How to fix copy protection from
and supercharge characters
for Pool of Radiance.
FROM
THE COMPANY OF WOLVES
----------------------------------------------------------------
NEEDED:
Norton Utilities (or similar program)
A copy of the file start.exe from your pool of radiance disk
A bit of your time
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. HOW TO UNPROTECT POOL OF RADIANCE:
First load START.EXE into Norton
Then search for one of the key words from the code disk
Change the 6 letters of each word to whatever you want (make then
all the same for convince)
Save the changes
11/08/89
I just completed a new fix which will completely skip over the
part where the program asks you for the word from the code disk.
For Norton Utilities users search for the string 9A 25 00 1D 00,
change all of these bytes to 90's. For all of you Debug fans out
there rename the file START.EXE to say 123.AAA (or whatever),
then type S cs:100 900 9A 25 00 1D 00. It should show a match at
xxxx:05D7. Change the bytes by typing the following: E 05D7
{enter}, 90 {space} 90 {space} 90 {space} 90 {space} 90 {enter}.
Then write the file with the W command and quit Debug. Now rename
the file you just fixed to START.EXE and your done.
01/03/90
I have just been made aware of another version of start.exe dated
12/12/88. To get around the copy protection for this version with
Norton search for the same string listed above, with this version
change the first four bytes to 90's and leave the 00 alone.
Thanx Karl.
----------------------------------------------------------------
2. SUPERCHARGING YOUR CHARACTERS:
Copy the file CHARFIX.EXE (included in this fix) into the
directory where your saved games reside. Change to that
directory. Run the program, it is self explanatory.
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you have any problems with any of the patches above check the
date of the file START.EXE on your original disk A for the date
10-26-88. If your file has a different date then they probably
changed the copy protection method and your out of luck with this
patch. For other problems leave The Company of Wolves a message,
I can be reached on EXCEL BBS (414)789-4210 under the name
Nicodemus Keesarvexious.
