The latest...

Posted by JoshDreamland on Feb. 12, 2007, 5 p.m.

Though I was working on a Mario remake, I found a game that I couldn't believe was Game Maker made, and so I found myself writing a program to test it. Turns out it was GM, BTW. ;)

So basically, from there I kept working on it until I got it to recognize any Delphi program. Though that was a mistake at first, with a little more work I got it to recognize GM6 as well, and tell it apart from Delphi. So then I had a GM6/Delphi scanner.

Of course, why stop there? I added GM5 to the mix as well. Now as far as I can tell it works very accurately, telling all three apart. I have tested it on one Delphi program, one GM5 program, and several GM6 programs. It worked on all those.

There's nothing malicious or dangerous about it, so those who want can get it here.

Also on my list was my MPlay lib. Gamemaker is unbelievably slow with the MPlay as you may already know, so I've had 7+ requests to incorporate 39ster's 39DLL. This may or may not happen. It's a lot up to 39Ster, actually. I want his permission first.

As for the simplicity though; I don't think it gets much easier. Which is probably why it caught on.

I finally got my own MSN. JoshV@zoominternet.net is the email, just in case you want to know.

Been playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. That game has great replay value. I have beaten it like five times now. ^_^;; Of course, now I don't play it as much after my brother opened up his birthday present that I still can't believe. A Nintendo Wii. I am amazed at it. Most people don't give Nintendo that much credit, but that thing knows speed, spin and rotation, direction, and the position of the Nunchuk extension. It's amazing throughout. So if you get the chance, I'd strongly suggest you take it.

Well, that's about it for me…

GM6.1,eh?You should release the source,file reading must be superb…how does it figure the stuff?Perhaps a bit more work could even decompile…though that'd be crazy…

Clever, scan the scanner. lol I wondered how many would do that. It's a simple thing really, but before I give out the source to everybody, I want to see how far I can take this. Decompilation is well within reach, to an extent. I have what I need.

If I get all standard languages recognized, this will be patent worthy.

You really wanna make some cash with GM,eh?Even MPlay Fighter has a note about wanting to sell it.

Oh, I've done it! But the big thing is this patent I'm getting already on a giant program I wrote a while back.

But I don't know about this one.

if you read a part of a couple of files that are the same type, you should be able to tell what the files are :)

Alert Games– You got it. ;)

I have written programs to tell me. They compare, two, three, more at a time, seeking out all I need to distinguish. In a GM game, there exist more than 450,000 bytes telling a GM EXE apart from the rest, and, if my theory is corrext, reading and understanding GML.

BTW, I probably will release it when I am done.
