MagicEngine

[MooZ]

Hello!

It's been ages since i posted there.
So here it is. Some years ago, i wrote a very simple and stupid pcengine disassembler in order to check if the rom i produced with wla-dx were correct. And i forgot it for months...
Two weeks ago, i restarted working on it and decided to make a "public" release. Note that it's still in WIP.

Here it is
Readme

The directory contains the windows binary, actual source code with Makefiles for both windows and linux, and a dev c++ project.

As an example, I started to disassemble and comment Momotaro Densetsu Turbo

Comments and complains are welcome

It's a WIP, so are there any opcodes that don't disassemble correctly?

All the opcodes are disassembled correctly.
It's a WIP because the interface can be improved. For example, if you only want let the disassembler extract the interupts fonctions, you have to provided an empty CSV. It sounds a little bit stupid. On the other hand, there 's no way to deactivate IRQ disassembly. It's mainly "interface" improvments. And another major issue is that i haven't tested it on cdrom data.

It errors out on ISO files. Also errors out on smaller files - tested on a file that is 0x1000 bytes.

I wrote a disassembler last year, but it's a dynamic in window disassebler for browsing through files - I never added save output and branch instructions showed the actual operand.

I could use yours if it had some other features though (I too lazy to try to go back and understand/update my old code/mess ).

If there was an option to use Magickit format for the instructions/ASM ( i.e. '[' instead of '(' and '<' for zeropage) and have the additional info(address;opcode hex) to the right of the disassebled opcodes with a comment( ";") right before it so it can be easily modified and re-assembled, that be great. An option to exclude irq's would be great too( ISOs don't need or have it).

Multiple output formats is a nice idea.
So... i think my todo list will be as follow:
1. Fix small file size problem
2. Add output format selection
3. Add iso support

[Tomaitheous]

Cool. Looking forward to it

Tadam!

Finally a new release.Here the main features :
- Code cleanup.
- The disassembled data is no longer copied to ram (will prevent crash for isos)
- Label detection was added. This means that instead of having :

yay!

For those interested, I made a new release of etripator some months ago.
The csv file format was simplified. It now only contains :
type;bank;org;size

The org and start field in the previous was (imo) redundant.
