Well, i think it is possible. The problem is to hook EVERY p-code, used or not, and not just the minimum required to launch with a specific release of the game. Thats like the API calls in SecuROM. In SF there is a p-code table and a "translation table" found in near .dll ( not protect.dll) The problem is to get all translated. With US/UK/german releases, it is fixed just the p-code to make working such releases, but not every one, so other releases in other countries do not have "support". the way of obtain such table will make a "universal" way of procceding.

Good luck!
