1st of all,a big "HELLO" to all here...It's really a nice communty you have here..:D

I decided to post about my project.Alter the osk in order to write greek...

After some search I found that i need to use prxtool and produce an *.idc file from *.prx and load it with IDA pro..The thing is,that I can't use prxtool..It says that it can't output the file.

C:\Users\Angelol\Desktop\prx tool>prxtool.exe -c osk_plugin_500.prx
PRXTool v1.0 : (c) TyRaNiD 2k6
Loading osk_plugin_500.prx
Assertion failed: m_pElfSections != NULL, file ProcessElf.C, line 478

You dont really need too. Just use this

Code: Select all

prxtool -w -o <filename> <filename>

but replace "<filename>" with the prx. Make sure the prx is decrypted and decompress.

The real problem is you need to build a new version of prxtool, the binary version you have doesn't handle the post 3.X prxes which no longer have section headers

Another thing is that you're going to have to learn some MIPS to be able to understand what all of the prxtool stuff does, as it doesn't output in C/C++.

OMG,i really didn't expect such this quick replies...I can't thank you enough.. :):):):):):)

So,to the point..I need to build the last version of prxtool so it can recognize the 5.00 prxs.. :)

Okie,I'll try to do and I'll post about my progress..

@NoEffex:luckily for me,we just started studying MIPS architecture in my University so it could be another big bag of luck for me:D

idk,i too thought that the binary version would work fine as the tut i read in lan.st says that i can use it or compile my own from cygwin..

Its located on the ps2dev.org svn.

svn checkout svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/prxtool
cd prxtool
sh bootstrap
sh configure
make
make install
make clean

Should work.
