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.)

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

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> California Games by Epyx
crack written by The Mad Hacker
Using PCTools, search for FA FC 55 56 57 and replace
with 00 00 31 C0 C3.
Crack> Games: Winter edition by Epyx
crack taken from BBS
To deprotect The Games: Winter Edition, follow these
steps:
RENAME GAMES.EXE GAMES.XXX
DEBUG GAMES.XXX
S 0000 FFFF 0B C0 74 01 to search for the protection pattern
The computer should respond with only one address. If
none or more than one is given, this deprotection may not
work. Sorry!
Take the address given (in the form of XXXX:YYYY) and
subtract 5 from the YYYY address. The numbers are in
hexadecimal. *Do not attempt this patch if you do not
understand Hex.*
>>>Note from Bob: If you don't understand hex, I'm sure
>>>the person sitting next to you does. If not, email me.
Use the subtracted number (ZZZZ) and enter it in
DEBUG.
E ZZZZ EB 03 90 90 90 31 C0 NOP the protection scheme

Q to exit to DOS
RENAME GAMES.XXX GAMES.EXE
Crack> Elite Plus by Microplay
crack written by Vartan Narinian
>>>Note from Bob: I am corrected; this wasn't extremely
>>>nasty to do. In his words, it "wasn't so bad." :)
OK, I finally hacked it. Here's what to do:
Search for:
BE 0F BF BF 2B 30 E8 E3 FE E8 BD FE
Replace the first two by: C3 00
Search for:
2E 89 6F C8 E8 B1 24 E9 34 1C
Replace the first four with NOPs (90)
This takes care of the check if the word is correct.
To actually remove the question,
Search for:
E8 FF 19 BF D9 06 81 C7 C4 06 B0 18 BB 5A 00
BA 0A 00 B9 93 00 FF D7
Replace the first three and the last two with NOPs (90).
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.
To make it accept any answer as input:
Scan ovl0.ovl for 5B 5B 0B C0 74 06 FF 46 FE
CHANGE THE 74 TO EB
If you do not want to press return:
Scan centurio.exe for AF 02 E8 19 CE 2B F1 F9
CHANGE THE E8 19 CE --> B8 0D 00
>>>Note from Bob: Thanks to a fellow netter for sending

(Version 1.2 only)
1. Rename AFT.EXE to AFT.XXX
2. Enter DEBUG with AFT.XXX open for editing.
3. At the DEBUG "-" prompt, type
U 0DBB <ENTER>
Several lines with be displayed on screen. You are interested in the first
two. They should look EXACTLY like this:
xxxx:0DBB E9A3A7 JMP B561
xxxx:0DBE C3 RET
The "xxxx" represents any four hexadecimal numbers. If you have a match,
on to the next step. If not, you probably have the wrong version. Sorry!
4. At the "-" prompt again, type
U 0E38 <RETURN>
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. If not, sorry!
5. At the "-" prompt, type the following:
E CS:0DBB 90 90 90 <ENTER>
E CS:0E38 C3 90 90 90 <ENTER>
W <ENTER>
Q <ENTER>
You should now be back in DOS. Only one more step left.

crack by The Mad Hacker
The protection scheme can be bypassed with Central Point
Software's NOKEY (distributed with Copy II-PC), or you can
search through ST.EXE for CD 13 and replace it with 90 90.
You can use this patch with most software that NOKEY works
with, since you are NOP'ing out the INT 13 that checks the disk
drive.

I hate looking up codes, pictures, etc in in-

*Note:* Don't do this to your original, use a
copy.
Using Norton Utilities, search POPULOUS.EXE
for 3B 46 0C 75 09 8B 46 0C A3 82 2A and
replace the 75 09 with EB 03 then write the data
and you're done. Now at the verification screen,
just type enter. (You still have to put in your name
though.)

Crack> Civilization

This is a quick and simple unprotect for Microprose's CIVILIZATION game.
The unprotect will remove that annoying request at 3000BC for information
regarding the requirement to achieve some randomly selected technology.
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.

This is not quite right because it assumes that ds = cs. The e
command
enters the bytes in the data segment. If ds happens to be equal to
cs, then
all is OK. If not, you'll be changing the wrong bytes.
Use
E CS:0DBB 90 90 90 <ENTER>
and
E CS:0E38 C3 90 90 90 <ENTER>
instead.

Since the portion to be altered is not in the first segment of
the file, you will have to use Norton, or another good editor.
DEBUG won't work, unless someone knows how to find where DEBUG
loads additional segments.

Crack> Test Drive III
crack written by anonymous
>>>Note from Bob: This was tested on version 2.0 as well and it
>>>worked fine.
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> 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. It worked fine on his however.
The file size of my copy of ULTIMA.EXE is 36576.
The date is 06-24-88.
I hope this is of some help!
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. My copy is kind of old so I hope this still works.

Crack> Jack Nicklaus Golf
crack written by anonymous
This program is protected by a code-wheel lookup, and is hideously easy
to defeat. This patch will work for the following version of the game:
GOLF EXE 82503 09-19-90 9:52a
The file is compressed with LZEXE v0.90, and its uncompressed size is
146164 bytes.
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.
