No, this will overwrite Sentry's hooks. Sentry works well, but I have to access the menu's it blocks, often (as do most on-calc programmers). This program will let you press some combination of keys (allowing for multiple key presses at a time) to activate or deactivate protection. This means, while you are testing programs or whatever, you just press the sequence and you are good to go. When you are ready to set it down for a little while, you press the sequence to activate it again so that if somebody else picks it up, they cannot access your important menu's like the program menu or memory menu. The key here is that there are no menus to one, irritate you as you are trying to program, and two, give away that there is a password protecting the menus.

That would be really cool!

Sentry is a program That lets you password protect certain menus (Your choice of program, APP, and memory menu). It is actually pretty cool. I found ways around it though... Including manually typing "Asm(prgmSENTRY" to unlock it. After that, I started deleting Sentry after installing it because it set hooks in RAM, so it worked without the program :D

Yes, kind of like that, except you get to choose which menus get blocked. The password setup is the same, too.

Will the user be able to decide what keypresses they want to use?

Also, be sure to include a back door (a flipped bit within the program?) so that anyone who forgets their password can contact you and access their data again.

Yes! A RAM clear to erase it! Well, I guess I could make a separate program just to uninstall it in case somebody forgets the password :D

By the way, this is probably going to take a long while to be released. I have a lot on my plate at the moment and it isn't going away soon. It is only going to be added to in the coming weeks and months. :(

But when I have nothing else to do... :D

In the overall, this is the best we've got so far:

Code: [Select]
1814
FEFCFDFAFEF0
ED5F07070707E601C630EF0445C9
21979D
E5CD9D9DE1
7E23D301DB01
BE2328022B2B
7DFE9D20EAC9

It will start spouting off 1's and 0's and to stop it, you must press in this order:
-First, press down and left at the same time. Release the buttons.
-Then, press Enter and Subtract at the same time. Release the buttons.
-Finally, press all of the arrows at once

I am trying it on calc, since it won't work on the emulator xP

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. Like Scout says, that will not work on an emulator, unless you have an emulator that lets you press multiple keys at once :D . It might be nice if I made a program to let the user pick the keys to use, too...
