CRACK by Hawk> TSRs Dungeon Master Assistant File: start.exe Search for: e8 ad fb Replace with: 90 90 90 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.) Crack> SimCity crack written by Mike Basford of Canada 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 Q 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 W Save the modified file 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 >>>these next few deprotects my way.

Below is the >>>'change' field, showing which of those bytes must be >>>changed and to what they must be changed. For example, >>>the above file (whichever one you must scan... it doesn't >>>really say, does it? Try some ones with an .exe >>>extension.) must be searched for '2A ED 3B C1 74 07' >>>and the number, 74, must be changed to EB.

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. 6. Rename AFT.XXX back to AFT.EXE That's it! You now have an unprotected copy of AFT. Crack> Rampage by Activision crack from bboard Search the file MHVOL.1 for these bytes: 41 06 7A and replace them with these bytes: 7F C3 00 Crack> Rampage and The Last Ninja by Activision 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. Crack> Populous crack by Mike Basford of Canada I hate looking up codes, pictures, etc in in- struction books! If you have Populous and feel the same way, here's how to fix the game. *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> F-19 Stealth Fighter by Microprose crack from bboard Make a copy of DISK A (the master disk). Put the copy of DISK A in drive A: REN SU.EXE SU.ZAP B: DEBUG SU.ZAP E 2E9E EE EF 6B 8E E 2F61 F9 42 43 E 2F81 F1 F2 DB 64 65 E 2F91 E1 E2 E 2FA1 11 12 E 2F11 61 62 E 2F19 19 F2 W Q This will deprotect the version of SU.EXE that's dated 10-15- 88, but probably won't work for other versions. Crack> Empire crack written by anonymous Change file: EMPIRE.EXE Find: 39 8F AA 0C 74 03 ?? ?? ??

You will still have to press enter 3 times to get into the game. Crack> BattleChess -VGA- (supposedly works on Bchess II as well) crack was written by The Flash PART 1. EDITOR: PCshell/Norton FILE TO SEARCH: CHESS.EXE SEARCH STRING: EB FE C4 5E CHANGE: EB FE TO: 90 90 PART 2. EDITOR: PCshell/Norton FILE TO SEARCH: CHESS.EXE SEARCH STRING: 3D 02 00 7D CHANGE: 02 TO: 00 Crack> Civilization crack written by the Mooncrow 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. Crack> Drakkhen crack written by anonymous File: drakm.cc1 Find: FA 75 22 F8 06 Replace: 75 with EB Crack> Correction to Chuck Yeager's AFT correction by Vartan Narinian >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 0DBB 90 90 90 <ENTER> > E 0E38 C3 90 90 90 <ENTER> > W <ENTER> > Q <ENTER> 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. Hack in Peace! Crack> Escape From Hell crack from Computist Magazine, written by anonymous Better grab a microscope if you haven't got a cracked version. This doc check asks about some monsters whose tiny pictures appear in the manual. 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. Below is a list of offsets of the byte to change in the file ESCAPE.EXE. Go to the followinf offsets one by one and change the bytes 75 05 at each offset to 90 90. *offsets* 14DFC 14E3A 14E78 14EB6 14EF3 14F1E There are six possible types of questions the game can ask about a character, and each has its own routine. The above will fix all of the routines.

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> Powermonger crack written by anonymous In file game.exe search for hex bytes:E8 CD FD 2B 00 75 33 replace 75 33 with 90 90 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> Silent Service ][ crack written by Majik Using PCshell or Norton Utilities, search the file SS2.EXE.

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.
