Sentinel Superpro SproRead

[uku]

Hi again. Little while ago I posted a thread on this board and asked a little help to keep exploreing, but unfortunetly did not get any help:( . http://reteam.org/board/showthread.php?t=1281
Perhaps I asked too much.
I am still trying to make reg file in vusbus emulator. Could someone pleas explain why it seems that TORO reads cells 08 and 09 from emulator, but takes data from 00???
result from Toro:
In:> RNBOsproInitialize
Out:> RNBOsproInitialize

In:> RNBOsproFindFirstUnit DeveloperId=XXXX (XxXXX)
Out:> RNBOsproFindFirstUnit DeveloperId=XXXX (XxXXX -> Status=0x3

In:> RNBOsproFindFirstUnit DeveloperId=XXXX (0xXXXX)
Out:> RNBOsproFindFirstUnit DeveloperId=0 (0x0 -> Status=0x0

In:> RNBOsproRead Address=8 (0x8)
Out:> RNBOsproRead Address=8 (0x8) -> Status=0x4
Data=52651 (0xCDAB)

In:> RNBOsproRead Address=9 (0x9)
Out:> RNBOsproRead Address=9 (0x9) -> Status=0x4
Data=52651 (0xCDAB)

In:> RNBOsproSetUnitInfo
Out:> RNBOsproSetUnitInfo

In:> RNBOsproFindNextUnit
Out:> RNBOsproFindNextUnit-> Status=0x3

and what means Status=0x4 (could not find it from board), I know that =0 is OK and =3 is not OK

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Thank You BfoX. :)

Me again.
Thanks to BfoX, I understood that the cells access codes in the vusbus reg file were wrong. So I changed the accsess codes on cells from 00 to 07 to "1" - Read-only data word and everything else to "0" - Read/write data word. And the results in Toro:

In:> RNBOsproInitialize
Out:> RNBOsproInitialize

In:> RNBOsproFindFirstUnit DeveloperId=XXXX (XxXXX)
Out:> RNBOsproFindFirstUnit DeveloperId=XXXX (XxXXX -> Status=0x3

In:> RNBOsproFindFirstUnit DeveloperId=XXXX (XxXXX)
Out:> RNBOsproFindFirstUnit DeveloperId=0 (0x0 -> Status=0x0

In:> RNBOsproRead Address=8 (0x8)
Out:> RNBOsproRead Address=8 (0x8) -> Status=0x0
Data=43981 (0xABCD)

In:> RNBOsproRead Address=9 (0x9)
Out:> RNBOsproRead Address=9 (0x9) -> Status=0x0
Data=65535 (0xFFFF)

In:> RNBOsproSetUnitInfo
Out:> RNBOsproSetUnitInfo

In:> RNBOsproFindNextUnit
Out:> RNBOsproFindNextUnit-> Status=0x3

:) But interesting is that I put any value into the cells 08 and 09 and it gives Status=0x0 (Success) ?! Why?
And then starts finding the next unit (next dongle)...
When it checks if the value is correct or not in those cells?

[Git]

Think about it - how would it know if the cell contents are "correct"?. What is correct is up to the application program, not the driver. All the driver can do is report how it got on trying to read the cell. Chances are it all works fine and it returns 0. If you were silly enough to try to read one of the reserved cells 2..7 then it will return SP_INVALID_MEMORY_ADDRESS. If you removed the dongle between FormatPacket and SproRead then it will return SP_UNIT_NOT_FOUND, etc.

Tnx. Git. My bad- I try to think more next time before I ask. Now I will try to find the sproRead from the software and to study debugging to find out what should be inside the cells 08 and 09.
I still have little difficulties to see the sentinel functions inside application, because when I added all the signatures that I was able to find, but only 2 signatures found some functions: Sentinel SuperPro Lib - Killer_3K (found 1 function)
Sentinel SuperPro C/C++ library by pRT (rev3) (found 5 functions)
Everything else- 0 functions. Then in Name box in IDA I tried to look for typical sspro functions starting with „spro“ I found only 1 function: sproFormatPacket, nothing more =( no sproFindFirstUnit etc.. How could I recognize other 5 functions that were found by signature: Sentinel SuperPro C/C++ library by pRT (rev3)?

Spro Read reads data from cell 08 and 09. Could this part of the code be sproRead? When I NOP-ed out JNZ functions on them the box "Program is loading..." pop-ed up and the program crashed.
First:
