Crack> Mean 18: Accolade 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. >>>Note from Bob: If this doesn't work, there are two more cracks I >>>have on file for Mean 18. Crack> Accolade Software (generally) crack written by The Mad Hacker Here is an easy way to remove the protection schemes of 4th & Inches, Test Drive, Fast Break, and other Accolade Software. Search for 55 56 57 06 1E and replace with 31 C0 C3 06 1E. (Use Norton Utilities, DEBUG, PC-Tools, or other equivalent.) Crack> SimCity crack written by Mike Basford of Canada Use Norton or PCTools to search for 0C 87 00 75 3C and change the 75 to EB. Write the bytes. Crack> Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain 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 W Q REN BOB.XXX BOB.EXE Now run it and have fun. 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. >>>Note from Bob: What *is* this game? Crack> Games: Summer Edition by Epyx crack written by The Mad Hacker To unprotect THE GAMES, search for E8 87 00 59 C6 and change to 59 59 5F EB 55.

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 ri09+@andrew.cmu.edu and I'll forward them) This is a (maybe THE) crack for Centurion.

If not, you probably have the wrong version. Sorry! 4. At the "-" prompt again, type U 0E38 Several lines of code will again be displayed on screen. Look at the first two following the "U 0E38" command. They should also match exactly with the following: xxxx:0E38 880E5005 MOV [0550],CL xxxx:0Exx 8A0E4D05 MOV CL,[054d] If you have a match here, then you should have a compatible version of the AFS program.

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.

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. :-) Crack> Powermonger crack written by anonymous In file game.exe search for hex bytes:E8 CD FD 2B 00 75 33 replace 75 33 with 90 90 Crack> Ultima V crack written by anonymous >>>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.

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.

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.
