Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe>

[Bobingabout]

AFAIK all cracked versions still use a valid serial number, they are only classed as invalid on the net because they are used more than once.

theres a very hand YR serial code generator floating around, aswell as a bunch of about 20-30 serial codes. rather easy to obtian, if you simply do a search on google, and look at the results, you can pull up atleast 7 serial codes, this is going by information from over 3 years ago, when i first got YR and needed some extra codes to use it on the network so i didn't have to go and buy 3 other copies. so there is no doubt you can pick up valid serial codes, if not a serial code generator from the internet VERY easily.

my point is, there no point is checking for serial codes, since the gamemd.exe does it already, and unless gamemd.exe is patched, in this case preventing your patch from being installed, there would be a valid serial number anyway.

you've got to compair yuri.exe and ra2md.exe.

and the easiest way to do that with minimal filesize is to actually get hold of a copy of those noCD patched exes, to directly check what bytes are being changed, then get the patcher to simply check those bytes.
