-------------General Hacking Help-------------
Hacking is pretty straightforward, you continue moving from drive to drive,
using the newly accessed commands to drive you deeper down the rabbit hole.
If you decide to have a go at it by yourself, please note that any time you
type in a command, it appears in the command column at the left, so just
move over there and click on it instead of typing it out each time. There
are even many commands that allow the seconday action to pop up over there
as well (the DIR command for example will pop up the contents of any prev-
iously listed drive or folder)
Below is a list of most of the commands (these are the .EXE files) found
while hacking, and what they do. The prenthesis after each contains the
drive you will find it on.
REBOOT (A) - restarts the system if you get stuck, start all over
HELP (A) - if you type another command after HELP, it tells you what
the second command does (kind of like this guide)
CLS (A) - clears the screen
LOGIN (A) - allows you do get into the network
DIR (A) - shows all of the files or folders in a specific drive or folder
EXIT (A) - leave hacking
READ (A) - used to view .TXT files
ECHO (A) - repeats whatever you type after ECHO (useless?)
VIBRATION (A) - vibrates the controller
BEEP(A) - makes a series of beeps
CHEAT(A) - enter cheat codes into the current save game file you are using
VIEW (B) - used to look at images, maps, art, etc.
VIRTUAL (B) - used to access the virtual network drive
TRACEKILL (B) - will terminate a trace program
DROP (B) - will stash weapons into your saved game file if you know the
appropriate codes
PLAY (B) - used to view the FMV files
DECODE (B) - can decode items found in 'the real world'
ROOTSEARCH (V) - designed to find the password to the ROOT folder
DIAL (V) - calling phone numbers
MAIL (V) - access an email account
PORTKEY(V) - opens a PORT with an appropriate code
TRAINING (RAM) - can access training scenarios
HANDSHAKE (RAM) - reaches out to vessels patroling in 'the real world'
READBIO (RAM) - can read BIOs of characters from the game
EMP (LOGOS) - fires an Electro Magnetic Pulse (a weapon for Sentinels)
-----
* ENCODE - this allows you to code a word and use it in DECODE later
this command is only available in PAL (mostly European)
versions of the game
-------------------Story-------------------
Obviously, if you bought this game you are familiar with the story of the
Matrix. However, if you have yet to see 'Final Flight of the Osiris' then
you should know that the Osiris was a hover ship (like Morpheus' from the
original movie) that goes to the surface of the Eart and finds that an army
of Sentinels are massing around a huge digging machine. The machine is
positioned above Zion, so the last sanctuary of humans is in serious
jeopardy. The Osiris is detected, so they decide to jack into the Matrix
to try and get the message out of what they witnessed. Just before their
ship explodes, they manage to get a package in the mail.
Technically, you don't need to know any of this to play through the hacking
section, but if you're like me, you will want to step over to the actual
game once and awhile (if nothing else, to boost the amount of unlocked files
you will find in the hacking section)
----------------Walkthrough----------------
Below is a copy of exactly what will appear on your TV screen. I took the
shortest route possible to unlock all of the drives and folders. In a later
version, I might include some of the other things you can play with while
hacking, but for now, this will just get everything available to you. There
are some areas where you will find five astericks (*****). This indicates
that I have included something that is not directly on your screen (such as
a voice talking to you). Finally, note the five astericks in the section
for unlocking the B drive's tools with a binary code. This is to indicate
that the code will be different every time you play. You will go through
a few attempts before finding the one you need. Okay, let's turn that
computer on!

Hi... Sparks here... I can't chat for long, I am monitoring
Sentinel Activity in this area.
What's up?
NOTHING
Hold on, I see you accessing my disk drive.
You're getting good!
Thanks for that file you just sent me... What is it?
WHAT FILE
Hold on, can't chat now, that file you gave me is corrupting
the screen...
OH SHIT! -It was a Trojan. It's infecting our onboard computers...
It's trying to find a broadcast output. Trying to shut it down...
It's rung the bell, I'm scanning movement. -Sentinels inbound.
The virus is spreading. It's locking down my controls... I've
lost control of our EMP, my monitors are down... If you're
reading this, run EMP.EXE on the LOGOS drive. You have the only
port open to my onboard computer...
A:\> EMP
He he he... I was just kidding! Holy crap, no need to take me
seriously! You would have left me without a pot to piss in if
the EMP had really fired.
Oops, I forgot.
I have unlocked a present for you.
Think of it as a gift, for doing so well.
It's in the loading section.
Enjoy! :)
I also tried to record a message from Neo for you. Got most of
it...
File downloading...
Audio file playing: 22Khr
*****Neo says,"I know you're there, I can feel you. You
*****possess great skills. Now its your turn - follow the
*****white rabbit."
I agree with him about the skills bit.
If you find any white rabbits, I'll do the cooking... :P
Time we both got back to the mission.
You're done here, Bye.
Disconnected.....

*****When talking with Trinity and Sparks, they ask you questions.
*****If you put in any response then the one expected, you can get
*****an odd reply. Such as, when Trinity asks you if you're having
*****any trouble, and you say something like "I LOVE YOU" or "BITE
*****ME" she will respond with "Right back at you! :)"

*****COWBOYBOB will activate the same response. If you are currently
*****logged in as someone else (GUEST maybe) you will have to REBOOT
*****and begin the hacking process over to input a new login name.
