Here is a ton of hacks for B-Wing but make sure that you have the original disks
handy, just in case anything goes drastically wrong.
First, back up bflight.ovl to bflight.old. Open the file bflight.ovl using a
hex editor such as PC Tools. For unlimited missiles on all fighters go to
address 132AO. Find the sequence: FE 8F 13 01 and change it to: 90 90 90 90.
This is useful when you have lots of corvettes and frigates to destroy.
The hacks to increase the strength of your shields are different for each
fighter. Find the following sequences and change them to 98 3A 98 3A 04 00 34 08
FIGHTER ADDRESS SEQUENCE
X-Wing 2C370 C4 09 C4 09 04 00 34 08
Y-Wing 2C450 A6 0E A6 0E 04 00 68 10
A-Wing 2C530 C4 09 C4 09 04 00 DC 05
B-Wing 2D250 88 13 88 13 04 00 9C 18
When you're playing, the shields will take some time to charge. Obviously you
want to charge both shields and lasers to maximum. Divert power from the laser
to the shield to speed things up. This will slow the fighter down but you can
increase speed and acceleration by changing the following sequence to: F4 01 63
FIGHTER ADDRESS SEQUENCE
X-Wing 2C380 E1 00 0C
Y-Wing 2C480 B4 00 08
A-Wing 2C540 0E 01 10
B-Wing 2D260 CD 00 0C
Save the changes and exit. Copy bflight.ovl (the newly changed one) to
bflight.cht. If you want the play the original, unhacked version copy
bflight.old to bflight.ovl. If you want to play the cheat copy then copy
bflight.cht. If you're still hopeless even with a super-charged B-Wing then this
final hack will slow the Imperial forces down to a snail's pace. Open the hacked
bflight.cht and change the following sequences to: 19 00 0A. That should help
some.
