Hello,

I've a game (Aethra chronicles) and I would like to fix a bug in this game.
in other words, I would like to patch the binary code to make it behave differently.

more specific: a certain attack does not end your turn. I would like to write a patch that fixes this

I was wondering if there is some kind of profiler available for dosbox to help me get the offsets?
(I might be asking the wrong questions here as I've not done anything like this before. My day job however is web-programming, so I figured that I should be able to learn this if I have enough patience :-)

Thanks, looks like it is what I need.
Also looks like I have some learning to do :)
