A shitty French game that ain't cracked. Come on, PE, I've had to fix many of your "cracks" because you released them without ever bothering to crack them. You spent a lot of time taking the original COM file that once served as the main loader to this game and gave it an EXE header, then proceeded to link in your own title screen.. How could you miss the obvious doc check that came up RIGHT AFTER THE PROGRAM LOADED which would drop you to dos every time?? Off my soapbox... Anyway, I spent about an hour and a half cleaning up PE's mess. First, I UnLZEXEd the LOADER.EXE file and restored the original JMP at 0100 to the beginning of the actual Freedom loader. The fact that the program had a JMP at 0100 indicated that it was probably originally a COM file, so I stripped the EXE header [and PE's loader] from LOADER.EXE and resaved it out as FREEDOM.COM. Following this, I disabled the doc check, which was more complicated than I had originally anticipated. If anyone would like to see a good reason to stop using Turbo Pascal, just step through the code in this game. It's probably the most inefficient code I've ever encountered. You'll see many repetitions of: CMP [condition] JZ _True JMP _False _True ... Instead of the obvious replacement: CMP [condition] JNZ _False _True ... ...and other similarly horrible code. Yuck! Long live optimizing compilers! Microsoft C 6.00 rules! The loader, as usual, is from Alan Flynn. Xenomorph will be released in the next day or so from your friends at PSI. Oh yeah, call Trump Towers at (206)471-xxxx [leave mail to Trump Jr on Fungus Land or Edge of Sanity for the number/access] See ya, -=Bad Brains=- Greets to all who are cool: Ras, Trump Jr, Bhubha, PSI guys, NYC, THG, FiRM %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
