Goldeneye - Four different Bonds

[spoondiddly]

One of the beta features that were stripped from the final release was that each folder on the main menu had a different Bond actor. Well the images were never deleted (England has a tax on the replacement of Delete keys) but the code to select them was.

These patches replace the feature and (fingers crossed) shouldn't break anything else ;*) Just use the corresponding patch for your version game. Get it here!

If you can't decide on a patching utility to use, why not use the Goldeneye Setup Editor's built in IPS applicator? Get it at rarewitchproject.com

Note: Sorry this is only available in patch form. The code list was about 140 lines before it was obvious half of the stuff needed to be moved to a different address to avoid breaking certain stages. (stupid compressed binaries)

I am not sure whether it is ok to post in this thread after such a long time, but still I do so.

The GoneisGone-blog posted the real deal why it this feature was scrapped:
Why was this feature removed? It is as simple as this: Not all the actors agreed to appear in the game. As a compensation Rare got the permission to add four villains from James Bond movies: May Day, Jaws, Oddjob and Baron Samedi.

This would confirm that story:
A new Bond film seems to be released every few years. But there's quite a gap between License to Kill (1989) and Goldeneye (1995). Apparently, Timothy Dalton who starred in License to Kill had a dispute with MGM, and didn't want to be involved with MGM or James Bond again.

When Rareware was creating Goldeneye 007, Dalton somehow found out. Since he didn't want to be associated with James Bond anymore, Rare had all kinds of legal issues to deal with. As a result, the 'All Bonds' characters were dropped from the game.

Don't...do that.

Yes, do that. He added to the topic, rather than just saying "lol, qft!" or something like that.

I appriciate the deeper look into the topic.
