\line \line }{\scaps0\caps0\cf1\expnd0\expndtw0\i0\b0\rtlch \ltrch\loch\fs28\loch\f5\hich\af5
FlickerFucker (FF) is a windows based, xbox executable patching utility which changes the behaviour of the default FlickerFilter settings.}{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
\line \line }{\scaps0\caps0\cf1\expnd0\expndtw0\i0\b0\rtlch \ltrch\loch\fs28\loch\f5\hich\af5
The FlickerFilter is a bit of hardware built into the xbox itself, which can be controlled by software.\~ Due to a television's slight over and underscan when drawing a screen, there is often a bit of jumpiness and flicker on finely drawn details, such as text.\~ To keep text from being too jumpy, the FlickerFilter allows the image to be blurred slightly, which reduces the amount of jumpiness in trade for image sharpness.}{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
\line \line }{\scaps0\caps0\cf1\expnd0\expndtw0\i0\b0\rtlch \ltrch\loch\fs28\loch\f5\hich\af5
Virtually every single xbox title defaults the FlickerFilter to a value of 5, the maximum amount of blurring available, and offers no means to reduce the amount through in game options.}{\rtlch \ltrch\loch
\line \line }{\scaps0\caps0\cf1\expnd0\expndtw0\i0\b0\rtlch \ltrch\loch\fs28\loch\f5\hich\af5
FF allows you to force the amount of FlickerFilter used in a game.\~ You can turn it off altogether or select any amount of flicker filtering between 1 (minimum) and 5 (maximum).}{\rtlch \ltrch\loch

FF must first remove the conditional jump, then deal with the extra opcodes (in this case the "xor ebp, ebp") in order to make room for the push \{flickerValue\} statement that has to be inserted. "xor exp,ebp" is relocated to the conditional jump bytes, and the pushes slid up to make room for the additional byte required to push a static value.\~ this is the worst type of patch so far.\line }
