FILE: DBSIM.EXE

DBSIM.EXE is the game's engine.

Commandline parameters (in code):

Parsing of the command line in DBSIM.EXE is a strange piece of code:

signed int __cdecl sub_4652F8(const char *s, int a2)

{

const char *v2; // ebx@1

char *v3; // eax@3

int v4; // esi@4

int i; // edx@6

signed int v6; // eax@6

const char v7; // al@8

int v9; // [sp+8h] [bp-8h]@1

signed int v10; // [sp+Ch] [bp-4h]@1

v10 = 1;

v2 = s;

*(_DWORD *)a2 = "dbsim";

v9 = a2 + 4;

while ( *v2 )

{

if ( *v2 == 32 )

{

++v2;

}

else

{

v3 = strchr(v2, 32);

if ( v3 )

v4 = v3 - v2 + 1;

else

v4 = strlen(v2) + 1;

*(_DWORD *)v9 = sub_4774F0(v4 + 1);

v9 += 4;

v6 = v10++;

for ( i = *(_DWORD *)(a2 + 4 * v6); ; ++i )

{

v7 = *v2;

if ( !*v2 )

break;

if ( v7 == 32 )

break;

*(_BYTE *)i = v7;

++v2;

}

*(_BYTE *)i = 0;

}

}

return v10;

}

Commandline parameters (observed):

dbsim.exe dummy -eggplant -X2 -R0 -G

• • dummy: unknown

  • -eggplant: this is the key for the direct-call switch. dbsim.exe -eggplant starts the last ran game.

  • -X2: unknown

  • -R0: unknown

  • -G, -E or -F are the language

via ES.EXE:

• • -s: unknown

  • -m: unknown

  • -D: use demo keycode sequence as input instead of userinput

  • -Z: unknown

  • -l: unknown

  • -SPRUNKNOWN: cheat mode

Other:

• • -D:
