I got this code in an included file that I have done:

Code:

        inc     bx                      ;itarate the pointer
        cmp     bx, playerdegree        ;end of rightcodes...
        je      checkAngret

Now becouse it didn't run as expected I started to debug using AFD.exe
But at the same spot it says this:

Code:

        inc     bx
        cmp     bx, 130
        db      0f
        test    [EB00+BP+SI],CH
        call    fcd6

I double and tripple checked and recompiled, but it still looks like this
I followed it there, it was 100% correct before that cmp, but after it freaked out. And it isn't a file ending error, becouse I got a lot of code after that.

Why is this happening, is it a compiler bug?
Have anyone else haved the same problem?

It seems that AFD can't disassemble near conditional jumps, introduced with 80386.

Here, the opcode of JE is 0F84. AFD skips 0F and disassembles 84, what is opcode of the TEST instruction.

Thanks, I was worried about the assemblers.

I need a new debuger then.
Wich do you use?

Thanks again

IIRC Turbo Debugger is able to disasm up to 386.

I don't know how is it with free DOS debuggers, I always used Turbo.

I did get something, that the jmp was a long jmpl or something, I don't know, but it was different from the others, and I did wrong when I coded it.

It shouldn't jump there, it should only jump a few bytes forward, not the whole file...

So, now I don't need to get a new debugger (for this project anyway, I like AFD), but later I will.

Thanks anyway

PS. I'll look for the turbo debuger...

If your programming in windows you should try olly debug, it supports up to a pentium III instruction set and has helped me more than a few times find bugs in code. also turn on crash dump in Dr. Watson, this will help also find many bugs.

In Windows OllyDbg and SoftICE are the best, I think

I can't make OllyDbg handle .com files... so it won't be good, otherwise it was pretty much what I was looking for.

I couldn't find softice anywhere to download.

Matrix, posting links to illegal downloads may cause problems to the forum administrator. You should avoid that. I mean, no version of SICE is for free.

sorry, i left the google search there,
it is not illegal to search on google
btw, these tools are illegal in some countries?
they can be considered reverse engineering tools

I think they are illegal in democratic countries only when you violate, using them, the Copyright Act or their license agreement.

Perhaps you should convert your .COM to an .EXE (temporarily), then use OllyDbg. c2e_e2c.zip

rugxulo: Imo it won't work. OllyDbg is a windows debugger and so it is unable to debug dos files - doesn't matter if it's .com or .exe
