How to disassemble a PSP ELF with Ida Pro?
Is there a patcher to revert the work of outpatch?

Thanks

The prxes we build are strange IDA doesn't really like them, for Sony stuff grab prxtool from subversion and do prxtool -o newfile.prx -e sonyfile.prx to be able to load it in ida. Whether that works for our stuff I couldn't say :)

Or you could just change two bytes at 0x10 of the file to 02 00 and IDA will load it fine. Select mipsl mode for processor type.

The more useful thing about prxtool is that you can get it to produce an idc script that will do a lot of organisational work for you once you have an elf disassembled.

And don't forget relocation fixups :)

Any chance of a windows prxtool?

Is it within our legal right to disassemble and analyse boot.bin files ? I ask this first, before asking why IDA doesn't seem to disassemble them properly...
