Back again

Target game: Sin (Uk) v1.01 (updated)

Tools I used:

Hiew 6.04
Soft-Ice 3.24
W32Dasm v8.93
But no drink this time...but you can turn on TV, choose MTV channel and suffer =)

Yup... Let's get it on.

Step 1.	Make a full install. After it's done, make backups of Sin.exe (.w32 & w.bak).

Step 2.	After you've grabbed the cd out of the drive, start Sin. Everything is fine until 
you press New game. Message box pops-up saying You must have Sin cd ... or similar. 
Load Sin.w32 on W32Dasm. After it's finished goto Strn Ref and find the error message. 
When you find it, d-click on it and you should see this:

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

:00457444 E827530000         call 0045C770  <-- I wonder what this is...

It's pretty obvious what to do. Yes... Launch Hiew and load Sin.exe on it. Decode mode and 
goto line (@offset should be 56844). Then just nop the call out

E827530000 --> 9090909090

Easy... isn't it?...  Exit Hiew and start Sin and try pressing New game button and yeah... 
no complaints on anything!!... You made it! This game was pretty easy... 
but try ripping this game... it's quite hard because the actual files are in the .sin files...
and to be able to do any changes you'd have to write a program to do unpacking for u...
