Hello all,

I badly need the old /screendump feature from Icedump in the NTicedump (running under W2k).
I already had some discussion about this with The Owl (coder of Icedump). The best idea would be to bring the original sourcecode from <icedump-dir>/w9x/src/cmd_screendump.asm to the nticedump source.
But you definitely need a deep knowledge of driver development under W2k which I don't have. I would really like to code this by myself but unfortunately I don't have that much time to first learn the whole driver development stuff.
That's why I call for help. There are so many people out there who have the needed knowlege. Is there anybody who would do this task? Does anyone know someone who is willing to try this?

Please help me!

tried ollydbg??

No I didn't try Ollydbg.
The reason why I need the screendump feature is that I have once written a SI beginners tut under W98 using the screendump feature of icedump for illustrating the running SI window. Now I want to rewrite this tut to match the latest OS (W2k), the latest SI (DriverStudio 2.6). In my old tut I used a hmemcpy breakpoint and this is not valid anymore under W2k, that's the main reason why I want to rewrite the tut.

When bringing this feature to nticedump I don't need such things as write a postscript file. I even don't need to write a html file. A simple dump of the graphic display memory into a raw picture file would be sufficient for me.

If you just need the screen dump for a single shot deal,

Look at this site

In the Sice section of the document, the author outlines a method to obtain Sice screen shots:

Quoted without permission:


6.2.4 SoftIce Window
Since everything freezes, it?s not that easy to take a snapshot of SoftIce?s
window. There is a way though, freeze something in the background, pop up SoftIce
and close it. SoftIce will remain on the frozen window, since painting is unavailable for
frozen applications. Then, you can probably take a snapshot of your screen (or maybe
not, since SoftIce uses a different display driver)

Hello naides,

thank you very much for this hint! I will try this as soon as possible.
Let's hope Numega will someday implement a screendump feature into SI...

Check out http://stenri.pisem.net for IceExt, it seems to have !dumpscreen.
