BlackMax's Gamebusters Inc. ************ INSTRUCTIONS ************ Using no special copying utility, simply copy all the files from the distribution (or even a copy of the distribution disk) onto a newly formatted floppy, or your hard disk if you wish. Using an absolute disk editor or file byte editor(HADES from HUG is excellent for this purpose!), search the file named in quotes for the indicated string of bytes. Replace the byte in the top line with the indicated byte or bytes in the bottom line. Change or replace NO other bytes! Now make these changes permanant in the file on your disk. Now run the program as you normally would. You can copy the games to any disk you like now! Have fun! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through the Heath Users' Group. Call (616) 982-3837 (voice) or (616) 982-3956 (bbs & leave private message). Oh yes, I'm "BlackMax". ############################################################################## ############################################################################## ****************** Might And Magic II ****************** Search the file 1MENU1.OVL for the following byte sequences, and replace the indicated bytes with the ones shown. B5 27 8A 16 6D 1E B6 00 07 06 33 DB CD 13 <-- Search 90 90 <-- Replace B5 27 8A 16 6D 1E B6 00 CD 13 80 FC 10 74 07 <-- Search 90 90 EB 32 <-- Replace ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Who ya gonna call... GAME-BUSTERS!! *********************************************************** 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 The Company of Wolves a message, I can be reached on EXCEL BBS (414)789-4210 under the name Nicodemus Keesarvexious.
