Calculating Offset Manually

Introduction This tutorial is more of a tip than a tutorial. It just explains how to calculate offsets for jumps and calls within the program you are patching. Types of Jumps/Calls Here I will just describe the different types of jumps and calls which you will come across: Short Jumps Short jumps be they conditional or unconditional jumps are 2 bytes long (or 1 nibble if your Californian ;-). These are relative jumps taken from the first byte after the two bytes of the jump. Using short jumps you can jump a maximum of 127 bytes forward and 128 bytes backwards. Long Jumps Long jumps if they are relative are 6 bytes long for conditional jumps and are 5 bytes long for unconditional jumps. For conditional jumps 2 bytes are used to identify that it is a long jump and what type of jump (je, jg, jns etc) it is. The other 4 bytes are used to show how far away the target location is relative to the first byte after the jump. In an unconditional jump only 1 byte is used to identify it as a long

Anyone know How To Burn .bin without A .cue File

To burn a bin file, you will need an appropriate cue file. You do exactly the same as for iso files, but when you click on “burn image,” you don’t browse to the bin itself, but instead to the cue file, and you open that one. When the writer starts to burn, it will automatically search for the bin file and start burning it. In fact, the cue file tells the burning program where it can find the bin file that is attached to it. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you use the right cue file when you burn a bin. i.e both cue and bin files that are attached to each other must be located in the same folder, and every bin file has it’s own cue file. Normally, when you download a bin file, you can download the appropriate cue file as well. If you do not have the cue file (or feel bold) you can make the cue file yourself, which is really easy to do: a. Open notepad b. Copy the folowing text into notepad: FILE“nameofimage“BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00 Where nameofimage.bin is the

Configuring your BulletProof FTP Server Tutorial

I am not sure where I found this tutorial, It’s been a while… It might even have been here...  So if it is one of yours, my hat goes off to you once again.... After reading the excellent tutorial on "Creating an FTP" that Norway posted… (I would suggest reading and following his tutorial first, then following up with this one) I thought that perhaps this tutorial might be pretty helpful for those interested in knowing how to configure their Bulletproof FTP Server that don't already know how...  Here's how to get started… This is for the BulletProof FTP Server 2.10. However, It should work fine on most following versions as well. I'm assuming you have it installed and cracked. Basics Start the program. Click on Setup > Main > General from the pull-down menu. Enter your server name into the 'Server Name' box. Under Connection set the “Max number of users" to any number. This is the limit as to how many users can be on your sever at a

Border & Text Effects in PSP8

Do you want to jazz up your graphics? Want to add a bit of pazazz to your art? Well, this guide features some knowledge, border effects, and even directions to make your own swirlie brushes! Now, open PSP and get ready to learn! Let's start off with the basics. -------------------------------------------------   Border Effects There are two main types of borders, solid borders, and decorative borders. A solid border is like a colored line that raps around the outside of your image and separates graphics from the rest of the page. You can have borders inside the outside borders to make awesome layer effects. Decorative borders are almost the same, except they are not completely connected. (Example - Dashed Borders) ------------------------------------------------- Dashed Borders   Open PSP and create an image about 380 x 100 pixels with a white background. Draw a bit with your paintbrush, just add some color. Now maximize your image. It should take up the whole page. Now go up to th

Boot The Block Recovery For Free

You don't need to pay a measly sum of dollars just to recover from a boot block mode. Here it is folks: AWARD Bootblock recovery: That shorting trick should work if the boot block code is not corrupted, and it should not be if /sb switch is used when flashing the bios (instead of /wb switch). The 2 pins to short to force a checksum error varies from chip to chip. But these are usually the highest-numbered address pins (A10 and above). These are the pins used by the system to read the System BIOS (original.bin for award v6), calculate the ROM checksum and see if it's valid before decompressing it into memory, and subsequently allow Bootblock POST to pass control over to the System BIOS. You just have to fool the system into believing that the System BIOS is corrupt. This you do by giving your system a hard time reading the System BIOS by shorting the 2 high address pins. And when it could not read the System BIOS properly, ROM Checksum Error is detected "so to spe
