Unprotect for Zany Golf patched by Electronic Arts   by Independent (IND)

April 30, 1989 - Original Patch Released ----------------------------------------------------------- May 4, 1989 - Revision Patch made to smaller number of bytes, no functional change from 4/30/89 original patch. ----------------------------------------------------------- Bart Montgomery As a programmer, I hate to see such a cute little gem of a game contain any eyesore or flaw. In the case of "Zany Golf", the eyesore is the request to enter a code from a code-wheel before proceeding on to the second hole. Accordingly, I have developed a patch so that this "enter code" request is not made and the game proceeds as normal. INSTRUCTIONS 1) Copy the files: ZANYFIX.BAT TZANYFIX.BAT PAT.EXE to the diskette or hard disk sub-directory the contains the Zany Golf program files. 2) At the DOS prompt, type (without quotes) "ZANYFIX" to patch the IBM version ZANY.COM. Type (without quotes) "TZANYFIX" to patch the Tandy version TZANY.COM. 3) After the patch is completed, you may delete the files ZANYFIX.BAT, TZANYFIX.BAT and PAT.EXE which you obtained from this archive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alternate Method: For those people familiar with the sector editors found in PC-Tools and Norton's Utilities, you may perform the patch as follows: To patch ZANY.COM Search for this five byte hex string: 84 C0 E8 15 61 Replace the first byte of this string: C3 To patch TZANY.COM Search for this five byte hex string: 84 C0 E8 10 61 Replace the first byte of this string: C3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bart Montgomery PC-Rockland BBS (914) 353-2176
