function, 0x4194fe2b, into r11, meaning we actually return to the *caller* of 0x4194fe26, back into main. so this method must use that pointer as information and probably is a 'patch-and-invoke' mechanism. the `sub $0x5, %r11` at 0x40ee3015 seals the deal, because that moves r11 back 5 bytes to point to the call here. diff --git a/source/notes/star_trek_armada/Armada.exe

This computer has 32gb, undoubtedly something somewhere overflowed.

All of these are 0xFFFFFFFF, aka -1. The values for virtual memory are reasonable, just shy of 2GB. + +Confirming the issue, in the assembly above I can see those values are loaded into registers at `0x5005dc` and `0x5005df`, and compared against constants at `0x5005e2` and `0x5005f4`. + +The comparisons aren't terribly interesting, but the conditional branches they result in are: `0x5005f2` and `0x5005fa` are branches with `jge`, which interprets the flags `cmp` set as if they were for a **signed** comparison. + +This probably means the author of this code wrote these checks like: + +<div class="codebox"> +```c +MEMORYSTATUS* memInfo; +GlobalMemoryStatus(memInfo); +if ( + (int)(memInfo->dwTotalPhys) <= 28 * 1024 * 1024 && + (int)(memInfo->dwTotalPhys) <= 30 * 1024 * 1024 +) { + failMemCheck(); +} +``` +</div> + +where instead the constant should have been cast to `SIZE_T` (an unsigned type). + +This is easily fixable: instead of `jge`, use `jae`. Replacing `0x7d` at `0x5005fe` and `0x5005fa` with `0x73` and rerunning seems to convince the game all is fine. + +Except now it crashes at startup. + +## Crash at Start + +Occasionally, the game will resize the parent window (explorer.exe, for how I was running it) to fullscreen and move it to the top left, so there's some memory corruption happening. Probably passing the parent window's handle to Windows functions, rather than its own. + +Either this function was doing something important that I broke by changing the comparison, or something elsewhere is also buggy. + +Looking through functions that are called, there's a fair amount of sprintf, but enough to make me look elsewhere first. There are also calls to getenv, getcwd, and putenv, only one of each, so it's easy to verify if those are relevant or not. + +They get called in the function at `0x0043feb0`, in this region: + +<div class="codebox"> +#eval cat sprintf_overflow | aha --no-header --stylesheet +</div> + +This is promising. My `%PATH%` is fairly large for unrelated reasons, and the buffer that `sprintf` at `0x43ff8c` writes into is `ebp - 0x430`. The formatted string consists of `%PATH%;%CWD%\AI;%CWD%\Missions`, and if that ends up being larger than ~1kb, it begins arbitrarily corrupting the stack. + +The produced string might be important, but to verify this, I replaced the entire `sprintf` with `nop`: + +<div class="codebox"> +#eval cat sprintf_overflow_fix | aha --no-header --stylesheet +</div> + +And reran: + +\ + +It starts successfully! + +Getting into a game shows other issues: + +\ + +At this point it's likely issues with D3D APIs I don't know so well, so I fiddled with compatibility settings in the hope that something would work. Disabling desktop composition did the trick: + +TODO: image of ingame + +Dunno what desktop composition does other than having to do with Windows Vista and later composing the display differently, so a fun followup might be fixing the game to not require this setting. + +## Bonus: "Please Insert CD" + +If I didn't have the iso of my disk mounted, I was greeted with a pop-up asking me, `Please insert CD`. If you were inclined to do something about that... + +radare: `/ Please\x20insert\x20CD` + +<div class="codebox"> +#eval cat find_cd_strcheck | aha --no-header --stylesheet +</div> + +Finding that string (or most of it) at `0x0061a9b4` + +Figuring out where the string gets used evades the combination of my skills with radare and time I was willing to put in, but Olly was easier: + +1. Right click on any instruction -> search for -> all referenced text strings +1. Right click on strings -> search for "Please insert CD " +1. Double click the highlighted string to show what instruction referenced it +1. That's approximately where the check is done + +Now I think normally there would be a conditional branch at `0x440551` that might show a dialog and close the game, but *for some reason* the test and branch are nop'd out to unconditionally never show me a "Please insert Armada CD" dialog...! diff --git a/source/notes/star_trek_armada/uh.png b/source/notes/star_trek_armada/uh.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..162151e --- /dev/null +++ b/source/notes/star_trek_armada/uh.png |
