That varies greatly game-to-game; locate the comparison instruction to check if another instance of the game is running, and change it to either always return true, or always return false (Depending on which value the detection-check acts on).

Look out for instructions such as "CMP", "TEST", etc.

It's not a good solution, but it works sometimes. Worth a try.

I have never hex anything before, so i don't know how to try that Sad

I tryed researching your awnsers and still fail to understand.
For Damipl solution their is no CreateMutexA in my .exe so that wouldn't work on haloce.exe. and sandboxie doesn't work on 64b os so i cann't use that.

Near the bottom in that post there is another method posted by Labyrnth that uses CreateEvent instead of CreateMutexA, try that one. Also you can try running VMware and run the game in virtual machine. I think WMvare supports 64bit systems.

It didn't have that either, Vmware is only for mac users, which i am not.
In 3 months i'll get windows 7 and i'll use xp mode (download edition)
Eh i wish i knew hex editing... any other solutions or help me hex edit it?

If anyone wants to look at it:

hex editing really isn't that hard.

VMware Workstation is not for mac users, i dought it even works on mac
I have it installed right now on Win XP and have no trouble at all. I tested it even on 2 same games before and got no problems.

+giving us the exe alone does not help, i cant even open the exe in ollydbg without the rest of the files to test stuff. Whats the full game name. halo 1?

Yea, Halo ce is about 5 years old and has a wide variety of hacks to try
Eh it crashes on startup, I see them though...
But mute at 0x1FE000 how would you edit: 6D75 7465
or at 0x213B20 - CreateEvent . I don't see what you changed

DamiPL · Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 5:17 pm Post subject:

i left CreateEvent unchanged, if u have ollydbg u can try the second method.
As for editing, if u want to change it to 6D75 7465, press CTRL+E and it will bring up the box. Also u can edit HEX in Hex Workshop.

Also if you try to open second game do you get any errors? You can search for Text strings in ollydbg and find that error and skip it.
