So I have located the verification function of a game and need it to always return 4. How do I do that?

if it's using the stdcall calling convention, ret needs to know the number of parameters given so it can pop those of as well

e.g if one parameter is given, then ret 4. If 2 parameters, ret 8

just look at the original function to see which ret is uses

Use break and trace. CE will make it easy to find the return instruction.

Ollydbg has execute til return. Last I remember, CE would step past the return...but it should not be difficult, regardless.

You can write a script to pause the target or set a breakpoint on startup. You can also use Ollydbg or similar, and it can automatically break on entry point or whatever you set that up for.

Can you disclose the target?

Are you sure it is not packed or obfuscated in some way?
