This is only a Guess
Everything starts from an Executable file, But where does it go to when it starts the Game ? I am more curious as to what an exe does...
1. does it go to directly at a protected file etc... before it go's to the section that allows the Game to start up & work.
2. or does it go to the Section that Starts the Game 1st & then back to a Protected file & then decides if it should still load or not ?
What I am thinking is that if the Exe file is pointing the way to the Protected file or Files then couldn't you just create a exe file that By passes that stuff & go's Directly to the file that starts the Game.
Maybe even something like a Loader if its possible...
Mind you it might sound funny to some & I am a Curious guy but I no absolutly nothing when it comes to Cracking these things.
Could I be correct or Not ?
