Hi !

I'm new in this forum (and in cracking too .

I tried to crack FS 98 atc 1.0 but when I try to disassemble it (via IDA, very good tool) I obtain only a call to VB6 ThunRTMain and after, lots of "db". I tried to use SoftIce but it never shows the name of FS 98 atc 1.0 but 'USER(0), ...' and when I try to search an instruction shown by SoftIce, I can't find it in the file.

Please, Help ! Could you give me the technic I could use for this ? Is it crypted or packed (I don't think so, but I'am perhaps wrong)

Thanks

It looks like the program is written in visual basic. And most likely to be compiled in pcode which is similar to a script that is read by msvbvm60.dll (visual basic runtime file). Using a disassembler will not help much. Softice will help to a certain extent. But you will not be in FS's code most of the time but msvbvm60. The most useful tool in my opinion is josephco's visual basic diassembler called Exdec. Look for it at http://www.mesa-sys.com/~codomain/

You might want to read some tutorials based on that tool. Look for it at ebliss.cjb.net

Happy learning
