It was the only way to do it. E-games threatened to ban my account and file a law suit for encouraging and distributing an illegal program for personal gain. The only way around it all was to read the pixel data.

And it wasn't that bad. The only tedious part was building the database. Everything else was a fairly quick exercise.

I can't see any other way to achieve this, either. Reading pixel data directly seems your only option, unless someone else can suggest something better?
