How to remove the copy protection from
Might and Magic.
FROM:
THE COMPANY OF WOLVES
----------------------------------------------------------------
NEEDED:
1. Norton Utilities (or similar program)
2. A copy of the file MM.EXE from your original disk.
3. A bit of your time
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. HOW TO UNPROTECT MIGHT AND MAGIC:
First load the file MM.EXE into Norton.
Then search for the string CD 13 72 EE.
Change these bytes to 90 90 90 90.
Write the changes.
Next search for the string CD 13 72 05.
Change these bytes to 90 90 90 90.
Write the changes.
Next search for the string CD 13 72 05.
Change the CD 13 to 90 90 and the 72 05 to EB 05.
A few bytes after this is a 75 F6, change these bytes to 90 90.
you will have to do this 4 more times here are the jumps to look
for: 75 20, 75 18, 75 10, 75 08. These will all be 7 bytes apart,
change them all to 90's.
Once again their will be another jump 7 bytes after the last one
you changed (74 03), change it to EB 03.
Write the changes.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The program will now skip the check for copy protection all
together.
If you have any problems with any of the patches above check the
date of the file MM.EXE on your original disk 1 for the date
11/18/87. If your file has a different date then they probably
changed the copy protection method and your out of luck with this
patch. If you have any questions leave me a message at The
Company of Wolves BBS (301)791-1595, or I can be reached on EXCEL
BBS (414)789-4210 under the name Nicodemus Keesarvexious.
