RomRaider

Hi all,
Just after some advice/sanity check..
Am I heading down the correct root of creating a definition? I have took an existing def from a similar car and compared it with its rom and my rom in a hex editor. Is it just a case of finding similar strings of data between the two roms and defining these addresses in the xml file?

Cheers

This has got more difficult.. How do you work out the location of the data, when it differs from rom to rom?

All great information, only problem is getting hold of the IDA software.. It dosn't allow disassembly of .hex in IDA Pro free, and the demo of the 6.95 version only allows disassembly of .exe files

I can't justify paying >$500 for software I would only use once! haha

You would need the Named Pro license to get SH CPU decoding which is 1129 USD + yearly maintenance to get updates and access to support and the IDA forums.

You can use the forum information to gain an understanding of how the code works and how the tables are referenced in code even without IDA. If you wish to disassemble the ROM you can run it through an open source disassembler (gnu-sh) to get a programing list.
