PatchPE

PatchPE revives aging computer systems by patching new software executables for backward compatibility. When developers use recent linkers, the resulting programs often will not run on older Windows versions due to header restrictions. PatchPE intelligently alters these headers, making modern applications functional on legacy platforms such as Windows XP. Furthermore, it grants these programs the ability to become Large Address Aware, breaking the 2 GB memory limit. This process is straightforward and effective, providing a simple solution for users who rely on older machines but wish to access a broader software library without upgrading their operating system.
