Are you referring to .msp’s ?

I think he merely means that some games seem to utilize the hotpatch* nature
of Windows DLLs to hook in their own code. Not that I'd not like to have the
full hotpatch functionality in ReactOS... ;)

(*) A nop-like instruction near the beginning of a function which can be
replaced by a relative jump to a few bytes back where a jump to an
alternative implementation can be included. Normally used to implement a
patched version of the function for Windows' hotpatching functionality.
