ANCIENT LAND OF YS ------------------ I saved this one for last, because this was the strangest to do. There are two disks to worry about changing things on, and the program is real finicky about stuff. Anyway, first off, the deprotect. The protection is on the data disk, so, COPY the data disk (may as well do the program disk while you're at it), and make the following changes: Block Bytes From To ------------------------------ 3BF 70-71 F0 03 EA EA (Crack by Jim Maricondo) Now the game is deprotected. To make it run on the HD, we need to do some very careful work. First, there are 2 disks. This means we have to make two folders for this game, one to hold the PROGRAM disk, and one for the DATA disk. Doing the data folder is similar to the Zany golf idea, only this time we'll name the folder Y (makes a strange sort of sense, doesn't it?), so that our pathname becomes /H1/Y (see note about hard drive name in the Zany Golf section). So, what we want to do, is first search the PROGRAM disk for the string DATA. When found, change it to H1/Y. Note --- Be very careful about the case of the letters, i.e. - if it's on the disk as data, then replace it with h1/y, and vice-versa. If you don't do this, the program won't run. Don't ask me why, but it *IS* important. Also, change *EVERY* occurence you come across, even if it looks like a prompt (i.e. - Please insert the DATA Disk becomes Please insert the H1/Y Disk) Don't ask me why this also has to be done, but the game won't work without it! There is no reference to /PROGRAM on the program disk, since the boot program is only a 1 block file that runs the main program which is on the DATA disk. This is why the protection is on the DATA disk. Now we turn to the DATA disk. Again, search for any occurence of DATA, replacing each one with H1/Y. I leave out the leading slash, because they do on the disk, and searching for it won't find it if it's not htere, eh? Next we have the name PROGRAM to worry about. I named this folder ALYS (for Ancient Land of YS), so the whole pathname becomes /H1/ALYS, which just fits /PROGRAM. So, (you see this coming?) search out for PROGRAM, and replace all occurences with H1/ALYS. (See note about upper/lower case above) Now (finally), copy the contents of the COPY of the DATA disk to the folder called Y, and the contents of the COPY of the PROGRAM (minus ProDOS and the SYSTEM folder) to the folder ALYS. And you're running Ancient Land of Ys from a hard drive! BTW, you must still save to a floppy named USER. I tried to change USER to H1/Y, just like DATA, and the game was saved, but when I went to restore it, the game showed no files to restore!
