I loved the hell out of this game when I was a kid, and now I want to (now that I got a hold of it agian, for which my thank's go to underdog.com) open it up (programming-wise) and add in new mech's, cheat a little, so on. how can you open these files' though?

You want to do that? Really? :w00t:

Finally someone like myself!

Register an account here first and PM me, then I'll PM you all materials on altering BT1 that I managed to find over the net. :ok:

Oh, yes, you'll need a hexeditor too. Hex Workshop will do just right (used it myself)

PS. I had some serious fun there. The game has a few limitations, though. First the name length of mechs (you cannot alter them beyond original ones), second - you only can have 10 weapons total. No more.

I used to play Battletech with friends in middle school. The first game I got for the first computer we owned with a cdrom was Mechwarrior 2.

So of course, when I saw Powerhits I jumped on it.

I remember the first copy protection thing, it was like a quiz naming the parts on a stinger or wasp.

I made it to the starmap at the end but didn't have a clue what to do. The book that came with powerhits was no help.

can anyone tell me how come the game doesn't run under windows xp? is there something i can do to make it run? thank you for your help.

by "the game" i meant mechwarrior 2....

That's a game which is not featured on the site, so you should post in the troubleshooting forum. Somebody there should be able to help you (or at least tell you that it's definitely impossible to run the game in XP). It will probably also be helpful if you try to make your post as detailed as possible, i.e. don't just say "it doesn't work in Windows XP", state what error messages (if any) you get and what exactly happens when you try to run the game in XP. If you've unsuccessfully tried running it in DOSBox, describe what errors you get there.

Mechwarrior 2 does not run under Windows XP, even the Titanium Trilogy version. Try Microsoft Virtual PC with Windows 98 installed, should do the trick.

:D

I have a problem with this game.It's about the exam,I have no idea about mech parts(i have a instruction from net but it's not working).Og and one more thing i'm playing on WinUAE.
Can you help me?
:sneaky::

HOTU used to have that, IIRC, but... they're gone.
But here is a site on old Battletech games that has this and the other copy protection solutions (there is another copy protection at the end of game): http://www.fortunecity.com/tatooine/aldiss...Helpful%20Hints
