The debugger springs to life! Have a look at the pinball game now. From the debugger select "Attach to Process" and select the pinball.exe process. Once you've got that going, open Pinball and open the debugger. Or just search for "WinDbg Symbols" and you'll find some good set up info. Then configure it to get the symbols from the Microsoft Symbols server. The debugger.įirst up, you have to get WinDbg, the windows debugger from Microsoft. Another way to figure out assembler is to write some very basic programs in C, then run those in the debugger. It's also the "demo" version - but for picking up the basics it's awesome++. It's seriously great for learning, but was made for DOS so some bits (like file access) don't work.

exe called the Ketman x86 Tutor or something. However, the best resource I found is an old DOS. Have a search for "asm tutorials" or "assembler tutorials" and you'll find some good'ens. You at least need to know the basics if you want to hack around - otherwise it's like looking at random squiggles and dots. The more assembler you learn, the easier it is to figure out what's going on.

The catch is that machine level instructions are presented as assembly code - a very low level programming language which is bloody hard to understand.
#3D PINBALL CADET CHEATS REGISTRATION#
We then just need to change it to say "If this registration number is NOT incorrect, then exit the program". Out of the zillions of single instructions, there will only be a few (well, a bunch) that we care about - like, say, the ones that say "If this registration number is incorrect, then exit the program". Using a debugger we can step through and look at each instruction to see what's going on. The computer executes these instructions one at a time. Here's the idea behind cracking and reverse engineering: A program is a set of zillions of instructions that the computer runs to do stuff for us. So, it that's your thing then read on, otherwise - get back to pinball! It's not really really difficult but it is really really tedious.

That's it for games - now I'll explain how I did it and show you how to do some basic reverse engineering and cracking ya self. So I'm assuming that no one bothered to pull the key-handling code to bits. but no sites listed the "hidden test" cheat. I had a quick google around for cheats for this game - I found all the other cheats in the game: 1max = free ball, gmax = the gravity thing etc. And also I keep making the graphix do wacky things, as if I haven't pushed the cartridge in to the Megadrive properly or something. There also seems to be some way to turn it off, but I can't figure it out. These ones I can see are trapped in the code, but I can't see what they do:ī, F11, F12, F15 (how do you do that? Key code 0x7E) Y: Shows the game frame rate in the title
H: Shows the high-score table, with an entry of 1,000,000,000 for you to put your name next to. Here's ones I found, or can see in the code: The "hidden test" mode has a bunch of functions put in there to help the developers out during the game's creation. The ball follows your every command - blatantly ignoring the laws of gravity we have come to expect it to follow! Looks pretty normal? Well, as your ball is flyin' 'round, click on the pinball machine. Load up the game and type the words hidden test. Okay, first up for those who perhaps are not so interested in spending many hours trawling through pages and pages of assembler code, I'll skip straight to the good bits and give you a run down of the sneaky CHEAT_MODE I found hidden in the pinball game included with windows XP.
