support for symbol kind 0x05 not yet implemented

TR5 Symbols.

Hi @Nightshades1,

Thanks for the notice.

I've now updated sym_dump to handle symbol kinds 0x05 and 0x06. As of rev c2001ca it can parse MAIN.SYM in the same way as DYMPSYM.EXE of PsyQ.

To be able to recreate the C headers, I had to add a few hacks. These are now in the tomb5 branch. Even if the implementation isn't perfect, hope it may help get some insight. Feel free to suggest improvements!

Hi @mewmew Mew Mooooooo ! :) Thank you for your support, i'm having issue again (is it normal ?) I re-downloaded it with go get -u github.com/sanctuary/sym/cmd/sym_dump then i went on github, downloaded as ZIP (tomb5 branch) extracted in go\src\github.com\sanctuary\sym to get the updated changes.

Then i went to cmd\sym_dump
go build
go install

I go in my directory where the .SYM is, Left shift+Right click -> Open new console here, sym_dump.exe -c -src MAIN.SYM.

I get that:

Tbh I don't even know why sony haven't still provided a real debugger for the psx (debug without the real hardware) plus the original parser/dissector that should rebuild most of the game code, i'm sure those guys have something like this, same for .CPE file, sony making the playstation classic oh god ...

Also is .MAP file supported ? it's always nice to get a nice listing in IDA.

Hi @Nightshades1,

Note, you need to change Git branch to the tomb5 branch. Do so by running the following commands.

$ go get -u github.com/sanctuary/sym
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/sanctuary/sym
$ git checkout tomb5
Branch 'tomb5' set up to track remote branch 'tomb5' from 'origin'.
Switched to a new branch 'tomb5'
$ go get github.com/sanctuary/sym/cmd/sym_dump

Extract C headers.

$ $GOPATH/bin/sym_dump -c -src MAIN.SYM
creating: _dump_/types.h
creating: _dump_/projects2/tomb5/game/box.c
creating: _dump_/projects2/tomb5/game/camera.c
...

Create IDA Python scripts.

$ $GOPATH/bin/sym_dump -ida MAIN.SYM
creating: _dump_/make_psx.py
creating: _dump_/set_funcs.py
creating: _dump_/set_vars.py
creating: _dump_/types.h

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
-- Mew Moo!

Ok this worked fine however certain function name aren't here, look's like your parser did skip or maybe you haven't implemented everything yet =P.

From the .MAP file of the game, 0007F9C0 WANK3 in IDA this result it as being sub_7F9C0 =p.

Lot of functions name were set that's great though, hope that you can make it close to perfection later haha.

It seems this issue (and probably for Resident Evil as well) are caused by unimplemented class types. Could this perhaps be easily implemented by looking at the official code?

Class 103 (0x67) should be of type FILE which I've also seen in other games. It references an object file.
