How do i edit .dll files? when i open it in notepad i get all these strange characters.

it is linked to an executable. when i run the executable a few other things pop up. i want to run the executable without other stuff getting activated. and when i delete the .dll the executable wont run.

you use a dissassembler and then you spend several days possibly weeks pouring over the output trying to re-create the original source code
so you can put jump instructions in the right places

isnt there something that does that automatically?

no sorry
to do what you want to do you need to be a programmer and know c++ and assembler
a dll file is more or less a program
what your trying to do is sort of the equivelent of opening notepad.exe and removing the wordwrap function
its a very hard and difficult thing to do

if you have some documentation for the dll you could write your own (it would be a lot easier providing you have the docs)

what about an executable, blank.exe, is it the same situation? and if so how cracker teams modify and crack game executables in like a day?

They have skills.

They have mad, l33t, voodoo skills.

Corrected.

Dude, that kind of talk is not allowed here. This is not a crackers forum.

the real reason i started this is because i want to know if anyone is getting close to cracking bioshock.exe and paul.dll, it seems to be taking longer than usual. i hope its not another chaos theory. *shudders*

also isnt it possible to go to target, grab the game box, go into a bathroom stall, open it, write down the serial, close it back up, put it back, go home, and enter that serial?

thats theft plain and simple.

Who knows, but if they did catch you, I'm pretty sure the punishment is the death penalty in many parts of the world *shrugs* At least it is on this forum, goodbye!
