For the FastcodeAddressPatch-function, this version works both in 32-bit and 64-bit when I try. The key is changing "pointer" to "integer" because the Intel relative jump-instruction ($E9) still use an 32-bit offset in 64-bit mode.

type
  PJump = ^TJump;
  TJump = packed record
    OpCode: Byte;
    Distance: integer;
  end;

procedure FastcodeAddressPatch(const ASource, ADestination: Pointer);
const
  Size = SizeOf(TJump);
var
  NewJump: PJump;
  OldProtect: Cardinal;
begin
  if VirtualProtect(ASource, Size, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, OldProtect) then
  begin
    NewJump := PJump(ASource);
    NewJump.OpCode := $E9;
    NewJump.Distance := NativeInt(ADestination) - NativeInt(ASource) - Size;

    FlushInstructionCache(GetCurrentProcess, ASource, SizeOf(TJump));
    VirtualProtect(ASource, Size, OldProtect, @OldProtect);
  end;
end;

procedure Test;
begin
  MessageBox(0,'Original','',0);
end;

procedure NewTest;
begin
  MessageBox(0,'Patched','',0);
end;

procedure TForm5.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  FastcodeAddressPatch(@Test,@NewTest);
  Test;
end;

I'm not sure what the other function does but I'm guessing it should be like this:

function FastcodeGetAddress(AStub: Pointer): Pointer;
begin
  if PBYTE(AStub)^ = $E8 then
  begin
    Inc(NativeInt(AStub));
    Result := Pointer(NativeInt(AStub) + SizeOf(integer) + PInteger(AStub)^);
  end
  else
    Result := nil;
end;
