Title: F/A 18 Code Wheel Translator
Post by: mistermsk on September 22, 2013, 09:40:34 PM
Good day. I bought F/A 18 Interceptor off of e-bay. However, the package did not include the Code Wheel. I found that Lex Landa made a nice linux bash script that does it. However, I did not have access to my linux machine next to me but I did have may smart phone. Now I could of SSHed into my linux server but that is a lot of time and I never could find a good SSH client with good macros for my smart phone.

So, I got Lex Landa's permission to use his script to share to everyone and modified it to be in a web browser.

Have fun guys and keep on gaming!

Or better yet use Maverick, Lockpic or Project D or similar program and make a copy that patches the game to remove it all together. ;)

I bought this game back way back in the day and one of the first things I did was patch the executable so that it no longer needed that freakin' code wheel.  One of best moves I ever made including buying this game.  An awesome game for its time.  I hate to think of the hours I wasted playing it!

Cool! I got F/A 18 Interceptor in a kit deal I bought around 6 months ago and I guess it's about time I play it :)

Where can I find this patch? Sounds so much easier than having the laptop up and running when I want to play the game.

If you use the whdload installer, the codewheel protection is removed automatically. http://www.whdload.de/games/F-18Interceptor.html (http://www.whdload.de/games/F-18Interceptor.html)
