I need to crack some small palm programs,but I don't know it's assembly language.

Where I can find PILA ASM reference & 68000 architecture infos?

hey

when i first started palm (not long ago), i wanted to find a motorola asm reference to help me out...

try www.motorola.com

i didnt have much luck but who knows

the asm isnt heaps different, it has a few quirks but due to it being better imho than x86 asm, its very easy to pick up...

shop here first

the tutorials are a bit calculator biased,
but you fill fish alot of generic info.

If you suspect to that your assembler is non-
standard, then pay a close attention to the
official doc http://ti89.acz.org/archive/68kpm.zip

There are many different syntaxes for the 68K
, so make sure you don't get confused by that.

There are plenty of palm emulators out there,
if you want to test your code on a PC, get
any of them. For a generic MC68000 emulator,
go to the "emulators" section in the above
mentioned page, and get the DOS based one,
right in the bottom of the page. It is a pure
68K environment, with minor console I/O
facility, no big library or system calls,
just enough to test the algos.

Hmmm, reversing; does the name "palmdeMON"
ring a bell?
Go to carp's site and get the goodies.

What else? yeah, tsehp's germinating mirror
is always full good stuff; there is an old
paper IIRC about palm, and there might be
newer ones.

Search the motorola site for the 68000 programmers reference. Specifically, the chip guide youre looking for is the 68328 for the older Palm Professional, and the 68EZ328 (the Dragonball) for later Palms, and all its derivatives (Handspring Visor, IBM Workpad etc).

You might also like to try my palm disassembler from the http://carpathia.cjb.net

I have written some tutes about palm reversing and palm asm coding.
Check them if you want at www.latigo.cjb.net
Bye and good luck!
