From Vyacheslav Mednonogov To All 27 March 1999

Get Msg, All! Because We rarely read left-wing newspapers, so I want to post a subject :) Taken from Impul's #3: === Cut === ░ ░ ░ ░▒░▒░▒▓░▓░▓░▓█▓█▓██▓█████ ████████▓██▓█▓█▒▓▒▓▒░▒░▒░ ░ ░ ░ ░ ░ ░ PIRATES ARE TOOKING THE LAST MONEY FROM MednoNogov! ░ ░ ░ ░ ░ ░ ░▒░▒░▒▓░▓░▓░▓█▓█▓██▓█████ ████████▓██▓█▓█▒▓▒▓▒░▒░▒░ ░ ░ ░ (C) DELTA The full version is finally out the most global, the largest, the most cool release of 1997/1998. Undoubtedly This is "Black Raven". This is the game, oh which everyone has said so much about lazy, numerous publications constantly published an interview with the author, as well as reviews of demo versions. Multiple demo versions (and there were already 5 of them) only increased the excitement around this product. And finally it came out, the full version. Naturally, it was impassable :) Then another one came out, how things went next I I don’t know, because I'm pretty happy considerable distance from St. Petersburg and could not know the events that took place there. Well, finally, Ch8 came to our city - hero. Here I, taking this opportunity, want to pre- whip and run into MednoNogov at least on two points. This is: 1. Finding the interrupt vector and program code in SLOW-RAM, because of which the game itself is incredibly slows down. 2. When reading/writing from disk, vectorinterrupts are located in SLOW-RAM, due to Why is there a hardware failure on the "byte" controller and the licensed version does not work melts on two-field wheelbarrows. Horror, and also, as Mythos writes, MednoNogov believes that SCORPION is two-field machine! And this is what the man says, which is considered the best program stoma on SPECCY. He repeats his mistakes for the third time once - he thinks that his defense is with a stack in the screen area will solve the whole problem with illegal copying. Perhaps she will solve the MAGIC problem (although not 100%! It happens, though, MAGIC is furious), but professional hacker who has even a naked 128 Speccy, for all these protections roughly speaking - fuck it, it's just a question time. Why, one might ask, is it so slow? zit? Everyone is sure that this game is in Brest would be spread by more civilized methods if it worked the way it does necessary. And put the so-called button Nobody wants to “block” ULA. Here you personally would enjoy it if before each access to the disk you would you have to press a button? I wrote the word "blocking" is in quotation marks precisely because that this is simply a glitchy thing, which respects hanging out and in every possible way freeze. I personally have such programs no, in which the vector I would be in there is no slow memory, and there never will be, andI don't need such a button... It's easier to fix it programmatically than hardware. Yes, I agree that it's quite sad a brutal attack, rude but justified. Work a big job was really done. Take even QVGA color pictures, but... also cartoons and two FINAL CUT's made in 3D STUDIO MAX. Well, I won’t describe this here game, probably everyone has already seen it. I I want to tell you the story of the ChV in Brest and in Belarus. In Brest I worked on hacking this game a pretty young hacker from the REAL group SOFTWARE. Then she was sent to distribution, and MednoNogov fucked with Brest has only 3 bugs. And for these three Almost half of the bugs were dropped Brest :). The first version was hacked quite clumsily - along with a piece of protection A piece of AI was removed because of this glitch the computer has lost the ability to produce warriors and, of course, everyone went through the game on average 10 hours. Then many more wondered how it was in Minsk people freezes and sits above light levels all day long. In that version it was not yet jammed floppy drive after saving/loading next level. And then a week later the second version was released: it was already there normal AI, but only the disk drive at all stopped jamming after passing next level next level loaded and froze.After that I get a restorer previous versions, there he is, a little after fiddling with the first disk, it saves everything what is needed. As a consequence, this whole thing is Doesn't work for me either - in some levels There are glitches due to which the game does not is being passed. Apparently the hacker accidentally hit a defense that didn't slow down manifest. This is what it means to buy buggy ones pirated copies! I would like to add one more thing What kind of CV I didn’t receive a penny. Although I could really get money for it, just I didn't want to dig into shit, but who- then he had to do it, because if this didn’t happen, people wouldn’t have waited for the full version of this wonderful game. True I am very outraged by the price of the pirated version, she was 140 hares or about 2.7 Bugs. Every day users ran to these guys to change buggy copies (to more glitchy). This is how Syava MednoNogova was “taken for eggs" in Brest. Who knows what would have happened would he deign to supply 10-20 bytes... === Cut === Warm greetings, Slava!
