stupid Newby question about Dynamic memory allocation problem

[pikachu5501]

Ok, Now since that i know that my softice is realy old and unusable to me and that i don't want to use an "illegal" downloaded version of it, there is any other way i can work around with game using Dynamic Memory Allocation?

I know, i can just find the adress and "breakpoint memory on write" so a debuger would point to me dirrecly to it. So if there is something that doe's the same job as softice, i would like to witch (freeware) programe do the same job. I have a small basic knowledge in asm because i was using asm to do some interrupt call within my C++ code long ago.


But i have seen also on internet that some memory block could have a "signature" that i could search. That could be interesting..

thank in advance for any usefull feedback.

Cheat Engine does it also..


Search for your value as you would anyway. And add the address you find, and right click it and search for values written to this address.

You may have to look for some addons to hide the "Search for Read" which is more thorough than write.

same job as softice... hmm...
syser debug (ring 0/3 - 'successor' to winice..) - available as trial i think
ollydebug (ring 3 - not quite as powerful as softice) - free... ollydbg.de i think is the homepage
syser, you'll have to google for..

Cheat Engine is really good indeed for someone who wants to start doing trainers with a basic knowledge of asm. for what i want to with it, it is perfect.

Thank you DABhand for pointing that to me and all other for you replies.
