O.P. Opening Two Games..
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 :D

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

Reshack or any other program which can edit resources isn't of any use as those will only edit resources. Resources aren't code.

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 :p

RE: Opening Two Games..
