Most .GAM files are now at least 10+ years old and obsolete, so unprotecting them can do no harm, riiight? Will Clickteam ever release an app to crack .GAM files? What are the chances of them unprotecting a .GAM I send? If that fails, does anyone know how to crack .GAM files? Thanks in advance. Discarded pizza boxes are an indispensable source of cheese.

The app they had to do it was conveniently lost, absolving them of the burden of "can you unprotect my gam file" requests. http://create-games.com/project.asp?id=1875

Isn't there some documentation on the .GAM file format and the protected variant which might allow you to write your own unprotector? jenswa.neocities.org

You literally just had to open it in a hex editor and change one value. But in later editions of TGF Clickteam added a checksum and some extra crunching to make it much harder.. and then lost their own TGF unprotector program. So basically you're in luck if you used TGF 1.0 but kind of screwed if you used 1.06. //

markno2 Registered 06/06/2006 Points 865	12th March, 2011 at 18:31:13 - Same here. I thought "protect application" stopped people cheating in your game. I didn't know it locked the source code. Discarded pizza boxes are an indispensable source of cheese.
