Hi,

does anyone knows how to cr@ck an app for a pocket pc?

Perhaps a proggy like w32dasm?

I wanna remove the trial limitatons for some apps like gsm manager, ia style phone manager or games like lemonade inc.

da one and only IDA Pro (regged of course) ...
very easy ... 99% use jnz bad_guy, 80% of them
are 1 byte crack

or you can use disassembler from eVT (downloadable
from Micro$oft) ... there is an essay on tsehp pages
on how to do it

have phun,

Thx for your answer, but shit, I can't find any demo version, the official site refuses a download because of the updating process for all registred owners.

Does anyone knows a location for the demo/trial/free or what ever version?

(I've tried searching this forum, google, and of course searchlores.org, too)

thx in advance

Hello again,

finally i found an older version (4.15) (regged) but i can't open any of my exe files.

the dialogbox shows me
'load as portable executable for ARM(PE) [pe.ldw]' and Processor type: metapc

But after clicking the ok button a message box appears: 'can not set target processor type 'arm' and the program quits.

The loaded exe file is for a Ipaq StrongARM.

Where is my fault? Perhaps the program version of IDA Pro isn't regged correctly?

there is somewhere a 4.04 regged version (Colton),
your 4.15 it's only patched to look like regged
(it doesnt have ARM code inside)

for start you can look on fravia+ ipaq page for some
good information (mostly all you need) and use my
IDA script for MFCCE300.DLL based programs

hope it helps,

thx, for your answer,
as i thought, the proggy is regged but there are a couple of files missing.

I've found your given url very interesting.
If I ever be able to open a file with IDA

would it be a prob if you would tell me a source for the missing files?
