You have to dump theĬontents of a memory region to a binary file and look for the value with Need to find 80000 (0x00013880) in memory…hmmm.there seems to be noīuilt-in support to search for data in memory. Then press Alt+Pause to break into the debugger.

Let’s start the game from the debugger and navigate to the shop screenĪgain. Re-compile it for yourself with some special switches or be smart andĭownload it from somewhere. Order to use the debugging features of DOSBox, you have to either This is where the DOSBox Debugger comes into play. We have to find a way to debug the original code, not the It makes no sense to look for the opcode bytes in the gameĮxecutable(s). WARNING: Stack unwind information not available. The callstack also confirms this, as there’s no Instructions from the original executable and translates them to 32-bit Realized that DOSBox works as an interpreter, i.e. what’s going on here?! After doing some research I So let’s choose the first address and reset the value it holds to 80000. The game stores the "from", "actual" and "to" values and when "actual"īecomes "to" over time, "from" is set to "to".

I can only recommend D-Fend as it is very easy to use and exposes many configuration options via a nice GUI. If you’re not a command-line geek, you might want to check the available frontends for it. Start it on modern systems w/o an emulator so I decided to use the most This is an old game running in 16-bit real mode, you won’t be able to Know it, you have to give it a try, trust me!

Myīrother and I used to play it a lot when we were kids. To circumvent the logic that subtracts the cost of items from our moneyįrom 1991 by The Bitmap Brothers. Of course, this could be easily achieved by attaching WinDbg to DOSBoxĪnd creating a breakpoint at the address where the money is stored withĪn automatic command that rewrites the value. to modify your executable in order to circumvent some logic, like the one decreasing your gold when buying something.
