- Impossible Mission II.
-
-
- FROM:
- THE COMPANY OF WOLVES
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- NEEDED:
- Norton Utilities (or simular program).
- A copy of the game file from your original Manhunter disk.
- IM2_CGA.EXE if you have CGA graphics,IM2_TAN.EXE for Tandy,
- IM2_EGA.EXE for EGA, or IM2_MGGA.EXE for MCGA.
- A bit of your time.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- 1. HOW TO UNPROTECT IMPOSSIBLE MISSION II:
- First load the appropiat file into Norton.
- Search for the string A2 CA 99 A2 28 9C.
- Change these 6 bytes and the next 6 bytes (total of 12) to 90's.
- Write the changes.
- Then search for the bytes CD 21 B9 01 14.
- Change the CD 21 to 90 90.
- Write the changes.
- Now search for F6 C4 10.
- Change the byte immediatly following the 10 (75) to EB.
- Write the changes.
- Next search for the bytes BB 09 9A 8B CD.
- Change the 2 bytes before this string (72 xx (xx is different for
- some of the above files)) to 90 90.
- Write the changes.
- Now search for B9 10 00 F3 A7.
- Change the 2 bytes following this string (75 xx) to 90 90.
- Write the changes.
- Now search for B9 04 00 F3 A7.
- Change the 2 bytes following this string (75 xx) to 90 90.
- Write the changes.
- Now search for B8 09 02 CD 13.
- Change the CD 13 to 90 90, and the byte following it (73) to EB.
- Write the changes.
-
- Now the check for the copy protection (a bad sector on disk A) is
- disabled. If you don't intend to use the game on your hard disk
- you can now play the game from and DISKCOPYed disk. If you want
- to play this game from a single directory on any fixed disk
- follow the procedure below.
-
- 2. FIXING THE PROGRAM TO PLAY FROM 1 DIRECTORY:
- Once again load the appropiat .EXE file into Norton.
- Search for the string CHARS\.
- Basicly you will type the file name after the CHARS\ over CHARS\.
- For example if the full string is CHARS\THISFILE.A to
- THISFILE.A(00) (Note. the end of the file name is denoted by a
- 00) hex). Be sure to look to see if the . after the file is
- indeed a . or a 00 hex because some files have extentions and
- some don't and make sure that you end the name you just typed
- over ends with a 00.
- Write the changes.
- Repete the prodcedure until you reach the end of the file.
- Next do the same thing exept look for the string ROOMS\.
-
- Now when you copy the game just copy all of the files from all
- directories from your original disks to the directory on the hard
- drive you intend to use. You can now enjoy the game without
- flipping thru floppy disks.
