Since I have sentimental feelings for this game, I want to help out. At the moment, I've got a big time-sucking MMORPG server emulation project running. However, for this, I would make some spare time. (http://www.lex-ro.com, for those interested)
I have a hell of a lot of experience in C(++) and ASM. I hope I can help you guys out on the patch! Seems like an awful lot of work for me ^_^.
