X-Hax - New Autodemo research

Here we will discuss and post WIPs and recent findings related to the Autodemo. (edited)

Awesome

i have a ghidra setup from when i was messing around with researching WV some more. it also has some work on 1st_read, Sky Chase, Speed Highway, and Final Egg. i don't know how useful it'll be, but i can share that project and it can be integrated however. for sharing the ghidra repos, just need to share the gpr file and the rep folder, yeah?

Not sure... but anyway @Claire the Rabbit could you set up a Ghidra server so that we could collaborate? Apparently it's possible on Windows too https://medium.com/@jannis.kirschner/ghidra-collaborative-reversing-1-2-how-to-setup-a-ghidra-server-711f4212912e

Ghidra Collaborative Reversing 1/2 — How to setup a Ghidra server

A Step-By-Step tutorial on how to install and configure the ghidra server for collaborative reverse engineering.

why me

cause you have a build bot

14:15

I could set up a server on my PC but my internet is shitty and my computers aren't always online

what does a build bot have to do with ghidra

you have a build bot→computer is often kept online→good for Ghidra server

but like

14:22

we can't put it on an actual server?

maybe...

GhidraProject is all of the partial stuff i did in Ghidra. the IDAExports file are all of the mapped idbs i had converted to xml for use in Ghidra. iirc, 1st_read should have all of, or at least most of, the Ninja/Shinobi/SofDec/libsh4 functions named thanks to Exant's sig files he posted ages ago.

Working on the patcher. For mass replacement of pointers in multiple binaries, how should the patch data be formatted? I'm thinking like a simple text file where each line is like Name, Original address, Replacement address, for example: ___njSetBackColor,8C5E3D36,8C6023BA, is this good? I guess for pointers this byte order is easier to read, but I could make a reversed version as well.

thinking to make it easy to just export from Speeps' excel

I already have both orders in my file rn anyway

sorry, had to reupload this. you'll need to fix the username in project.prp (the VALUE="iea") to whatever your username on your pc is for it to open. that's one of the issues with doing solitary projects and not server ones.

better version of SetEdit Restore patch, only thing missing is a decent way to fix the camera issues on closing SetEdit. The code to check button presses to open SetEdit was also leftover in AD, so the button combo is now A+X.

SetEdit_Restore_v0.2.zip

835 bytes

15:56

I think that's one of these in cameraSystemWork

15:57

rn it gets set to 0 which is how I used to do freecam in 2017 lol

none of these things shoot because their scl values aren't set, I guess the adjustable timing was done afterwards

16:22

some get one or two frames of arrow but that's it lol

patched with data from Speeps' excel

lol wtf Mystic Ruins boots

17:31

kicks you out to title screen after a second though

17:32

Twinkle Circuit also boots

17:34

not sure if this boots normally but pretty cool. Also kicks you out though

Yeah we'll need to patch the adventure field kick out thing
