David trust me this is our goal here as well ..

Heres what I have been telling folks.. first of all..

Its really a freak chance that the folks that have developed the fixes have accomplished what they have.. I think you'll agree we are all very endepted to them all..

Unfortunately FrontCode didnt call us up and say 'Hey..btw.. this RIAA BS is more then we can deal with right now.. and so get ready to take over and keep MX alive..'...

Maybe then we could have been more prepared.. but we are doing the best we can to get to that exact goal. One easy fix that enables everyone to enjoy everything this network has to offer.

One thing i was just wndering. How did the dll patch work then. You don't have the source code. then how can you modify the program, or is it just the dll.

Anyway, can you modify winmx the same way? to make things better. that is.

the dll just loads in to memory, it is then able to rewrite the binary code in winmx - in reality all it does is rewrite the addresses of some functions winmx calls, so it calls the functions from the patch which then calls the originals (whilst modifying the data in between) in theory anything can be changed in this way, in practice merely modifying data and patching in between winmx and windows to do things isn't the simplest method and it becomes very complicated to make minor changes to winmx (and certain things could not be changed, only completely replaced - which in itself would be extremely complicated)
