Altered Beasty Boy by Sega
|
||
Cracked by R. Bubba Magillicutty and Fabulous Furlough
|
||
|
||
GRAPHICS: HGC/CGA/TDY/EGA/"VGA"
|
||
SOUND: IBM/TDY/Adlib
|
||
CONTROLS: Keyboard/Joystick
|
||
SPAM: Not tonight, you give me a head-ache.
|
||
|
||
NOTES:
|
||
Press F1 from the title screen for a key quick-reference. The adlib
|
||
sounds just like the arcade game, except the lame "roar" when you change.
|
||
|
||
CRACKING NOTES:
|
||
This one was interesting. A little different from the traditional
|
||
Sega protection, but not much. It has two methods - running from floppy uses
|
||
a traditional INT 13-based read, then runs part of the code it read in (or
|
||
just uses the info to tell it where to jump to.) If you install to a hard
|
||
drive, it modifies the root directory around the directory name where you
|
||
installed it. We forced it to think it was always on a hard drive. It also
|
||
checked to see if it was running from a directory right below the root dir.
|
||
It wouldn't let you run it in something below that, i.e. you couldn't install
|
||
it to \games\beasty. Now you can. You're welcome.
|
||
This was sort of a co-crack. Actually, we pretty much both did it
|
||
separately. Fabulous Furlough had it almost working but didn't know it when
|
||
he called me and gave it to me. He got it far enough to get a "FILE NOT
|
||
FOUND" error from LOAD. But it turned out that it always does that if you
|
||
don't let it get called by BEAST. I had more fun with it. I ran the ACCESS
|
||
thing which modifies your hard drive root dir. It refused to run under
|
||
Compaq DOS. Of course both computers here run Compaq DOS. So I booted up
|
||
with a floppy, cracked the ACCESS install program, and got it to run. That's
|
||
when I told FF that you can't just run LOAD. From there we both fixed it up
|
||
on our own, giving each other bad advice along the way to make cracking it
|
||
take longer.
