| My first hack was years ago on the Atari 800. I purchase a program called a Macro-Assembler and wanted to make a backup copy of it. At the time companies used a bad sector to prevent copying the disk.
So I wrote a disassembler in Atari basic. With this was disassembled the code and found that the program would check a specific disk sector before running. If the sector was bad it would allow you to continue running the program. I found the code that tested for the bad sector and changed it to continue whether the sector was bad or not. |
