Dilate

This is a Windows DLL built with Detours that hijacks the QueryPerformanceFrequency function and shrinks it by a factor of 2^23 (i.e. shifted 23 bits to the right). I made it because I wanted to make a dumb point about a certain game forcing people to wait for hours to complete one of its puzzles.

Dependencies

• Build Tools for Visual Studio

Building

Run nmake from this directory:

C:\dilate> nmake

Using

After building, use the supplied setdll tool from Detours to inject the time-dilation DLL into your .exe of choice:

C:\dilate> bin.x86\setdll.exe /d:bin.x86\preload.dll bin.x86\test.exe
C:\dilate> bin.x86\test.exe

To remove the injected DLL, use setdll with the /r switch:

C:\dilate> bin.x86\setdll.exe /r /d:bin.x86\preload.dll bin.x86\test.exe

Alternatively, you can temporarily inject the time-dilation DLL using the withdll tool from Detours:

C:\dilate> bin.x86\withdll.exe /d:bin.x86\preload.dll bin.x86\test.exe
