Guess some people just don't appreciate TippeX's knowledge!!

If a crack is to 'work' it must done in a way that both mimicks the original EXE and is system friendly, not cobbled together and 'hoping' it will work!

TippeX is pointing out the rather shoddy way this crack has been done, and the likelyhood it will fail on certain systems due it not being coded in a system friendly manner, i.e. making sure the dumped data gets loaded back into areas of ram that don't conflict with ram already taken by other processes.

Seeing as this crack relies on loading the data back into the same addresses they were dumped from there is a chance it could conflict with a process already using one of those addresses, and BAM!, the damn thing crashes!!

So when someone tries to educate you, have the courtesy to read and learn
