I read the docs with dmc and noticed that the EBX register is reserved (at least that's how it read by my eyes). But then later you mention that EBX is supported? Do you mean supported by other opcodes handling that register only...or that it can manually be manipulated by me? Just a confusion that I hoped to clear up =)

I'm not sure what you mean. You can use EBX like any other register, but the calling convention requires that it be saved/restored.

Sorry if I was cryptic, you got my question head on =)
