Re: Pirates! COMPUTIST deprotect and HD mods

[EDavis <LNUSMNF.EDAVIS02@eds.com>]

Rubywand, I attempted the deprotect method posted by you from the 
Computist.  Everything worked fine, EXCEPT....

When I start a new game from the de-protected disk, NONE of the
towns show up.  I am in an "unsettled" Carribean.  If I boot the
de-protected disk, and load a previously saved game, it appears to 
work fine.

I am using Locksmith (v8.3?) to do the byte scanning.  Just for grins,
I tried repeating the process outlined in the post, but checked for
a second occurence of each string that was mentioned, (in case I was
editing the wrong string, and messing up the wrong file).  The strings
appear to be unique, with only one occurence of each on the entire disk.


Anyone else experience a similar problem? Any ideas how to correct?

I LOVE Pirates!.  I actually have two legit games, complete with doc's
and maps.  BUT, one of the original disks is already flakey, so I can 
only play off the other.  I would really like to be able to back up
this disk before I am Pirates!-less.

Thanks.
