Dark Debugger - protected V86 mode debugger for Dos based on deglucker with build in assembler (FASM). Dark Debugger is a perfect debugger in order to unpack protected executable files. Inside the archive is an instruction how to do it.

I believe your debugger is a powerful tool to modify/crack games under dos Smile But there's only a UNPACK.TXT on how to unpack exes briefly...I don't know what the vid.com/test32.exe/run.com are for, and there's no guide on the dd/dd32 UI. So, could you please add some documents so the users can master your tool quickly?

DD32.EXE is 32-bit version of DD.EXE.
Run DD32.EXE /? to display possible command line parameters.
You can run/debug sample program "vid.com" like below.

Running DD32 by command line:
dd32.exe vid.com

Running DD32 by installation (first install and next use "run.com" to load program):
dd32.exe
run.com vid.com

DD32 uninstall previously installed:
dd32.exe -u

DD32 installing in CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=DD32.EXE -e

Hi, Great CandyMan, amazing tool! The DeGluker 0.04/0.05a hangs easily on my PIII dos machine when hacking games, but your DD runs well! Thank you!
So have a plan for 0.04? and will you think about adding protected-mode support like debugging dos4gw programs?

It always returns "Search bytes(s) not found!" when I debug 16-bit programs using dd32.exe, though the bytes are just in the code/memory window. Instead when using dd.exe to debug 16-bit, searching returns correctly.
So it looks like dd.exe is only for 16-bit debugging and dd32.exe is only for 32-bit debugging, is that true? If so, why can't you just make dd32.exe for both 16-bit and 32-bit debugging like most other debuggers?

The Dark Debugger (32 and 16-bit) is intended only for debugging 16-bit programs. The difference is that version "32" is fully 32-bit (exception handling and kernel) and can run as a driver (CONFIG.SYS file). I have a different debugger to track 32/64-bit programs that use the dos extender
(see also https://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=14416).

I corrected a few things (including the search).

Thanks for the report!
