- GB2FIX - Program to patch Activision's GHOSTBUSTERS II to work with the
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster music card.
-
- When I purchased Ghostbusters II, I was disappointed to find that
- the game did not work unless I unplugged my Sound Blaster. I called
- Activision the next morning. They suggested that I call Creative Labs
- for a patch. Creative Labs sent me a patch disk (it only took 2 days!!!
- and that was over the July 4th holiday!!!) which contained new versions of
- GB.EXE and SHELL.EXE. Through some investigation, I determined that a patch
- program could be devised to correct the problem.
-
- GB2FIX modifies the rogue byte in both GB.EXE and SHELL.EXE. I
- strongly suggest that you DO NOT use this program to modify your original
- disks!!! GB2FIX must be run in the directory that contains both GB.EXE and
- SHELL.EXE and those files must not have the readonly file attribute set. It
- does not hurt to run GB2FIX more than once. Give it a try!!!

- Creative Labs.
