Summary

Syndicate Wars Pre-Alpha Demo hack binary patch. The patch is made using 'diff' on a hex dump, so it can be viewed in a text editor.

Changes

  • Removes forcing packet load mode
  • Changes camera control keys to Del/PgDn (as arrows control your agent)
  • Enables editors (though without proper switching of their states)

Apply method

You need original SYN2.EXE from the demo, and the Linux command line tools used below.

cp SYN2.EXE SYN2.EXE.orig
xxd -g 1 SYN2.EXE.orig > SYN2.EXE.orig.hex
patch -i SYN2.EXE.hex.diff
xxd -r -g 1 SYN2.EXE.orig.hex > SYN2.EXE
This is a patch file designed to modify a(n) DOS game.
