Grin......good try! Maybe your friend can copy it for you as well.
I have been playing Indy Car Racing for quite some time now, is
there anyway around the copy protection? It is really anoying having to
dig up my manual everytime I want to play IRC.

Yeah, but people like me who have a legitimate copy of the game hate
digging through the manual every time we boot it up too. Hmmmm.... if
there were only some way for Wen-Kai to verify that he actually paid for
a copy of the game, I'd be happy to divulge the hex-edit he
needs to do to get around the password protection. But, there's no way
to do that that I can think of...... sorry, Wen-Kai! Any suggestions as
to how he can prove he owns the game?

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...
John
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.

ahhh, the "straightforward" approach. Presumably, if someone copied the game,
they either (a) copied the manual too, or (b) can call their friend who bought
the game and has the manual.
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...

The only way to get around the copy protection is to get indycar ver1.05 probably available
from papyrus and with 1.05 you just have to press enter when the code screen comes up.

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).
Bye, Michael

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.
