maybe I'd be better at getting back into my reverse engineering projects if getting back into them didn't involve first figuring out which of the 13 Ghidra versions I have installed is for that project
-
oh god. I thought I'd fill out the resolveTypes function of module loading but it turns out it's a five-pass loader that loads data in place
-
oh god
if( fixup_passes>=64 ){
btype_failure = true;
} -
SIXTY FOUR FUCKING FIXUP PASSES?

@foone The HD-rerelease will have 128 fixup passes.

I think these guys wrote their scripting language so that array types have a declared length, but then neglected to actually tell the script executor about that. it doesn't seem to save that information anywhere or compare it to anything
-
the worst thing about this particular scripting language is that it's compiled to bytecode, but they also have a debug file that includes all the information removed by byte-compiling. So I have variable names and comments and such, right?
but it's in a separate binary format that I can't load. So it's tempting but also useless

@AT1ST @rotopenguin the funny thing is that you're not that far off.
I'm hacking a video game based on a game show, but it's Wheel of Fortune, not Price is Right.

MY GENDER IS BETWEEN ME AND GOD, YOU CANNOT KNOW IT, GAME FOR THE NINTENDO WII
-
this game has been out for 14 years and no one has figured out the cheat codes for it.
but I am dangerously close.

@foone The relation between gender and a floppy disk is between gender and that floppy disk.
-
@clayote and I keep my gender on a floppy disk!
wait. shit. oh no... this explains a lot.

@foone why are all these ghidra versions not interchangeable?

@foone @rotopenguin Is this the one with that one anime avatar image in the bundle? Or a different Wheel of Fortune game?

@foone lol nvm. I finally read to the relevant parts of the thread. https://digipres.club/@foone/113059464273865702
Begs the question why newer versions of ghidra can't load extensions for old versions. Is there some kind of ABI breakage going on? An issue with java?
-

@davejmurphy Ghidra just refuses to load incorrect-version extensions, even if they would work. So you'd have to set up the java environment to compile your own, which I've not bothered with

@AT1ST @rotopenguin different one! no incest anime here.

I think I officially did too much Rust programming. I'm back on my home turf of python(2), and I'm missing the match expression
-
@foone Just switch to Python 3.10 or later? Which has a match expression? https://peps.python.org/pep-0635/
