Head Tracking with Cliffs of Dover

As i said, the fact that one sees a naturalpoint value in the registry or a similarly named dll doesn't mean it's the actual naturalpoint software, it's how one makes their custom-coded dll work with older titles: just "tell" the PC that it's NP when it's really not, because NP is the only thing the game will recognize. This is not equal to using NP software by any means, it's actually more like using an emulation or virtual machine tool like DosBox to run my old games from within windows.
Hence i stand by my opinion that if anything is getting "hacked" when using alternative methods, that is my own PC first and foremost.

To know if FT or any other tracking software is actually using NP files, you'd have to open both in some programming environment and look at them side by side. In fact, when my trackIR died and i started experimenting with freetrack, i checked that registry value and the dll has a different name. Until someone provides me with enough information that it is in fact a renamed NP file, i can't pass judgment on whether FT uses NP software. Telling my PC that the dll is NP to make it work doesn't mean it is true, i'm just instructing my PC to work with an alternative instruction set.

Long story short, we'll have to ask a lawyer or a programmer if we need more details
