The following protection removal schemes took many valuable hours of time to
create. This file contains the procedures for many of the latest software
packages out today. (This document is updated at every new unprotection
scheme or schemes we find.) Please be patient if your program can't be
cracked yet. It will be, pretty soon, we hope.
! Please note that these patches are for personal use only !

A NOTE ON COPY PROTECTION
At the CopyCats, we would like to make a statement on copy protection. We see
this concept as unnecessary. Crude disk checking and trudging through the
manuals for "key words," make it very difficult for many of the novice users,
as well as the experienced computer users. Many of our "program hackers"
also feel they do not promote software piracy. They only help the people
who are against the protection schemes and use of software authorization
procedures. And, if it continues, WE will continue.

LAST MINUTE HACKER'S NOTES
The PaperBoy here. You may notice that many of these programs have similar
protection scheme instruction codes. If you have a program that has no
unprotection scheme here, apply it to the program and test it. That's how
we were able to pull most schemes down. Remember, this is for the experienced
user. Don't mess up your originals, either. And, use write-protect tabs for
the scheme checking - last time, it erased itself due to a backfire of
the BIOS interrupt 13hex. Smart program, but WE cracked it. CAREFUL!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE UNPROTECTION SCHEMES!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. MOST MAJOR ACCOLADE SOFTWARE, The PaperBoy
To remove the protection schemes of 4TH & INCHES, TEST DRIVE, FAST BREAK**, &
other ACCOLADE SOFTWARE:
Search for these bytes: 55 56 57 06 1E (use Norton Utilities, DEBUG
And replace it with: 31 C0 C3 06 1E PC-Tools, or equivalent)
** If you wish to patch FAST BREAK, you must modify all main FB-?.EXE files
and the FB.RTL file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT BY ACCOLADE, Two Guys
The previous ACCOLADE unprotection scheme was incompatible with its later
released game, GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT. With an updated protection, you must:
Search for these bytes ------> And replace it with
1. BE 06 00 E8 13 00 EB 16 00 EB 13 00
2. F6 C4 10 75 0B EB 0E 10 75 0B
3. 72 5F BB 90 90 BB
4. 75 47 BE 90 90 BE
5. B8 09 02 EB 0A 02
6. 75 03 E8 03 EB 03 E8 03 (GPEGA.EXE only!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. LEISURE SUIT LARRY II BY SIERRA, Pirates-R-Us
LEISURE SUIT LARRY GOES LOOKING FOR LOVE IN SEVERAL WRONG PLACES by Sierra
On-Line has a seriously annoying protection scheme. The player must trudge
through the manual to look for girl's phone number in order to enter the
game. This patch force the program to accept any input at the prompt in the
initialization of the program.
1. Rename SIERRA.EXE to SIERRA.XXX
2. Enter DEBUG and enter the following lines.

3. Rename SIERRA.XXX back to SIERRA.EXE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. STAR TREK: THE KOBAYASHI ALTERNATIVE BY SIMON & SCHUSTER, Dr. Disk
This simple protection scheme can be bypassed with Central Point Software's
NOKEY (distributed with COPY II-PC), or you can use the removal scheme below.
Search through ST.EXE for CD 13 and replace it with 90 90.
You can use this patch with most software that you use with NOKEY to bypass
its protection scheme.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. RAMPAGE AND THE LAST NINJA BY ACTIVISION, INC., The Ninjutsu
The above unprotection scheme can be used on these two ACTIVISION programs.
Search the main EXE files for CD 13 and replace it with 90 90.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. MANHUNTER: NEW YORK BY SIERRA, Bart Montgomery
Search the file MHVOL.1 for these bytes: 41 06 7A
and replace them with these bytes: 7F C3 00
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. FIX FOR BRUCE LEE BY DATASOFT, The PaperBoy (FOR DISK VERSION ONLY)
First, Bruce Lee is an excellent product. It's just that (aaarrrggghhh)
you have no `falls' left, and you feel yourself quite near the finish of the
game. Suddenly, one of those little dots floating on floor taps your foot and
you get zapped. You see the sign "Game Over" and you feel pretty pissed, and
wish you could open the drive and rip the disk to shreds, but that would be
a waste. So, fix it! One thing you could do is play option C, one player vs.
your opponent played by the other player. But this time, play alone, and make
sure the second joystick is calibrated wrong. If the computer sees that the
Yamo isn't moving,
