StarCraft Power Saver (blog post) currently has trouble patching many people’s StarCraft executables as reported here and here. A likely solution to this is to check a smaller portion of the StarCraft executable to verify that my patch will work with it as suggested by MasterOfChaos. But before I do this, I need to make sure that this smaller portion is indeed the same on all StarCraft executables. That’s where you come in. If you happen to have StarCraft installed, I would really appreciate if you could download EXE Info (main web page), run it on your StarCraft executable, and add a comment to this post with your results.
For example, if you have exe_info.exe in your current directory and StarCraft installed in the default location, run the following in a Command Prompt window:
exe_info "C:Program FilesStarcraftStarCraft.exe"
Then copy (right-click, Mark, highlight, and press Enter) and paste the results into a comment on this post. Please include which language your version of StarCraft uses (ie. English, German, etc.) in your comment.
For more information about EXE Info, check out the EXE Info web page. Feel free to add a comment to this post with any questions you might have. Thanks in advance for contributing to StarCraft Power Saver!

Forgot to say, power saver patch gave error ‘C:Program FilesStarcraftStarCraft.exe’ is not a StarCraft: Brood War 1.15.2 executable; the expected MD5 checksum is 8f35e0719fa15e56b6605e67b19ba97c

thanks for StarCraft Power Saver 0.2.
It worked perfectly(played it for 5 mins). Though during the menu part, its still near 100%. I guess it was designed that way.
I do kind of feel its just a little less responsive for me. maybe a later option for user to tweak it? a forum page to comment?
best regards
thank you so much for doing this.

This is an English version of the game. I have already patched the game with Starcraft Power Saver 0.2 prior to getting the information above.
Thanks for a great program!
