Could someone suggest a good debugger for 16 bit applications?

IDA ? :P
Or maybe try Turbo Debugger or so, but don't ask me how to work with them...

This crackme is pretty easy.
Valid debuggers are TurboDebugger and Dldr (it's inside Softice pack). However you can just use Ida; if you know how Delphi works (call parameters...) static analysis will give you some nice info about the protection routine.

If you don't have a 16bit debugger you can try converting the protection routine from 16 to 32 bit (I haven't tried but it probably works).

good luck...

Thanks for your suggestion DigitalAcid.
And thank to zairon for his explaination :-) I will try. I never tried to debug a 16 bit application I hope it's not so difficult.

Nothing to do.
I gave up.

@costy: you just need the right tools... a disassembler such as WinDasm or IDA and a Hex-editor ;)
@xylitol: its easy indeed.. it got solved some weeks ago after publishing it ;)

btw, since i lost my keygen sources.. i'll recover them by reversing my own crackme.. a total loooool for me :D

WinDsm alone can't help. I tried turbo debugger but it crash. I haven't softice and ida. And it should be really difficult.
The crackme is 3 years old and it's still unsolved.

I'm working right now with WinDasm, IDA and Hex Workshop... and i've removed the nag and right now i'm analyzing the routine with IDA :)

the nag is easy to remove
just nop some byte
but turbo debugger doesn't work for me
and i without a debugger is hard

IDA is great, but I can't work with it.
It is supposed to have some sort of debugger and graphic stuff and so on, but I can't find that or it doesn't work =).

The debugger isn't functional for 16-bit programs.
