Actually, I bet it just injects a dll into the game's process and runs from there (similar to most hacks for games). I am surprised PB enabled games don't spit out "corrupt memory" errors.

They were on the Screensavers last week, and said instead of having to code it into every game, they just went to nvidia and ATI and had them write it into the drivers.
