Hudson Hawk demo - is this even completable?
I'm talking about the demo that came on The One round the arse end of '91. It has to be a strong contender for most irritating game demo of all.
![]() Tell me, has anybody EVER managed to beat this bloody thing? Is there an actual ending? |

If I had any knowledge whatsoever of Action Replay and how to patch games with it I would.
![]() ![]() Perhaps you could teach me how to disable collision detection in the demo as well? ![]() |

right I managed to find the location in memory and to disable the timer
![]() All I need to do now is figure out how to save it to disk ![]() The main .exe is compressed but I'm not sure about what with... Maybe one of the experienced programmers can briefly explain how I go about finding out where in memory the program first loads so I can save it to disk/edit it and then re-pack it ![]() |

Usually it's simpler to leave the original file alone and add a different loader:
1. LoadSeg the file 2. Patch the part after the decruncher so it returns to your code 3. Let the original code run - it'll return to you after depacking 4. Alter the bytes you need to disable the timer 5. Restart the game code Depacking and repacking the files is a pain and this principle is used by most trainer makers. They often copy their code to very low memory like $c0 or $100 and that is pretty safe. And it means you don't have to change the original file, repack etc... |
