From dA ApPle ISle CRaka - Lame and proud to BE lame.

WHAT IT DOES:-

Makes Awave behave exactly (as far as I can tell) as if it were registered, enables 
"registration" too, if that's what you want (you thieving prick).
I don't use Awave much, but the arrogant "annoying pop-up box" and other nagging bullshit pissed
me off, so here's the CRACK. (I hate it when arseholes distribute their shit and then immediately
start whining that you've all but stolen it)

TO DO THE PATCH:-

Put AW31K.exe in your awave dir and run it.

TO REGISTER (optional):-

Make a new text file with a ".key" extension (eg. "anything.key")

on the first line put:-

Username=[your grandma]

(Hint for morons - "your grandma" is an EXAMPLE...)

Now choose this keyfile from Awave's "register" function. After the patch, ol' Awave ain't got 
too many clues about what's a good key and what isn't. This registering won't make any 
difference to functionality, just puts a name in.

COMMENTS/HINTS:-

Don't know what would happen if you ran the patch on another version of awave (except that it
wouldn't work).

I used a shareware patcher to make AW31K.EXE (in a rush) - so distributing it is prob 
illegal. If this is a problem, you can just distribute this TEXT file - and people can use a 
hex editor:-

ALTERNATIVE CRACK:-

1) fire up the hex editor
2) load awave.exe
3) search for:-

FF 15 84 00 46 00

Change to:-

E8 07 FC FF FF 90

4) Search for:-

BB 88 08 00 00

Change to:-

BB 00 00 00 00

5) Save the modified awave.exe

the result is EXACTLY the same as using the .exe patcher.

ANY PROBLEMS/WORSHIPFUL ADORATION:-
Post something to alt.2600.crackz, I may see it. In particular, I'd be interested if you find
any features in awave that aren't enabled by this crack (I haven't tested much).

If anyone's interested - one of the patches lobotomises the protection routine, the other
destroys a CRC check (Awave does a check on its own code when it loads, to check it hasn't been
modified - and then CRASHES if it has). The protection routine itself uses some 
anti-cracker tricks.

This crack is dedicated to Soft-ICE, the lovely program.
