MungPlex' upcoming feature: Searching and modifying wave tables!
Many games use these to express sine and cosine curves which are responsible for 3D processing. Modifying them just corrupts the game. #Zelda the #WindWaker has a sine and cosine curve combined in 1 table.

Momentum on the Disgaea investigation has slowed down, but I think I’m pretty close to a breakthrough. I just need to find out where a texture gets sent to the GE, but I haven’t been taking the most productive approach. In the meantime, I’m going to talk about a project on the backburner.

Below is a list of games that use VAC.. 2 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Counter-Strike (video game) Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Counter-Strike: Source Counter-Strike 2 Day of Defeat Day of Defeat: Source Deathmatch Classic Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Half-Life Deathmatch: Source Ricochet Team Fortress Team Fortress Classic A longer list can be found here 3.
