Reversing Saturn Isos

[slinga]

Hey all,

Anyone here have any luck reverse engineering Saturn games? Apparently the Advanced version (not the Pro version) of IDA Pro has support for Sh2. I would love to mess around with it, just for kicks.

What tools would you recommend? I can't seem to find a demo version for the advanced version of IDA.

I don't know... Somehow I seem to recall doing that sort of thing once upon a time...

Some clarification on IDA Pro, there's support for SH-3 and SH-4. But it just so happens that SH series of processors are backwards compatible, so you shouldn't have a problem specifying the processor type as SH-3, even though your code is SH-2 code.

The demo for IDA Pro only works with win32 x86 code iirc or something along those lines.

There's other means of finding ida pro advanced *cough* *cough*, but if you're -really- serious and have a around $900 to blow, you'll have to buy a license to have SH series cpu support.

Sadly, there really is no competition to IDA Pro. I mean sure there's some nice disassembler and debuggers out there for x86, etc. but for the 50+ processor families that IDA Pro supports, good luck. I think the most I've seen for a disassembler was like support for 3 different processors(none of which were an SH) and the software was in the very early stages of development.
