Not sure what you want me to say.

I disassembled the EXE, found the code that displayed the expiration message, traced back to where it got the current year and compared it to 2013 (0x7DD) and patched that value to 2047 (0x7FF). I could have also short circuited the jump to the expiration message and ignored the date completely, but since I was playing around with that date value to confirm it was the correct one, I just left it that way. Then I used a hex editor to find that opcode sequence in the EXE and overwrote DD with FF.

Thanks very much DM. Great Work

The Equilab is better than pokerstove IMO. Not because it shows other results. It is like Pokerstove but has some more helpfull features.

 

[EvertonGirl]

I uninstalled Pokerstove as I also prefer Equilab.

I had Pokerstove on me tablet and it was baaaaad, a lot worse than Pokerstove for the PC. I ended up deleting that one the day I installed it

Has anyone ever tried the poker ace drills calculator, if so how good is it?

 

[DrazaFFT]

Its working thanks David!!!!!!

Unfortunately the Git source I linked to is only for the core libraries and command-line utilities. The Windows GUI source code is not yet released. Apparently they're deciding on which license to use, and are pointing people to the (now expired) Win32 installer for version 1.24.

HOWEVER I was able to disassemble the executable, find the date check, and make a 1-byte patch to make it expire in 2047. I've uploaded the patched PokerStove.exe to my Dropbox account, the link is below. Just replace your existing PokerStove.exe in your PokerStove install directory (you may want to rename the old one to back it up). Should you ever reinstall with the installer, you'll have to copy this over again.

excellent thank you , mine works fine now.

[BluffMeAllIn]

little does everyone know, dmo can now see your cards when you play muahhahaha LOL


joking of course, OR AM I , nice work dmo will have to get it down on me machine too and check out some of the others that have been suggested

 

[vorin]

works like a charm, thx a lot

 

[dmorris68]

I should point out that the PokerStove author has updated the Windows installer on his Github site to remove the date check, so you can download it from there and not have to use a patched copy anymore.

Thanks and Happy New Year

Many thanks for getting this working again.

thanks

 

[fletchdad]

LOL, yeah if somebody is paranoid, download it and run a binary file comparison. You'll find a 1-byte difference at offset 0x00001c87, 0xDD changed to 0xFF.

Yea, I noticed that................................

Thanks Dave, I have stove again

What happened to pokerstove?

I tried to use it, and I got a message telling me to download the new version. I downloaded the new version, and it still doesn't work.

 

[kidkvno1]

Dm made a patch for it, i'll see if i can find it.
found it

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55558954/PokerStove.exe
Use this one if that one does not work, i took the s out of the https.

Side note the URL won't load for me in google chrome,, it's not the 1st site doing this to me.

 

[dmorris68]

Shouldn't need my patch anymore, if you go to the PokerStove github site, the installer you download there has the expiration removed.

 

[DenverDave]

Just a thank you for the help! I have the original version from the dropbox and love it. Will probably go to Github some time for a fully installable version some day LOL

It requires registration?

 

[dmorris68]

It requires registration?

What does?

 

[LD1977]

Github. I am allergic to forced registrations for every little thing.

 

[dmorris68]

Github doesn't require registration to download. Click on PokerStoveSetup124.exe, then click the Raw button on the next page, and you get a save prompt. No signup/signin requred.

 

[LD1977]

Thx. So raw is a new name for "download" link or what? I am an old geezer and as such dislike new fancy things

 

[dmorris68]

Github is actually a SCM (source code management) or version control system, it's not a normal file sharing service. Developers check-in their code and any binaries they wish to distribute. "Raw" tells Github you want the file as-is or raw, without the usual decoration or special formatting provided for source or text files. So your browser decides how to handle or present it, and for a binary file type like an .exe that means to prompt you download it.

BTW as a shortcut you can right-click on the PokerStoveSetup124.exe link and choose "Save Link As" and it should work too.
