Modifications
Remove SafeDisc protection
It's the year 2024, discDisc swaps are pretty much gone by today's standards. But Sega Rally 2 wasn't released when that year,was the case, and sadly the original crack done by CiFE is considered lost media (pretty wild considering that it is a scene crack!). So, in order to avoid having to deal with mounting the second CD, here is what you have to do.
Prerequisites:
- Any hex editor
Steps to follow:
- Open with the hex editor the file called SEGA RALLY 2.exe
- Change the following bytes in the offset 000269C0:
Byte |
Old value |
New value |
06 |
0F |
90 |
07 |
8C |
90 |
08 |
3C |

09 |
FF |

0A |

0B |

3. Change the following bytes in the offset 00026B60:
Byte |
Old value |
New value |
08 |
E8 |

0C |

Notes:
This patch only works for the original European and American releases of the game, so it will not work for the Spanish release (the Japanese one is not confirmed to include SafeDisc as DRM).
