2 questions please anwer even if it is only to one of them.
1.Does anybody know of a free application that goes through and executes each byte step by step (or tells me what each byte does)?
2.anybody know of an internet glossary that tells what each byte ddoes in an application?

You shouldn't be decrpyting games. It's illegal. But to answer your question to know what bytes do what you'll most likely need to know both the machine code of the processor you're working on and the operating system API.

I am just talking about plain win32 bytes that I see in my hex editor. I would like to eventually program small add-on functions to my DB games wich was the only reson I wanted to decrypt. I am not going to use other games then I couldn't sell my game. Please help.

You would need both a debugger to allow you to execute code step by step, and an understanding of machine code.

Oh, and I'm moving this to the general talk forum where it belongs.

No, you did not start the forum, you started the thread.

Machine code? You need the x86 binary instruction reference for that, although at the time I do not know where it is.

Chances are, editing a game's binary code will just make it crash. Start with editing a "Hello World" and make it say "Hello Squirrelled."

If you however want to use a decompiler and edit the ASM, then don't because it's ILLEGAL. We're not criminals here at the DB forums.

EDIT: Alittle nicer...

You need to learn the IA32 machine code operations and NO ONE writes anything in machine code anymore so it's probably better that you don't try to, it's useless. But if you want to maybe this will help: http://web.utk.edu/~ahimes/linux-asm.pdf#search='IA32%20machine%20code' but it deals with Linux instead of Windows.
