While the page decryption trick should work in Wine just fine (ZeroIT Lab Theia does that too, right?), I don’t remember if Wine provides workingset info like Windows.

Yes, Wine was (EDIT: partially) compatible with the Roblox anti-cheat, and there was a period in time where Roblox with its anti-cheat ran on Wine. Eventually, however, a decision was made to block Wine.

EDIT It looks like the Roblox anti-cheat devs themselves explained why Wine was blocked:

Yes, it does. Wine lets you register a VEH. They do other stuff to prevent Wine and virtual machines in general that I am not fully aware of.

Even then it's just a fancy party trick, you can suspend the process call the decryption function enumerating all the pages and take a full dump to get the binary

FYI; Theia is a very bad product. It absolutely tanks binary performance and does little to prevent a moderately competent engineer from cheating in your game.

Are the other Zero IT Lab products like their code virtualizer of similar quality to Theia? My only exposure has been that one RE//verse presentation and shitposts on UC.

I can't speak for all the products, but from what I have heard it's pretty bad. Pay close attention to the shitposts on UC, they regularly get taken down but have some interesting information in them.

I personally liked their Code virtualizer. And it's under active development. Sorry to hear about Theia, I haven't run into it yet.
