- tools/ghidra_import_raw.sh (NEW): raw-blob importer (BinaryLoader + --loader-baseAddr +
PSX:LE:32:default) — the Gen2 counterpart to ghidra_import.sh (PS-X-EXE only); reusable for
Phase-13 location overlays. Imports the resident blob as program 'resident' @0x800CEDF8.
- tools/ghidra_scripts/DefineFunctions.java (NEW): seed splat's validated entry points
(.run/<prog>_funcs.txt) — raw-binary auto-analysis finds only the reachable subset (23/143);
this defines all 143 (created=120/existed=23/failed=0). R9-verified 143 funcs persisted.
- FINDING: DetectPsyQ reports the resident is PsyQ 4.7.0 (the EXE is 4.0.0); the lone in-range
PsyQ-signature hit is DsMix (libsnd -> resident holds the sound driver). 4.7 .LIBs DEFERRED to
Phase 11 start (Drew); carried to PhaseEnd Notes. Phase 10 needs nothing from 4.7.
- config/symbols.resident.txt: seed DsMix (R13 candidate, 4.0-sig vs 4.7 blob — confirm in Phase 11);
stacked under symbols.us.txt, applied on re-extract -> resident still 8e17e02f BYTE-IDENTICAL (R22),
main still 143dbb89 (no regression)
- Makefile: per-binary GHIDRA_PROG -> 'make sig-refresh BINARY=resident' (.run/sig.resident.jsonl)
- dup_report.resident now real (6 byte-identical intra-resident groups — Phase-11 dedup fodder)
- ghidra DB committed (R23, MCP stopped): new resident program 00000003.* (+ main db.15->16 no-op)
- mapped the blob vs bytes: word0 data header (0x36); clean code 0x4..0x4610 (145 funcs,
zero embedded jump-tables/trap-ops); data tail 0x4610..EOF (pointer tables + 78.5KB zeros)
- split: [0x0, rodata, hdr] + [0x4, c, resident] + [0x4610, data, tail]
- fix 1: the leading data word sits BEFORE code, which fights section_order; emit it as
rodata (no-dot) so section_order [.rodata,.text,.data,.bss] places it first @0x800CEDF8 —
a 1-word analogue of main's rodata-island, no ld_interleave needed
- fix 2: build_path=build (not build/resident) so splat's .ld object paths match the
Makefile's build/asm/** + build/src/** pattern rules (only elf/ld/output in build/resident/)
- MILESTONE: make build BINARY=resident -> 8e17e02ff8954d07c979449198f7e1645046b353
BYTE-IDENTICAL (365,404 B, end vram 0x80128154); -G0 confirmed (0 gp refs);
R22 clean-rebuild green; main still 143dbb89… (no regression)
- src/resident/resident.c (143 INCLUDE_ASM stubs) committed; asm/resident/** regenerated
- libspu and libsnd interleave in 0x3A444..0x4239C (the 800-subseg tail), so they link
as ONE combined region rather than two tangled passes
- NEW tools/make_snd_used.py: build the curated combined dir — merge both libs by vram,
pick the byte-matching object per aliased address (link_object), exclude 4 addresses
that don't reconcile in-region (kept as byte-identical stubs):
0x3C438 S_R/S_W, 0x3D424 S_GRMDT/FB/T — scattered-.bss commons, cross-object (§9.1)
0x3D94C S_IH/UT_RON — false placement (inside libsnd SSSTART.o)
0x3FA64 VM_F (237 ins) — scattered-.bss commons (the one real loss)
- subsegs via gen_lib_subsegs.py (9 snd blocks + 8 sgap game/excluded-stub gaps);
integrate window 0x3A444..0x4239C; region byte-verified 60/60
- src/800.c trimmed at [0x3A444,0x4239C): kept 732 items < 0x3A444 (ALL matched C +
game + the deferred SSGM stub preserved), 0 real-C moved
- dual byte-gate PASS: 143dbb89 with and without the sound objects
- LINKED 710 -> 935 (+225); REAL still 43; byte-identical 48.66% (nearly half the EXE)
- deferred: SSGM.o @0x1BD80 (isolated, matched-C region, 8 ins)
- NEW tools/gen_lib_subsegs.py: generate splat subseg lines + integrate stub list for a
multi-block library (section-size-correct block ends — bakes in the libc2/T6 boundary
gotcha so it can't recur). Reused for libspu/libsnd next.
