I used your great program to successfully disassemble my target.The protection was easily killed in some minutes (simple jumps modifications).

Then I load IDA to write my modifications (and to test them!!) , but I first receive an error message (A5 register is not pointing to the start of the data segment) an then I receive a disassembly that presents no correspondencies with palmdeMON listing.

Why IDA presents me a disassembly so "dirt"? Am I missing something of PRC file format?

Hi,

IDA takes the PRC, and shows all of it within its display, resources etc will be displayed as data in the disassembly. You need to jump to the start of the code segment, which wont be at the top of the display like in palmdemon.

Ive studied the A5 issue a little, AFAIK, IDA is merely warning you that the CODE0 resource could not be parsed sufficiently to provide data segment xrefs. Unless Ive misunderstood, Its shouldnt fundamentally affect the disassembly itself, only the annotations.

Could you send the PRC to me at carpathia_uk@mail.com please, and I can verify what Ive told you.

Thanks

Carpathia

The PRC is on the way,with more detailed infos!!
