Need some help with ASM 'n stuff...

[Play]

Hella!

Well, I gotta admit I wasn't even sure if I start this, but here am I, doing it so... DUH! The thing is, I need some help with ASM n coding. Yeah, I can hear the screams "Go read sticky, tutorials, try, never give up..." yeah yeah, been there, done that. Please hear me out. I started this whole business just because a few years ago I couldn't get a crack for my Red Alert II game, and as it was expected, one day I accidentally dropped the CD and scratched it badly. I was still able to play the game, but the install files got corrupted so I was never able to install the game again. Westwood tech support told me that they'll gladly send me a clean one, if I send them my damaged copy, but I couldn't afford the postal fee to the US, so I skipped that part. I got mad and I swore an oath to myself that I will not need to find any crack ever again... I will make my own. So I went to my friends place, fired up Google(At that time I didn't had internet) and gathered as many tutorials and guides on crackig as I could get. I read them and poked around with SoftIce and WDASM, but it was terrible. The bodycount was three messed up operating systems and countless game files. I made 4 trainers though, if only with TMK, and with a weeks work I managed to crack a 20KB program's childsplay serial protection (though the tutorial said it takes only 2 mins ). I can only find tutorials with things I already know(there is a language called ASM) or with things I haven't heard before, unexplained(go find X adress, track into the process, inject code and then program it in VB or ASM that blahblahblah....).

I got so confused, I fed up. The thing is, I need somebody to explain a few things to me. I've been on other boards, but they just laughed at me(n00b lol, you don't know *that*?) I figured you guys here are more helpful than other trolling idiots out there, so I turn to you. Please, someone could help me out here? I know I noob, loser...etc, but still I want to learn the reverse engineering know-how.

If anyone feels like helping me, please do so. Even in PM...
