IDA Help?

[Half Mile Ride]

So I got IDA and I'm trying to install this

http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/IDA_pr...g_-_Ida_Pro_debugger_module_for_Playstation_3

To link IDA Pro with Target Manager but after correct installation and selecting a DECI3 plugin this happens:

Any ideas?

I'm a noob with ida also. But you should probably give more info. As many details as possible.

You did everything the wiki said?

Hey playerkp, Yeah I didn't compile it though because it comes up with many errors in VS 2013, most of these are 'include not found' (even though I copied the includes from SN Systems PS3 SDK).

I just downloaded the compiled version of the plugin and after opening the .elf file I pressed F9 and tried to connect DECI3 plugin, right after I press OK that error on the picture happens and IDA closes.


Edit: I am using Xorloser's PS3 Loader plugin, if I try it with the regular PPC loader from IDA the error still happens.

I was hoping someone experienced at IDA might give a clue.

But from what I can tell, I think it may have something to do with this:

• BUGFIX: gdbserver: disabling single-step support could render the debugger module unusable, ida would complain about wrong RESMOD bits
• https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/6.8/index.shtml

At least if the version IDA Pro you have is lower than 6.8?

I had 6.8 installed, I uninstalled it to install 6.5 but I can't because it has malware in it, I've also downloaded 7.0 but the installer doesn't want to execute on my laptop for some reason.

I doubt that originally licensed installer have any kind of malware in it. I also believe you have rights to use IDA software as we can't help here with pirated software. Also keep in mind that IDA 7.0 is first one that have 64 bit executable version available. Maybe there is your issue.

Hi we are not discussing ways to crack or pirate IDA Pro I am having an issue linking IDA Pro with ProDG.

My antivirus detects malware as the package with the installer for 6.5 is being extracted from its container file, When I had 6.8 installed in my computer It left two shortcuts on my desktop, one for 32bit and one for 64bit. I always used 64bit. I think rather as playerkp mentioned the problem is some bug introduced in 6.8, I've ran into various walls trying to install other versions of IDA.

Good to hear that.

It doesn't matter IDA wasn't 64 bit then. Which you can check is task manager while running 64 bit version of 6.8, and in ida 7.0 changelog.

If you trying to use precompiled deci3dbg plugin, then you should know that it was compiled using 6.1 SDK and there is big chance that plugin will not work in anything newer than IDA 6.5. Until you recompile it with matching SDK, and until you fix eventual errors in code to make it compile under newer sdk.

Yes, you can see here that they made lots of changes. https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/7.0/index.shtml

Like @kozarovv said already, if you use any plugins that were compiled with older IDA SDKs they will not work. You will need to port them to 7.0 and compile yourself. https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/7.0/docs/api70_porting_guide.shtml

I have been trying to get some ps3 plugins ported and compiled. I'm a noob with it, but am having fun learning how to do it. There are some older guides out there I found with Google. Using those, and referencing the second link I gave. Should be able to figure it out.
