Unprotect Sierra On-Line's 3D Space Quest II   by Independent (IND)

This procedure will enable you to unprotect Sierra On-Line's 3D Space Quest II game. The procedure is based on an unprotect procedure for KING'S QUEST III, by an unknown author. There are two files included in this ARC package: 1. SQ2.DOC - This file 2. SQ2.DAT - Supplementary file needed during DEBUG session. The procedure is relatively simple: 1) Put a blank, formatted diskette in drive B, and the SPACE QUEST II Disk #1 in drive A, then at the A> prompt, COPY *.* B:. Then put Disk #1 away - you won't need it anymore! 2) Load DEBUG, making sure both SQ2.COM (on the backup disk) and SQ2.DAT (from this package) are both in the current path or on the default drive. 3) Use DEBUG to patch SQ2.COM -N SQ2.COM -L -R (Record value of CX register) -N SQ2.DAT -L 141 -E 3C1 XXXX:03C1 E8.90 2E.90 04 .90 -N SQ2.COM -R CX CX 0080 :???? (Enter value of CX you recorded) -W -Q 4) That's all there is to it. SPACE QUEST II is now unprotected.
