▀█▌ Release Notes: ▀█▄ ░ █
▄■ ▐▓ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄██▄ ▒ █
█ ▄█▀ █ ▓ █
▀▀▀ ░ █ Time for a little change. █ █
▒ █ █ █
█ █ Time for a return to roots of the scene. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Time for blending nostalgia with the present. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Skid Row proudly present our conception of integrating a crack █ █
█ █ intro with a cracked exe. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ This is how it works: █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ After you copy the cracked content over, like you normally do, █ █
█ █ and launch the game like you normally do, then you will be █ █
█ █ presented with a little menu screen. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ This screen has 2 options: █ █
█ █ 1. Launch Game! █ █
█ █ 2. View Intro! █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Option number 1: will launch game like a standard cracked exe. █ █
█ █ Option number 2: will launch our crack intro and upon exiting, █ █
█ █ the game start will start normally. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ This is our solution, on how we wanted to integrate a cracktro █ █
█ █ with the cracked game content. We could have made it without █ █
█ █ the menu screen, by starting the cracktro directly and then on █ █
█ █ exit, then game would start. That method will not work today. █ █
█ █ Because of so many different PC configurations and Windows █ █
█ █ versions, which could for more or less unknown reasons cause █ █
█ █ problems running our cracktro. We didn't wanted our cracktro █ █
█ █ to be a problem on launching the game EXE. The best solution █ █
█ █ is to give sceners those 2 choices above. Our solution will █ █
█ █ not alter the command line functions of the original game EXE, █ █
█ █ if such commands are present in the original version. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ This is how the future of our cracks will look like. This is █ █
█ █ not meant to make the launch of future game titles more █ █
█ █ annoying. - this is done to bring back some scene spirit into █ █
█ █ the scene. A spirit which goes back to the origins of the █ █
█ █ scene, where independent pioneer sceners started to embed █ █
█ █ their nicknames into the games. They simply did this to show █ █
█ █ others what they accomplished. It soon became more and more █ █
█ █ advanced, as these independent people teamed up in groups, to █ █
█ █ build and attach their own programmed introduction screens █ █
█ █ inside the games. Thus, crack intros were born and since then █ █
█ █ have been a major part of the scene. Sadly, in the last couple █ █
█ █ of years this trend has fallen and cracktros became a niche █ █
█ █ thing. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Our best wish is to revert this rather bitter tendency and █ █
█ █ encourage other groups to bring back this great, great █ █
█ █ tradition of the scene to it's formal glory. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Concluding, we want to show others, that a pre with just an █ █
█ █ ordinary NFO file and group tag of the release directory █ █
█ █ totally misses the true point of what scene can and what █ █
█ █ scene should be. Our launch menu conception, intermixes the █ █
█ █ best aspects of two worlds - a homage to tradition while █ █
█ █ maintaining a complete compatibility & versatility of a █ █
█ █ typical cracked EXE. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ We want to stress out, that we took the liberty to include █ █
█ █ one of the best Commodore 64 intros, which have been █ █
█ █ converted to Win32 platforms and customized to fit our needs. █ █
█ █ Of course, it have been kept as true as possible to the █ █
█ █ original. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Special greetings to The Papillons Incorporated for the █ █
█ █ inspiration! █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Thank you for reading! █ █

█ █ to human nature, can easily escalate into a conflict. We are █ █
