Single Core Execution Without Compromising Your Comp

This simple guide will allow you to disable your Dual-Core processor on a per application basis. So, instead of modifying your driver to run your entire system on a single core, you can choose specified applications to run on one core while maintaining two active cores.

- First, you will need a tool called imagecfg which is in the attachment below.

- Next, extract the file into C:\Windows\system32. This will allow imagecfg to be a system command.

- To use this tool, go to Start -> Run and type... imagecfg -a 0x1 "C:\Nexon\MapleStory\MapleStory.exe"

(depending on the location of MapleStory, the command may differ from the above example)

***WARNING***
Once the command is executed, the effects on the file are permanent. Back up your files as necessary.


***Congratualtions! You have successfully executed MapleStory on one core!***


Additional Info:

The 1 in "0x1" indicates the core you want to use. You may enter "0x2" to use the other core.

Alternatively, if the above didn't work, try typing imagecfg -u "C:\Nexon\MapleStory\MapleStory.exe"


NOTE: This tool only works on NT based operating systems (eg. Windows NT, 2000 Family, XP Family, 2003 Family, Vista)


I personally don't own a dual-core computer, but my gf does. I figured I'd share this since many of you have dual-core computers and don't want to disable a core just to hack a game. Enjoy!
