Something like that. Like I said in the README, we don't store
secure data behind this shield. In fact, if you were to get the games
password all you could do is muck high score lists. It is "designed"
to be reasonably secure against user mode attacks - the password is
not stored intact in the binary and I strongly suggest to anyone
wanting to use this to rearrange the calls to the reassembler macros.
And if you don't strip the binary, you deserve to lose.
