Cheat Engine

I have managed to translate speedhack source into C++, tested it, and it worked. Unfortunately, the target game has protection
and it was able to detect that I have tampered the results of GetTickCount. Anywany, that's not the reason why I am here.

So, I have created a simple program that uses GetTickCount, tried to hook GetTickCount with cheat engine, but it(GetTickCount) returns
normal(untampered) values.

So my question is, does your speedhack hook the GetTickCount function? If it does, then why does GetTickCount return untampered values?
I created the simple program with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010.

It hooks GetTickCount yes and it does return modified values IF your speed is set to something else than 1.0 (The time returned is a calculated value based on the original time and the time since the speedhack was enabled so there is no difference when the speed changes)

Also, what a lot of people are mistaken in is that just injecting the dll will NOT hook the functions

And don't forget that there are other apis for time like QueryPerfomanceCounter and the api to get the current time of the day (Which ce's speedhack does not change)
