<p>byte-identical.</p><p>this is a compiler &amp; linker from 1988, it doesn&#39;t understand how to merge identical copies of functions apparently</p>

<p>I don&#39;t know exactly what this function does (I know it sets some flags based on something in the graphics context) but I DO know one important thing about it:</p><p>they included it in the final binary FOUR TIMES.</p>

<p>I did some experimenting with MSVC 5.1, and it&#39;s weird. I get the same strings in the exe as carmen.exe has, but the code itself looks completely different. </p><p>either I set up my compiler wrong, or this game is full of assembly even for very simple functions</p>

<p>When I was a kid, I got sick and my great-grandmother sent me to a Babaylan shaman. The babaylan performed a ritual on me. In the end, she just gave me a lagundi leaf. 😂</p>

<p>i wrote a custom concolic execution engine to make a keygen for the crackme with this control flow graph</p><p>it made angr eat over 60 GB of RAM and crash</p><p>it makes z3 take like 3 minutes per run and it fails on the second branch out of 64 final ones with unsat :(</p>
