Hi,

Does anybody know hot to make IDA Pro 4.17 or 4.15 disassemble WinCE apps (for MIPS processor - I am using Casio e125)?
I tried to use Tsehp's essay about Slovoed but I could not disassemble exe file. May be Windows XP I am using makes my life so hard . I hate Micro$oft. I had enough troble with them.

I was wondering if somebody could help me!!!!

So stop using it already and quit whining like a old lady. Get Linux and do what you want...

But seriously, You'll need:

1. IDA Pro 4.17 (regged!!)
2. The processor module compilation kit (again, from Datarescue, available to ~regged~ users ONLY, hence the above requirement)
3. Borland C++ 4.5 (Nope, above this version of Borland, it does not seem to work
4. Source code for MAKING the processor module (assuming you are smart enough to do that).

You need source, because a module compiled for one version of IDA does NOT run for other version of IDA. Making a module for 4.15 and trying to run on 4.17, IDA will kick you back to the OS you hate so much : XP

So...

Get going and start searching. ALL the above mentioned is available for free on the net (yup, regged too!). Only thing is you gotta know how to search...(you could try www.searchlores.org) to polish your searching skills...And remember while searching, that ALL search engines you are using report file only using the HTTP protocol, and most of THESE above required files are, or could be in FTP, you get the idea...

Have fun. And oh yes, don't forget to install linux (*barf*) so that you do not have to make do with ~shitty~ systems like XP. HUH!!

...Have Phun (on linux )

Thanks aimless!

I thought IDA Pro 4.17 already had module for MIPS. At least I can choose MIPS into processor list but I got a message: IDA kernel and IDP module mips.w32 are not compatible.

Any ideas why?

Hello novichok !

From your way you use 4.15 and 4.17 I know what's your problem.
IDA 4.17 Pro was never made available as warez, only 4.15. Some people wanted to make it look Pro by copying files from 4.15 to 4.17 Std.
Of course this did not work. As aimless already said "because a module compiled for one version of IDA does NOT run for other version of IDA".

Thanks DakienDX !
Does it mean that I can copy this module to 4.15 version and it should work there? (I"ll try)

Hello novichok !

Why don't you try yourself?

How should I know for which version the module you have was compiled?

Buy IDA and you will be able to receive excellent support for all your question. And you'll get IDA 4.20.

Just use IDA 4.04 for WinCe apps

on ida's plugin I wrote there's an identifier near the dll_main that identifies the ida sdk version. you can try to modify it to enable the mod to work with upper versions.


but I'll always encourage you to BUY ida and support datarescue, this tool is too important for rce world.
