When you launch a game through NinjaRipper, it doesn't modify the game's executable file (EXE). Instead, it injects a dynamic link library (DLL) into the running process memory of the game. This injected DLL overwrites the beginning of standard Windows graphics API functions (like DrawIndexedPrimitive in DirectX 9 or DrawInstanced in DirectX 11) with "jumps" to its own code. ninjaripper
