There's no need to take it personally.
It's certainly awkward when running the programs that you get a dialog box that states "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\~Mmm123.tmp: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Pleaseinstall a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
This would certainly not occur if the executable simply launched directly.
The term "ghetto" is something I use regularly to refer to kludges in my code as well as other programs. There's no animus.
As an aside, I certainly did *not* assume that the two versions of the game are the same, which is why I explicitly stated that I suspected they were the same, but to be sure provided md5sums of the files. I don't have the steam version so I can't compare them, but anyone who does can with the information provided.
I did expect a higher quality of workmanship in the trainers. I think that's fair for prices being charged. I don't envy the difficulty of keeping up with so many games, but that's the problems you signed up for.
If you'd prefer to cancel my membership and refund my money though, I certainly won't mind. It's your service.

if it were me I WOULD refund your money.
you use ONE trainer on a low budget game that is using some sort of compile at runtime game engine that (apparently like 2 or 3 other games) apparently creates different code on different machines (likely due to users who have bizarre setups or the like similar to you who apparently can't run .exe's unless they are named with suffix .exe like your machine or have 1 of a million different programs blocking the trainer launcher from launching the trainer and/or injecting code). and you going to complain about high quality?
the term 'ghetto' is something jerks use that have no clue wtf they are talking about but try to sound like they are smart.
i'd be willing to bet the problem is 100% on your end 'smart guy'. and it's probably one of the following
1 wrong version of game (i.e. not steam and not legit steam)
2 something blocking the trainer from running the .exe from the launcher in the temp folder (i.e. YOUR STUPID ERROR AT LAUNCH)
3 something blocking the trainer from injecting code into the game (and YES trainers have to have ADMIN PRIVILEDGES)
users like you are more trouble than you are worth, because you DONT appreciate the work, post jerk postings, and think you know everything.
I haven't looked at this title but I will later today and see what I can do with it. why people are all enamored with these crossover iphone conversion games that are 10 bucks and have 8 bit graphics I WILL NEVER KNOW. but you can bet I am not going to put 3 days of coding into them and have to deal with 20+ updates while the developers of these dink games fix all their bugs using paid customers as quality control..
0x90 responded PERSONALLY multiple times and did MULTIPLE updates trying to put something out for this TURD GAME. the problems lies with the fact that developers are using 'catch all' SDK engines to make games now so they can try to sell their 10 dollar Atari Clone games from 1990 on 5-6 different systems (i.e. mac, pc, iphone, Linux, etc.) and that these engines have 'compilers' that work independently on each machine and create code on the fly (and sometimes re-creates code later). the second problem is know it all users who refuse to read the trainer troubleshooting and have any number of programs on their machine that is blocking the trainer or preventing it from doing what it has to do to work.
whether pwiz dumps you from our membership is up to him..
I've sent an updated trainer for version 1.0.11 to Chris which was successfully tested by another member where the previous trainer didn't worked.
But for those who still have problems, I've coded a savegame editor which should do the job. The savegame editor also features more options like editing stats or the maximum weight.
Hopefully you'll find it useful.
I also completed a trainer for this game
pwizard will post later
best,
Cal
