Monza crack for F1GP

Calling crack boffins, I downloaded a crack hint for F1GP called f1gp.unp. This just gave a list of bytes to search for and change in gp.exe - to set the password to Monza. This works fine until I try to calibrate the joystick - the entire range detected by f1gp is 0000 to 0001; not a useful sensitivity. Back to the manual. Any ideas why this effect is seen? I have v1.05 by the way. Peter

I believe the list of bytes to change is slightly different for different versions - you could have changed the wrong ones. Simon

Where could I find such a crack? I love to play at lunch time, but my boss doesn't like me having the manual around.

Can someone tell me how to change the bytes and such stuff in F1GP for the cracks? Do I need a special program? Thanks Guanyao Cheng -- Guanyao Cheng " Some things in life are important. http://www.uni.uiuc.edu/~gcheng/guanyao.html

I got mine from ftp.uwp.edu:/pub/msdos/romulus/cracks. There are two or three txt files ( f1gp*.txt ) which describe how to 'monza' different versions of the game. I have also a similar txt file, whose instructions gave me unlimited Q-tyres. -- /*=------------------------------------------------------------------------=* 'All those moments, lost in time, like tears in rain.'

try ftp.uwp.edu: /pub/msdos/romulus/cracks the crack there don't give any problems with your joystick

I used f1gp_all.txt - it lists the crack for all versions of the game.

How do you change the bytes and such in the game as described by this crack? Also, the crack patch for F1GP doesn't work. I run the program, and when I run F1GP the copy-protection has some page number and parapragh number in the hundreds. Then, Whatever I type I can't get in the game. I have to reinstall the game.

I used Norton DiskEdit, but you can probably use DOS Debug too (can anyone elaborate on how to do that?) I never tried that one. You _did_ copy GP.EXE somewhere else first in case it went wrong, no? Perhaps the crack program should've mentioned that... -- Gizmo van der HOF -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Launchpad is an experimental internet BBS.
