Hi, here is a simpler solution (I did it quickly) for the version released today (4200) :

Origine	Nouveaux
`0F B6 51 05` `movzx edx, byte [rcx+0x5]`	`C6 41 05 01` `mov byte [rcx+5], 1`
`83 F2 01` `xor edx, 0x1`	`B2 00 90` `mov dl, 0` ; `nop`

Microsoft Windows (Run as admin) :

py -c "open('C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text\\sublime_text.exe', 'rb+').write(open('C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text\\sublime_text.exe', 'rb').read().replace(b'\x0F\xB6\x51\x05\x83\xF2\x01', b'\xC6\x41\x05\x01\xB2\x00\x90'))"

GNU/Linux (Same for MacOS ?) :

sudo python3 -c "open('/opt/sublime_text/sublime_text', 'rb+').write(open('/opt/sublime_text/sublime_text', 'rb').read().replace(b'\x0F\xB6\x51\x05\x83\xF2\x01', b'\xC6\x41\x05\x01\xB2\x00\x90'))"

I'll share it here next time if there's an update...

This worked for version 4200
just run this in CMD(Admin)

py -c "open('C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe', 'rb+').write(open('C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe', 'rb').read().replace(b'\x0F\xB6\x51\x05\x83\xF2\x01', b'\xC6\x41\x05\x01\xB2\x00\x90'))"

Hi, just use HexEd.it, replace 0F B6 51 05 83 F2 01 -> C6 41 05 01 B2 00 90.

@S8D it's an interesting idea to ask ST for its version. However it's rather unnecessary since md5 is a stricter check. And I think using "|| exit" is cleaner than using "&&" in a very long line.

For hard patches requiring specific addresses, checksums are essential. But for Search & Replace with wildcards, checking the embedded version is useful - the search pattern changed around v4196, so I use different SnR patterns based on version. While I still patch multiple locations with the older method, version checking helps me apply the right pattern for each build that changes.

@DrunkenAlcoholic Thank you so much. I was hoping someone else would do the proper patch for Linux like in the OP. It looks like you don't patch the initial licence check. Is that redundant in 4200?

@DrunkenAlcoholic Thank you so much. I was hoping someone else would do the proper patch for Linux like in the OP. It looks like you don't patch the initial licence check. Is that redundant in 4200?

The "initial licence check" that was used in the original post and description hasn't been needed for a few years now I believe, at least I haven't looked into it, but looking at the original post it does xor's rax with rax register which will result in 0 and then a "ret". so I would imagine this was used in the beginning of a check function that set the rax register to 0 or 1(zero in the patch "rax xor rax, ret"), and setting this rax register was probably needed for a valid check, Like I said I have only been using the other 5 patches which nop's some calls functions and moves 0 into the rax register before ret, which could have been done using xor as the "initial check" patch originally did. But to answer your question, at this point in time, no the original "initial check" patch is not needed as its covered with the other 5 patches.

basically all these patches do is either NOP the calls to functions (9090909090) or return back to caller(C3) or sets rax to 0 and the return back to caller(48C7C000000000C3), extremely basic patching

@DrunkenAlcoholic @FryingPanBrock the "Initial License Check" is still necessary. it's the 8-byte patch "48 C7 C0 ..." (However, I prefer a shorter patch like "31 C0 C3"). The removed patch is "Disable Crash Reporter" which is invalid recently.

@DrunkenAlcoholic nice screenshot ! Did you update your BytePatcher? You should stick a screenshot to your git repo.

Ahh yes now looking at the offset address's in the original patches it does seem "Disable Crash Reporter" is no longer used, anyway the other 5 patches are probably not the most elegant, but they work, and there really is many ways you could patch these functions

31 C0 C3 in assembly is xor eax, eax(32bit) and then ret, and does the exact same thing as 48 31 C0 C3 xor rax, rax and then ret, so all we are doing with setting eax and is automatically placing a zero in the upper part of the rax register, thus the exact same thing, patching is 1 byte shorter in this situation, but really for the sake of a single byte it better to keep with 64bit registers operands e.g rax in my opinion, and yes its a shorter than 48 C7 C0 00 00 00 00 C3 mov rax, 0 then ret, but either or doesn't really matter in the scheme of things

Yes I have updated BytePatcher with a different SnR pattern(need to upload to github), but the screenshot was from "compare-bytes" another small program I made to compare 2 binary files and find the difference, in this case it was after I patched it sublime text with BytePatcher.

I think I'm the one who first started using the 8-byte patch for ST. It was to keep the patches as similar as possible to the SM dev builds, that sometimes need a different return value.

@urxi you have done an excellent job on the patching, I am only following on what yourself and others have contributed in this gist, without people like yourself sharing the knowledge we wouldn't have updates for these patches.
