This crack is for Ultima 5. It works on my version of Ultima which has an ultima.exe file dated 10-19-88, size 36592 bytes. Use Pctools or Nortons and find the following in ultima.exe: String Replace with ====== ============ 9E726F BAD652 02E252E655 EC4B57 EB7150 F8 EB7D54 F8 EB535B F8 EB6948 F8 B852C3 The replacement string above is separated by blanks only to represent separate instructions. The bytes above are XOR'd with x'53' to produce said instructions. There should be only one occurence each of the search strings. This crack will probably ONLY work with the version of Ultima above. It is a bit lengthy and inelegant, but it works. The Mad Hacker Calgary, Alberta.
