CPUWIZ Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 I need a program to hack the code of Atari game. Thanks. Uh, that would be called a disassembler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Never used one. Then again...all my hacks suck What kind of hacking? Graphic codes or program instructions?

Atari freak 1 Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 It's no fair! The disassembler won't work on XP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvdsb Posted January 5, 2003 Author Share Posted January 5, 2003 Yes it does, just turn the compatability to Windows 98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I know its hard and thats why i want to do it! With a thread title like "Program to Hack Atari game code WANTED" you just seem to come off as a script kiddie. like you want a program to do all the work for you. But if youre serious thats great, Go read the Programers forum it's a lot of help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcakus Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Before you can hack 2600 code you will need to understand it quite a bit. The Distella dissasembler works great in all OSes even XP but only works on 2k/4k games. It can be used on larger games but it is very difficult. For my "Cheaters Annonymous" hacks that I make for the hell of it, I actually load the ROM into a hex editor, and look for specific opcodes and just feel my way around the game code in hex form. I recommend you join the stella list, and work on your own homebrew project... ask questions when you have them... and then work on hacking the code.

rvdsb Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 Did you change the Compatalbility to Win98 Atari Freak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari freak 1 Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 yes I right clicked, went to propertiesm, then compatibility, then checked the box thingie, then tried 98 and 95. It starts then it exits quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Hi there! yesI right clicked, went to propertiesm, then compatibility, then checked the box thingie, then tried 98 and 95. It starts then it exits quickly. Uhm... so you execute it with a double click? Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcakus Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 yesI right clicked, went to propertiesm, then compatibility, then checked the box thingie, then tried 98 and 95. It starts then it exits quickly. Ha ha! Sorry :-) You have to run it from the command line, it's not a windows program. C:>distella -pafs pacman.bin > pacman.s Try that :-) Put correct directory in for C: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARI TROLL Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Sounds stupids but did you try running it from a disk. You stated that it opened fast and exited. I had the same problem with the hack-o-matic. I saved my to a 3 &1/2 and it runs fine. sometimes with XP or any other new OS you have to find ways to slow the older programs down with barrier. Its worked on more than once for me. let me know if it works. Its a mere theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
