Welcome to V-Load v0.9á by ONYX [former Razor 1911 Cracker] ----------------------- Disclaimer: ----------- V-Load v0.9á was originally designed to allow the members of my former group RAZOR 1911 to link any kind of intros to their releases. However, due to my personal inactivity, I got kicked out of the group a while ago, and so I didn't bother to complete V-Load. So, I'm releasing this version including the source code and everything just for the hell of it. Please note that I'm still looking for a new IBM group, so if you're interested leave mail to 'ONYX' on Elusive Dream, PITS, BoomTown or SpamLand. Purpose of V-Load: ------------------ V-Load allows you to link your own intro (or almost any type of EXE-file) to any other EXE file. The only requirement is, that the first .EXE which usually is some kind of intro, must NOT have any overlays attached to it. To be honest with you: if your intro does need overlays, it's only a sign of your limited programming skills. So, code a real intro that doesn't need overlays and there you go.... Future versions of V-Load might include command line options that will allow the user to encrypt the finished EXE file, remove the V-Load and intro part, extract the original EXE and tons of other useful crap. It could be a nice idea to write a trainer which you can then link to an existing game, well this is only a guess somewhere in the back of my head. How to use it: -------------- I strongly recommend using this program only, if you're an experienced ASM programmer or cracker. Others don't even bother to look at it. For a quick-start, you can link V-Load and your intro in front of any EXE file like this: COPY /B VLOAD.EXE + INTRO.EXE + CUSTOM_EXE.EXE FINISHED.EXE This will copy VLOAD your INTRO and the CUSTOM_EXE to a file called FINISHED.EXE V-Load should work with all kinds of Dos-Extenders and shit, at least, I've tried various versions of the DOS/4GW-Extender and it worked fine. Of course there could be dozens of features added to this, but since I don't have any programs to crack and attach it to, I don't really care. If you have any ideas for improvement etc. Don't hesitate and call The Elusive Dream, BoomTown, SpamLand or the PITS and lemme know. signed: ONYX Ex-Razor 1911 Cracker
