Hack Minigame Tips
1 of 5: See Appendix 1 in the game manual for info on the hack minigame.
2 of 5: Remember to avoid all red-coded segments, and quickly scan the scrolling code segment rows for a match to the target code.
3 of 5: Use both the "shape" and colors of the target code segment to help you more quickly locate it.
4 of 5: The first target segment is displayed before the hack begins, so memorize it to help you find it faster.
5 of 5: NOTE: You can double the time limit for all hack minigames by buying the Hack Module from the Harrot's Emporium shop on Omega.
