Scripts that I've made for reversing stuff.
This script is for reversing CPS2 ROMs that have been swapped from little-endian to big-endian. It repairs jump tables that are of the format:
move.w (0x123456,PC,D0w),D1w
jmp (0x123456,PC,D1w)
First it finds the jump table base address, looks at the first byte for the length, then traverses the table, turning each entry into a WORD. Then it assigns mnemonic references to the jmp to the jump table's base address + the offset from the table. Then it runs SwitchOverride.java to repair the branching for the decompiler before finally removing the created mnemonic references (as SwitchOverride.java creates redundant operand mnemonics from them).
Highlight the jmp instruction you wish to repair and run the script. Ensure the jmp is inside of a function body.
- Only works on jump tables whose entries are WORDs; this is most of them
- Only works on jump tables whose first entries are the table's length; this is most of them
#2 is technically untrue; it will work on tables of any length but it may overwrite data outside of the table bounds unless it is already defined. If it is, then it's fine, but if you have yet-to-be-disassembled code after your jump table, best to be pretty sure the length of the jump table is the first WORD in it.
I plan on fixing #1 and looking into what can be done about #2. Perhaps some heuristics.
