- FAKE20 V.1 by C.Randall on Dec 14, 1993.
- -- A anti-lamer hack.
-
- Ok. I have downloaded many demos since getting InterNet and FTP access and
- many don't work on my 1200 and '030 setup. This pisses me off, but is
- understandable. My computer is quite advanced and 100% backwards
- compatability is impossible. I'll live with it.
-
- But, I see a couple of AGA only demos coming out recently. So I download them
- assuming they will work. The coders are doing this knowing AGA machines can not
- have 68000 and are at least 68020+. But, wo is me.., they assume that *ALL*
- AGA machines are 68020! Mine isn't.
-
- My favorite demo so far is the RednexRevivalIntro. When run on my machine,
- it comes up with a window saying: "Fat piece of shit, you need a 1200."
-
- Sorry to have to tell you this, lame coder, but I *DO* have a 1200.
-
- This is where FAKE20 comes in. Seems that this particular demo not only checks
- to see if AGA is in hardware but checks for bit 1 in the execbase.attnflags
- flag. WHY DO YOU CHECK FOR A 68020 AND AGA???? This seems redundant!!!
-
- Well, all FAKE20 does is a simple change of the execbase->attnflags. This is
- EXTREMELY simple, but most users would not know execbase from a military base.
- So that is why I'm posting this program. Included is source, so you could
- recompile (under 'E' of course.) to make sure no viruses are included as bonuses.
-
- Usage: Just run it from CLI (no WB handling).
-
- Now run the AGA demo. Once the demo is done, REBOOT!!!!
-
- This is a HACK (read: don't do this unless absolutely neccessary.)
-
- This program and source is lamer-ware (Public domain).
- If your wish to register this program (yeah, right), send a new or used copy
- of the RKM's to a known lamer.
-
- (May the future be Degrader free.)
