Anyone have an existing IDA project they would share? It's a lot easier to wrap your head around something with an existing example to look at. I don't really care what game or how finished it is, I just want to see how it is set up.
I actually have a lot of IDA experience - but mostly embedded systems (PCMs/ECUs/DMEs). I found a Saturn memory map and the yabause IDA plugin to get me started.
I beat my head against the wall trying to manually hack Sega Rally all day yesterday. It's just too hard without knowing what's going on inside the system.
I'm hoping using an emulator along with IDA will be a heck of a lot easier than the embedded machines I've done before - I had no way to step through code and getting useful memory states wasn't very easy either.
