So, how many posts to I have to have to be able to send/reply to PMs?

OK good. I'll cross THOSE off the list.

Isn't that the div by zero/overflow implementation of the game ? (which assumes an old style div, while newer versions of flight sim want the new style...) I have no idea about this. I'm just a protection bloodhound. :-) Are you saying that it's WORKING? Or that this is what it's going to do …

It's in the DOSBOX conf under machine. https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Dosbox.conf Set the value to CGA and the the Dosbox cycles to fixed and 315 to emulate an XT. THANKS! Found it RIGHT after I posted that. If you know about Flight Sim I, please help. I boot it, I get to choose monitor type, and game …

Thanks! Good to be here! WRT Flight Simulator 1 & 2. Just grabbed 1. Having a look at it now. I only get a garbled screen. I saw something about this ONLY running in CGA mode. Googling how to "lock" DOSBox to CGA now, so that I can tell if I get something GOOD on the screen, vs. something bad.

More than the games, I wish I still had the TOOLS that I wrote. I wrote a tool that would strip Rob Northen's Copylock, and spit out a virgin .exe as if it had never been packed in the first place. I wrote a util that would unpack the .SQZ files that Titus liked to use, and they would go on to …

You can definitely still send me a PM. I just can't reply. So, go ahead! Someone else sent me a PM about old Sierra stuff. And prepare for a shock. During the THG days, I didn't have a PC at home. I cracked all the games at work on my company provided IBM PS/2 55SX. That being the case, I didn't …

Yes, thanks. We (THG) released A LOT of stuff during our "reign of terror". So you probably saw us around. :-) That works fine, thanks for the pointer! (Even though I had already gotten my code to work). If you need DOS cracks, let me know. I have some free time, and could look at them. :-D

I'm an old school DOS games cracker, and throughout my career one thing that I always heard was "But did you ever crack Pirates!"? And the answer was always "No". Well, the time has come. I have an image of the original boot disk (Booter as you guys call it), and it runs under DOSBox. So, I need to …

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I have some experience removing copy protection from DOS games. If you guys really NEED something that doesn't involve Sierra On-Line's SCI interpreter, just let me know. Also, if you check the manual for IM, there should be a thanks to me in there. IIRC.
