Opening Two Games.. by Chris4 on 11-30-2005 at 02:19 AM
I play a game called GunZ which you download and run [gunz.exe]
I want to open 2 gunz.exe at the same time but it won't let me, because they've set it to not allow that...
Is there a way to get rid of this restriction? or a different want around it?
Thanks

Short of a bit of reshack, speak to the guy who wrote the MSN MultiLoader (forget his name now).

To make a program polygamy you need to alter its code aka you need to disassemble it and write a patch for it. And there are many ways a program can restric multiple start ups (eg: checking thread id's, checking process id's, checking startup files, checking mutexes, checking semaphores, etc... etc...).
edit 1: after a very quick and basic google search I've found that gunz uses mutexes to check for multiple instances, (and on that same page it clearly describes how to hack it). So google does help
.... (nope I wont give the page, it's a hacking forum, and it doesn't exist anymore anyways on the given url, only in cache)edit2: there seems to be even a parameter which you can use to make gunz polygamy in a way. Though it also requires some hack from what I've read... Again, all in that same basic google search
edit3: pfff, the web is full of hacks for that game... simply search with the most obvious word

cant you do it by making a shortcut to the program and typing something after? (c:/blah/blah.exe /banana) ?
