymous (send questions or comments
- to ri09+@andrew.cmu.edu and I'll forward them)
-
- This is a nice 1-byte crack for Eye of the Beholder 2.
-
- The boys from SSI tried to be tricky, (maybe unknowingly)
- but I got through their BS anyway.
-
- They had some funky way of reading the key-board. I'm still
- not sure how they did it, but Hey... WHO CARES!!!!
- Besides that, putting the protection way INTO the game makes
- things harder sometimes.... (not this time :-))
-
- Basically, what this crack does is the follwoing......
-
- The program does the following:
-
- 1 Get input
- 2 Encode / decode etc. etc. etc.
- 3 Was it the right one?
- If so JUMP and continue the program
- If not, return to protection routine.
-
- My patch changes the "If so JUMP" line to "JUMP ALWAYS"
-
- So the patch:
- Scan for: 83 C4 08 0B C0 74 14 47
- ^-------------Change to EB
-
- Thats it.....
- Have fun.

- Crack> Centurion

- crack written by anonymous (send questions or comments

-
- To make it accept any answer as input:
-
- Scan ovl0.ovl for 5B 5B 0B C0 74 06 FF 46 FE
- CHANGE THE 74 TO EB
-
- If you do not want to press return:
- Scan centurio.exe for AF 02 E8 19 CE 2B F1 F9
- CHANGE THE E8 19 CE --> B8 0D 00

-
- This is a quick and simple unprotect for Microprose's CIVILIZATION game.
- The unprotect will remove that annoying request at 3000BC for information
- regarding the requirement to achieve some randomly selected technology.
-
- FILE: CIV.EXE (mine is date stamped 12/03/91)
-
- Look for the following hex byte sequence: 7D 05 CD
- It should start at hex offset 276D.
-
- Change the "7D" to "EB" and save the modified file.
-
- This patch changes the JGE instruction to a JMP and makes the program assume
- that you have already answered the "protection" question.
-
- One additional benefit from this unprotect is that you can use the SAVE GAME
- feature as soon as you have completed the first move in the game.

-
- This is not quite right because it assumes that ds = cs. The e
- command
- enters the bytes in the data segment. If ds happens to be equal to
- cs, then
- all is OK. If not, you'll be changing the wrong bytes.
-
- Use

-
- Unprotect for Test Drive III
- ----------------------------
-
- This unprotect is for version 1.1 of Test Drive III. (The version
- number is marked on the original disk.) The TD3.EXE file size is
- 138317. The date and time are 12-3-90 1:42p.
-
- This may work with other versions or it may not. Your mileage may
- vary, so always work with a copy.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Method 1 (Debug)
-
- Using Debug:
-
- RENAME TD3.EXE TD3.XXX
- DEBUG TD3.XXX
- U 480
-
- The first two instructions you see should be:
-
- JNZ 0487
- MOV BYTE PTR [0088],01
-
- Change the JNZ to two NOP's:
-
- E 480 90 90
-
- Save and rename back to .EXE:
-
- W
- Q
- RENAME TD3.XXX TD3.EXE
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Method 2 (Hex editor)
-
- Find the hex string:
-
- 75 05 C6 06 88 00 01
-
- In TD3.EXE. Change it to:
-
- 90 90 C6 06 88 00 01
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The "cop quiz" will still appear when you start the game. Just type
- in ANY number - 0 will work fine. The cop will still tell you "Wrong,
- you can only play for 2 minutes" but what he doesn't know won't hurt
- him. The game will play exactly as if you answered the question
- correctly.
-
- It would have been just as easy to eliminate the "cop quiz" entirely,
- but it's a good graphic so I let the nice policeman hassle me once
- at the beginning of the game. Only now his tickets are no good. :-)

-
- >>>Note from Bob: The kind netter who sent this to me said that he has
- >>>heard complaints that this won't work on some of the newer versions
- >>>of Ultima V. It worked fine on his however.
-
- The file size of my copy of ULTIMA.EXE is 36576.
- The date is 06-24-88.
-
- I hope this is of some help!
-
- To unprotect Ultima V try this: (On a copy, of course!)
- {Don't type in the comments in curly brackets.}
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- rename ultima.exe ultima.xxx
-
- debug ultima.xxx
-
- -d 10e 111
-
- 17E5:0100 6E 09 n.
- 17E5:0110 64 00 d.
-
- {If you don't see the "6E 09" and "64 00" here then your copy is
- different than mine and this probably won't work.}
-
- -e 10e 3b 1b 00 08
-
- -d 114 117
-
- 17E5:0110 00 00 1C 08 ....
-
- {Check for "00 00 1C 08".}
-
- -e 114 22 03 2d 07
-
- -w
-
- Writing 8EE0 bytes
-
- -q
-
- rename ultima.xxx ultima.exe
-
- {done}
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Or use your favorite hex editor (Norton's, etc.) and change the
- string 6E096400 to 3B1B0008
- and 00001C08 to 22032D07
-
- Change the first occurrence only! The second string appears in the
- file several times.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This just changes the .EXE file header so that execution begins after
- the key disk check. My copy is kind of old so I hope this still works.

- I really need someone's opinion on the StarTrek. I didn't play
- StarTrek much, so I don't know what's gonna happen on the second doc check and
- so on... I tested the patch only for the 1st star, so please send all comments
- to my email address.

- Crack> Jack Nicklaus Golf
- crack written by anonymous

- This program is protected by a code-wheel lookup, and is hideously easy
- to defeat. This patch will work for the following version of the game:
-
- GOLF EXE 82503 09-19-90 9:52a
-
- The file is compressed with LZEXE v0.90, and its uncompressed size is
- 146164 bytes.
-
- So, to crack it, uncompress it with UNLZEXE, and change offset 3BDC:
- E8 56 F5 to 90 90 90. This will completely bypass the code-wheel prompt
- and verification.
-
- Addendum
- --------
- To crack the course designer, UNLZEXE the file DESIGN.EXE (size 76307,
- date 09-19-90), and edit offset 2C47: 9A 34 -> EB 03.

- First, unOPTLINK the file; if you don't have any utility to do this use NU6.0,
- NUCONFIG program which lets you expand OPTLINKed files. Be sure to rename
- YEAGER.EXE to one of the file NUCONFIG understands (DE,SF,etc.).
