Tutorial: Using OllyDbg to patch your CM .exe

[Balthazor]

Maybe problem is that CM97/98 can be opened in Win10 only through emulators like DosBox? I have to try it in some older computer...

edit: and it says Can't open file...

[Dermotron]

What format are the files in? There are a lot of Hex Editors that might work

[Craig Forrest]

I wonder if it has to do with the programming language 97/98 was written in

[Balthazor]

Interestingly CM96/97 and CM1 generation were readable with Olly in old computer. Newer one is moaning about 16-bit program and can't open it as being 64-bit. That's different topic that my zerowise programming skills don't let me find almost anything. Their structure is probably different as I couldn't find any offsets connected to certain clubs(but they are mentioned in exe as I see wit hex editor..
About current one...it would be cool to find offsets which allow promotion-relegation from Irish and Northern Irish second level to amateur leagues. They would be good base for Austrian, Swiss and Estonian leagues with 10+10, bu it's annoying when no new teams will be promoted. I read that something is done with Scotland to get 2 more teams., so there might be hope?

Hello! I followed all the steps to the letter. When selecting the option "copy to excecutable-> all modifications -> copy all" the window to save the new exe does not appear

When u click 'copy all' a small window appear with olly code. Close that small window and the window to save the exe will appear. Then click YES and choose the file name.

Can someone help please, im trying to test the olly debugger on the new Saturn v9 patch, when I go to open the CM0102 exe file, I select in on click ok, it then goes to the CPU screen with nothing in any of the columns, and just says "running" in the bottom corner this just stays like this and nothing else happens, when I then go to close Olly down it comes up with the following message

Unable to termiate process 'cm002'. Operating system reports error ERROR_\INVALID_HANDLE

Any help on this would be great as id like to run the v9+ Saturn patch through it to see if that helps my screen resolution problems.

as far as i remember you need to run olly as admin to be able to run the debugger

Hi,I've got to the 31st of July 2008 but can't get any further.

I did have the Argentine second division in the game as a background league, but even now I've removed it, it still doesn't seem to work.

For clarification the leagues I had as playable were Scotland,Spain,France,Germany,Italy,Greece,England and Holland. And the background leagues are Argentina,Brazil,Belgium,Sweden and Turkey.

I had the 3.9.68 patch installed and used nick's patcher,but not a tapani or saturn patch.

Is there any potential suggestions as to what else it could be on those leagues, or is it likely to be corrupted at this point?.

Late to the game here, but I have followed all the instructions and have changed 3rd/4th place bugs and the Aussie league bug on the .68 version but when I go to save I get: Error- Unable to Create File.
