On version 1.05 of ICR both myself and a friend have discovered that pressing
enter at the password prompt takes you straight in.

Not much point. It's available on FTP if he looks hard enough anyway...

Uh, Jed..... I think you've basically just told everyone that you and
your friend have two pirated copies of Indycar. Nice work. :-)
Indycar 1.05 won't let you bypass the password entry unless you've
hex-edited the executable and changed this one hex-string which I
can't remember off the top of my head. Unless the UK version is
different or something? Anyway, my US version 1.05 certainly didn't
allow me to just hit enter... I had to do the hex-edit.

Someone mentioned it's available by ftp somewhere. Much as I'd like to, I
wouldn't feel right just handing it out here, so search around for it...

BTW. I would like the hex-edit info also.

I think there must be a difference between the european and the US version
of ICR because I have discovered the same thing Jed has. I bought the Track
Pack which includes the 1.05 version and I don't have to enter the password
anymore (in fact, I didn't hex-edit the game).

OK, here goes.... 'Jed is NOT, I repeat NOT, a crook!' :-) Sorry 'bout
that...

ACtually, I believe WEn-Kai lives in Oregon, USA, so that's not gonna
work. My US Indycar version 1.05 didn't allow that without doing the
hex-edit. Sounds like there may be a difference between the US and
foreign versions.

Yeah, ask him what word 5 on line 9 of page 39 is. Oopps make that page 38.
Either he paid for the game or his friend finally got him a copy of the manual.
At 10 cents a copy it is almost cheaper to buy the game.
And the password is really annoying.
Wayne Martin
There's a sheet of passwords that I've seen floating around. Some guy was
so bored that he decided to sit down and type 'em all in I guess. Anyway,
no need for 10 cents a copy if you've got access to that. As cheap as you
can get Indycar for these days, though, I almost think it's worth buying
it so you can read what the manual has to say! Especially if you're
clueless about setting up the car, like I was before I read thru it.
