Those days it was just a matter of finding the return from the check routine and change a 'jump if equal' to 'jump if not equal', I guess there is more sophisticated methods in use nowadays. Looking at my harddrive I have many programs where you can set the strength to club-level and below (Shredder Classic, Rebel/ProDeo, CM9 with refill, and even in the new CA8 (Delfi)) so I don't think this problem will bother me too much.
