Cool. I once tried to hack a game I'd bought to change/remove the part 
where it took my name directly from the payment method and displayed 
that it was registered to "Nicolas" instead of "Nick" in big bold 
letters on the title screen. I didn't quite get that adjusted, but I did 
wind up with a tool (in D) to pack/unpack the game's resource file format.
