All right, I've written this, and I give this to you in the form of 39 lessons!

Guys, I found something important. On Windows 7 64-bit, OllyDbg 2.00 may not work right (the "Copy to Executable" feature is gone, which is kinda important). To fix this, you must use OllyDbg 2.01 alpha 3 instead. It'll have the "Copy to Executable" feature.

It's a bunch of HTML files that you need to download onto your computer. Open the page "Welcome.html" to begin reading the guide.

Here's a sample of what the guide looks like:



I've tried to explain everything as simply as possible (sort of, now it's getting kinda long), to avoid any confusion.

Feel free to point out errors and make suggestions.

This guide isn't finished yet. In the future, I plan to add info about NPC hacking, framerects, calls & procedures/functions, bitwise instructions, logical shift instructions, floating point instructions, optimization, TSC command hacking, bit rotation instructions, rendering, and more. (everything crossed off is already in the guide)

I can help you if you want, but it looks like you're pretty good on your own so far.

All right. There are definitely some topics that I'm not very clear on, so I may need to ask some questions. I just want to share the info I've already got.

You seem to have a better comprehension of this stuff than I do. It seems to be quite well done so far - I especially like the house analogy :]

Whoa! Just like I asked!

So I was sitting at the computer one day, and then I thought: "what if carrotlord added more to his guide?" so I sent him a pm, and a few days later, his new guide comes out and there it is!

Hi I'm cultr1 and Beginner's Guide to ASM 1.01 was my idea!
