Skype user limit hacked to allow non-Intel CPUs to do 10-way

Monday, March 6th, 2006

MAxxus, a force behind the osx86 project has posted a detailed piece on how he cracked the Skype 5 way limit for non-Intel dual core processors. He concluded that the check details were:

The article gives a good view of what x86 assembler hacking is like. There is none of this kind of thing involved:

I’ve changed to Wordpress as you can probably tell. XOOPs just involved too much effort on my part and I didn’t have the time to deal with it. WP so far seems like much more of what I wanted.

I’ll post some stuff when I get a chance. What a change of pace that would be, actually posting stuff rather than fucking with XOOPs.
