Game Hack
#306285 - 03/26/13 04:27 AM


Can anyone connect me with somebody who does game hacks? I'm interested in a hack of Bally/Sente Trivial Pursuit that uses questions from the RPM (Music) version of the board game. I'm willing to type up the question/answer list if someone is able to do the hack.

That one might be tricky...... Most of the hacks in MisFit Mame and the newer one are Graphics hacks. I thought I read somewhere (long time ago) that the questions and answers in TP were encrypted. I could be wrong though.

If it's encrypted then you would basically need a program that does mame's decryption of it, saves it decrypted, then re-encrypts it after you've made your changes. The problem is the only people you will find who can do it are devs and it's enough of a pain in the ass to charge money for and they are always reluctant to take money.

Bummer. It's too bad they couldn't hack TP in such a way that you can load your own question sets from a spreadsheet or a text file, because that would kill a thousand birds with one stone. There were a lot of versions of the board game that, IMHO, deserved arcade treatment.

You might be able to get someone to write you a program to do it for free or for money but in my experience it's going to be unlikely to work out.
