Create Resource Section

Resource Tuner Console offers assistance when your file has no resources at all. Use the CreateResources function to add the resource section to a file that was initially compiled without any resources.

Strip Empty Resource Section

To enable or disable the deletion of the empty resource section when saving a file, you can use the StripEmptyResSection property in Resource Tuner Console. Setting this property to "true" will enable the deletion of the empty resource section, while setting it to "false" will disable the deletion. This provides you with the flexibility to control the presence of empty resource sections in your files based on your specific needs and preferences.

UPX Unpacker

When you use RTC to process a file, the integrated UPX Unpacker plug-in automatically detects whether the file is packed with UPX. If the file is packed, RTC proceeds to unpack it automatically. This unpacking feature supports all versions of UPX, ranging from the early obsolete versions (prior to 0.80) to the latest 4.2.x versions.
