PvZ Patch

From TedTycoon.co.uk

Plants Vs. Zombies patch is a console application that edits the Plants Vs. Zombies executable to reveal the hidden mini-games that were never published in the game. It was written in May 2011 in C++. The application stops Plants Vs. Zombies from setting the visibility of the link to the hidden page to false.

The application is however pointless at the moment as the executable for Plants Vs. Zombies is rewritten every time it's run (although this can be stopped). Therefore it is currently best to use Cheat Engine.

Finding it

I was originally trying to find a way to play the endless survival mode on other levels other than pool. It then came round to find page links which navigate round the mini-games, puzzles, survival and limbo page. Limbo page is a hidden page which they never published a visible link to. I found the instruction which set their visible flag to false and NOPed it out.

In the old versions of Plants Vs. Zombies, the following changes should be made.

• 0x42DF5D = 0x90;
• 0x42DF5E = 0x90;
• 0x42DF5F = 0x90;

In the latest version of Plants Vs. Zombies, the following changes should be made.

• 0x430C80 = 0x90;
• 0x430C81 = 0x90;
• 0x430C82 = 0x90;
