tfw you finally find the specific function that references everything you need, but it's obfuscated with Denuvo

There's actually two Denuvos: Denuvo Anti-Tamper and Denuvo Anti-Cheat.
But Sega has only used the former in Sonic games thus far (to my knowledge)
There's also publicly announced plans to add optional anti-modding functionality to Denuvo Anti-Tamper :(
I hate their whole company lol

Anti Modding??? Okay yeah surely there has to be some possible work around because that just sounds like it exists purely to drain joy and whimsy

Yes, it sucks!
They're calling it "Integrity Protection", and spinning it as a security feature.
But it prevents people from modifying game code - it prevents modding.
We need to modify game code to even have a mod loader!
So if Sega ever uses this, we're screwed...

They got a lot of backlash for it, so they wrote this article to try to damage control:

The tl;dr is "We're not trying to kill mods!! Our anti-mod feature is *optional*! Devs don't *HAVE* to use it!"
(But yes, we are developing and trying to sell an anti-mod feature)
