okay I now know HOW to crack the game, I just gotta write the x86 assembly.

normal people don't do this. normal people don't write 16bit DOS assembly in 2025.

I have 37 bytes. this won't be hard

and... it doesn't work.
tertiary copy protection?

I think they might be depending on the value of the weird sector elsewhere. like they're loading it SOMEWHERE, maybe they overwrite some code?

I need a comparative DOS CPU tracer.

Like, load two copies of the same EXE, and run until the execution diverges

@foone@digipres.club Remind me so much of old 68k protections on late ST games.

Jay it works. Wait, why can't I control anything on level 2...
