Maniac Patch is now detected when the new exe is used. The difference between 32bit PE and 64 bit PE is actually not that huge when you only care about the resources. The differences: - The machine type is 0x8664 - In the optional header the magic at the beginning is 0x20b instead of 0x10b (0x20b is a "PE32+" header, 0x10b is a "PE32" header) - The data direction offset is different because the PE32+ image file header is larger The offset calculation was the major change: Before the resource offset was hardcoded to 0x88 (136) which is actually "size_of_optional_header (24) + size_of_image_file_header (96/112 [PE+]) + 16".

Maniac Patch is now detected when the new exe is used.
The difference between 32bit PE and 64 bit PE is actually not that huge when you only care about the resources.
The differences:
The offset calculation was the major change:
Before the resource offset was hardcoded to
0x88(136) which is actuallysize_of_optional_header (24) + size_of_image_file_header (96/112 [PE+]) + 16.All the resource format itself is the same. (lucky for us).
Tested it with:
Player.exe, both 32 Bit and 64 Bit: PASSED
Maniac exe: PASSED
Various RPG_RT (32 bit): PASSED
