I hope you know what you are doing! You DO know that the pirates will most likely find every different version of Xenocide, find all the changes that need to be made to deprotect each version, create a PROGRAM that analyzes a backup of the Xenocide disk and decides which patches to make if any... Try as you might, the pirates will beat your CP code in the end... I'd say g'luck, but I DO really hate copy protection... I haven't taken a looksee at Xenocide, but I have heard that its a wonderful game. I HAVE taken a look at some of your 24 hour games. Those are REAL nice not even considering the time you put into them. You guys sure like playing with sound digitizers, don't you! :)
