How to (Pre) Hack "Epic Combo!" With a Hex Editor

[picklecow10]

First Post Guys, hope you enjoy it

Epic Combo! is a sort-of new game by jmtb02 (the maker of games like This is the Only Level and Achievement Unlocked). It's AS3 Encrypted, and can't be decompiled by just using Sothink to make it into a .fla.

I know a lot of people here will be easily able to spend some time and hack it on their own, but if you're not one of those people (or you're just too lazy to!) then here is an easy tutorial, using only a Hex Editor. (and a .swf decompiler tool)

1) Download Epic Combo! to your PC.
I can't speak for other browsers, but for Firefox, you can go to this link:
http://cache.armorgames.com/files/games ... o-6677.swf
And going to Tools>Page Info>Media>Save As...
(Although I'm sure you guys can get the .swf on your own!)

2) Get Swifty Here:
http://buraks.com/swifty/swfc.html
And save it to your PC.

3) Drag and Drop the .swf onto "swfdecomp.exe" (Swifty). This should decompress it to a regular .swf file.

4) Open up your .swf file in a Hex Editor, like "HxD" (That's what I'll be using). Make sure the first three letters of the file spell "FWS", otherwise you messed up somewhere in Step 3 (how'd you pull that one off?)

5) Figure out how to Replace Hex Values in your Hex Editor. For HxD, it's Search>Replace. Open up the Replace Window, and make sure where it says "Datatype" (or something similar) you have it set to "Hex-values".

6) Replace the series of Hex-Values below. For example, take the first set:

Turrets Add Money:
66 AB 01 D0 66 F4 01 A1
66 AB 01 D0 66 F4 01 A0

In the "Search For" box, put "66 AB 01 D0 66 F4 01 A1"
In the "Replace With" box, put "66 AB 01 D0 66 F4 01 A0"
Hit Replace.

Do that for the rest of these codes:

Lasers Add Money:
66 AB 01 D0 66 B2 01 A1
66 AB 01 D0 66 B2 01 A0

Buzzsaws Add Money:
66 AB 01 D0 66 AC 01 A1
66 AB 01 D0 66 AC 01 A0

Mines Add Money:
66 AB 01 D0 66 E9 01 A1
66 AB 01 D0 66 E9 01 A0

Launchers Add Money:
66 AB 01 D0 66 E0 01 A1
66 AB 01 D0 66 E0 01 A0

Valves Add Money:
2C 9D 09 A0 66 83 05 A1
2C 9D 09 A0 66 83 05 A0

Super Hammer: (Hit All On-Screen Turtles)
66 FB 01 66 A3 02 24 02
66 FB 01 66 A3 02 24 1F

Now Save the File, and open up Epic Combo! To test the new mods out.

Hope I made the tutorial easy to follow (and not too boring!)

One more note:
I've been on a lot of forums before, but this one has the most smileys by far. Awesome
