It's below as base64 encoded text (so you have to decode it with some tool, eg. openssl):

You just have to copy-paste text to notepad and save it to AI.txt -text file (without any blanklines) and decode it. Then copy AI.COM to Alien Incidents -directory.

For example:

1. Download and install OpenSSL for windows (its free) from http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html (I suggest this: http://www.slproweb.com/download/Win...SSL-1_0_0c.exe)
2. Save text -file to C:\AI.txt
3. Open windows command-prompt and goto openssl -directory and decode text-file to an COM-file:

C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin>cd \

C:\>cd OpenSSL-Win32\bin

C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin>openssl base64 -d -in C:\AI.txt -out C:\AI.COM

4. Now you got patched version of AI.COM. So copy this AI.COM -file to Alien Incident -directory (you have to overwrite the old file)

5. Run game


If you got games animation-files, just copy them to Alien Incidents CDA-directory and watch them. It works without CD.

Is there a way to make this patch work for mac os x?

If you use dosbox to play the game on your mac, it should work like it works on a windows machine.

You need working base64 decoder to "rebuild" AI.COM file.
Openssl for macintosh or maybe some other program.
There are actually some websites which can do decoding for you, use them if you trust them

Not working.

started DosBox, mounted game's directory, ran setup.exe -> autodetect (sets itself to Soundblaster16), ran ai.exe
Result: does some requirement-check, says at the last line "No CD-Rom drivers found", and sets back to normal dos-mode.

It doesn1t start, doesn't do anything.

The "how to run the game" says this:
"Before you can play the game, you must first configure it with setup.exe. I found choosing the Sound Blaster 16 option worked well with DOSBox. Then, when the game is configured properly, you start it by selecting a file called AI. The game should start and play smoothly from then on."

Am I missing anything?

Install MSCDEX in DOSBox (mount any drive, folder or CD-image as CD-ROM).

Got the game to work after reading the posts and mounting the cd rom..however when I run the game I cannot seem to move the cursor out of the game environment? in other words I cannot close dosbox down...well I can but only by using the ctrl+f9 command! This has also happened in other games...any ideas as to what is happening?

It's normal. ALT+TAB to another program and the mouse will work.