- libgte = GTE math, 53 objects in 22 blocks across the old 800b region (game code
interleaved as 800b/800b_2..800b_7). Resegmented from the generator; integrate window
0x4787C..0x51804 so it sees exactly the 22 in-region blocks
- 5 libgs-gap libgte objects (MTX_05/07/11/REG03/REG11) DEFERRED — gsgap1/2/4/5 stay
stubs (gsgap2 != MTX_07 exactly, needs a sub-split); documented in worklist
- progress.py linked_subsegs() now resolves `$(VAR)` stub lists (LIBGTE_STUBS) — the long
multi-block lists are passed via a make var
- region byte-verified 58/58 (clean, no scattered .bss); rm'd src/800b.c (region starts
with a lib block) so splat regenerates the fragments; 22 src/libgteN.c + 6 game frags
- dual byte-gate PASS: 143dbb89 with and without the libgte objects
- LINKED 590 -> 710 (+120); REAL still 43; byte-identical 37.93%
- reordered remaining libs value-first (libspu/libsnd next; dense libcard/libapi last)
- splat: libc2 C stdlib in 2 blocks — main 16-obj run libc2_1 (BZERO/MEMCPY/STRCMP/
PRINTF/PRNT[jtbl ok]/.../SETJMP) split from 800c, + STRCAT.o libc2_2 split from
800c2; new game-code fragments 800c3 + regenerated 800c2
- region byte-verified 17/17; PRNT.o printf-format jtbl resolves via NOLOAD .rodata
- BOUNDARY GOTCHA found + fixed: SETJMP.o .text is 0x80 B (8-align pad), not the
0x78 psyq_identify reports (30 ins) -> the libc2_1/800c3 boundary was 8 B too low,
overlapping SETJMP's padded tail; the relink inserted +8 padding and shifted the
whole downstream image (56k diff bytes, +8 file len). Fix: boundary = last obj's
readelf .text size (0x5CE18), not ins-count. Lesson recorded in docs/psyq-worklist.md
- when a library block sits at a subseg start, rm the old .c so splat regenerates it
- dual byte-gate PASS: 143dbb89 with and without the libc2 objects
- LINKED 528 -> 590; REAL still 43; byte-identical 32.25%
- splat: split 800c into [800c][libmcrd1][800c2][libmcrd2]; LIBMCRD.o (2186 ins,
the 55 LIBMCRD_OBJ_* + _card_* memcard I/O) and USERFUNC.o (68 ins) are 2
non-adjacent blocks split by game/libc2/libapi/libcard code (800c2)
- Makefile LIBMCRD_* + gated psyq_integrate libmcrd1,libmcrd2 + -T
- region byte-verified: 2/2 objects, 27 .bss commons all recovered (not scattered)
- src/800c.c trimmed (0 real-C moved); src/{libmcrd1,800c2,libmcrd2}.c committed
- dual byte-gate PASS: 143dbb89 with and without the libmcrd objects
- LINKED 424 -> 528; REAL still 43; byte-identical 29.29%
- NB: these are the libmcrd SDK objects; the game SaveLoadRoutine/Q#5 is Phase 12
- splat: split 800b2 into [800b2][libgpu][800c]; libgpu block = EXT.o+PRIM.o
(vram 0x80058890-0x80059234, holds LoadClut/LoadClut2 + primitives)
- SYS.o (3109 ins) EXCLUDED — scattered-.bss commons (cookbook §9.1, the GS_001
class): SYS references .bss by section+offset but the original linker scattered
the commons across 0x80078xxx/0x800c5xxx, so no single NOLOAD base reproduces it.
Stays a byte-identical INCLUDE_ASM stub in 800c; documented in docs/psyq-worklist.md
- curated dir .run/obj40/libgpu_used = {EXT,PRIM} (validates the _used mechanism for
the later alias libraries); Makefile LIBGPU_* + gated psyq_integrate + -T
- src/800b2.c trimmed; src/libgpu.c + src/800c.c committed (stub records); the trim's
9 "moved" items were all splat-auto empties (regenerated identically, 0 real lost)
- dual byte-gate PASS: 143dbb89 with libgpu objects AND without (stub fallback)
- LINKED 375 -> 424; REAL still 43; byte-identical 24.32%
- LzssDecodeSector (0x80018730): asm-differ score 0, make check BYTE-IDENTICAL;
NON_MATCHING guard dropped (C is the default build)
- closed the session-E ~4 regalloc/scheduling residuals via the §3a research tier
(ground-truthed vs pinned gcc-2.7.2 reorg.c/jump.c/local-alloc.c) + a floor-free
.text object metric (the permuter could not measure it: rodata/jtbl score floor)
- 5 LOAD-BEARING constructs documented in src/800.c + cookbook §10:
(A) decoupled nh high-byte var + (code&0xFF)|(nh<<8) operand order [combine_regs]
(B) result set in save predecessors [reorg fill_simple_delay_slots]
(B/state-2) explicit register $2 local + early read-only input-asm pin [sched]
(B3) no switch default -> state>=5 reuses the sltiu result
(§5a) zero-byte cross-jump barrier (retained)
- cookbook §10 added (reusable regalloc/schedule-tail idioms + the .text metric),
§5a cross-linked; CURRENT_PHASE task + green-log updated (Gen1-exit LZSS gate MET)
