Here I am back again

Target game: Might & Magic 6 v1.1 (patched)

Things you need:

Hiew 6.04
Soft-Ice 3.24 or better
W32Dasm 8.93
Mm6 v1.1 patch (1.6 mb)

Ready, get set, go!

Step 1.	Start with full install (include extra graphics) and after installation patch the game 
to version 1.1. Now make the necessary backups of mm6.exe (.w32 & .bak). Ok... now we're ready 
to start cracking. Put a breakpoint on GetDriveTypeA (bpx getdrivetypea) in Soft-Ice. Start 
mm6 and it won't take long until SI breaks. Get the hex # of the place where you landed 
(should be 458163). Clear breakpoint (bc*) and load mm6.w32 on W32Dasm. Disassembling is quickly
done and you're ready to goto line 458163. So make your way to there.

:00458163 83F805               cmp eax, 00000005 <-- Is cd in drive?
:00458166 750B                 jne 00458173 <-- no, jump
:00458168 8ACB                 mov cl, bl
:0045816A E8F1FBFFFF           call 00457D60
:0045816F 84C0                 test al, al
:00458171 7532                 jne 004581A5 <-- you naughty cracker...go away...

* Referenced by a (U)nconditional or (C)onditional Jump at Address:

This is all we need. As you probably already guessed, we need to change the last jump to je, 
instead of jne. Hiew and mm6.exe are excellent combination for doing this job. Decode mode, 
goto line, and @offset number (which should be 57571). 

When you got to correct place and line, press F3 and change 75 --> 74, so it will look like 
this: 7432.After you're finíto with this, start mm6 and it bypasses the check and you can freely 
play it without the cd present =)... Kewl
