    is how dumb it is.

    I started with Gemini asking it to create a patch to mark an abandonware game as registered and it refused.

    After several attempts at forcing it, Gemini did off to assist me using a debugger to look at code and after a few hours of experimentation, not only did it write me the assembly code to patch the binary, it also wrote me a very nice lay persons guide on how it is accomplished on a generic basis.

    This could open the door to finding ways to finally get abandonware games that cannot be registered by usual means into a registered status.

    If anyone has any games they'd like me to attempt then let me know:
    1. Download location of the latest version of the game
    Note, these should be 16 bit DOS games. I'm not trying to do Windows
    binaries.

    2. That you have made a good faith effort to find the owner of the game

    3. If the owner finds you and asks for payment, you pay up, once you've
    confirmed they're legit, of course.

    I'm also interested in games that are not running properly under DOSEMU2.

    Thanks,
