How
it works
Patcher
is a File-Hex Editor that allows you to change a file and save the changes
in a PAX file ( <1KB text file ). This PAX file can later be used with
Patcher OR QuickPatcher to patch that file at a later stage. If you
have these PAX files, you don't need to code a program/file patcher/cracker
each time - So Patcher and QuickPatcher are Universal Patchers.
The difference between the two programs is that Patcher allows you to
load and execute a patch as well as create PAX files while QuickPatcher
only loads and executes PAX files thus making it easier to use. Patcher
displays file contents and has search capabilities (String - ASCII and
HEX) as well as Go To OFFSET. It also enables you to override file checks
when patching (ie.file name,size and data).
Patcher - For the Patch Creator.
QuickPatcher - The the Patch User.
How
it works
QuickPatcher
is a program that loads PAX files created by Patcher. After loading
the relevant PAX file, it takes that information and patches the indicated
file. Different patches for different files can be used this way. These
PAX files are small text files ( <1KB ) so there is no danger of getting
a virus with a patch file. If you want to create PAX files, use Patcher
OR you can edit the PAX files with a text editor.
First 20 lines are the details of the person/s who created the patch
file.Then file information, number of changes made, list of new byte
positions and bytes followed by a list of old byte positions and bytes
used to check file to be patched.
How
it works
This
is a program that takes two files, an original unmodified file and a
modified file and compares the two. It then is possible to create a
PAX file that can be executed to patch the original file by using PATCHER
OR QuickPatcher.
