although kadat dislikes it, im still gonna post it.
i still think its kinda sad it took 2 people to figure that out. ESPECIALLY since the only thing required for the exploit is a simple 4b*1. but on the other hand good job for finding it. most people dont understand exploits.
so for those of us who dont understand exploits, can you explain how/why this works? No hand waving, no allusions to voodoo, just a complete and coherent explanation please.
Enlighten us, so the community can become smarter.
lol, dont worry kadat. i shall enlighten you in the ways of exploitation. an exploit is nothing more than using a glitch, or a cheat in an interesting way so it becomes something different. in this case it was using a 4b*1 to turn it into a gem hack. the reason it works is because the game uses that value for the gem function (never played the game so im being vague) and i assume the game uses signed integers so when you use something like -1 it will give you money instead of taking it away.
no magic, no voodoo, nothing except a simple cheat used in an interesting way due to an imaginitive brain.
exploits like this work on flash games, downloadable games, and probably console games if you are able to edit its memory.
