I like electronics, computers, #hardwarehacking, #reverseengineering, MSP430 and other embedded. i was drawn to mastodon by all the cool ppl moving here.
since those are exports they have names assigned by developer (and therefore human-readable) and not by Iaito, which is very nice for me.
and i'm looking at exports, the program shows me demangled symbols which is very good because they're more readable, they're actually program's guesses on function definitions.

okok, i do be back until dinner needs my attention, and i might wirte down moreorless exactly what i'm doing so my posts noone reads have some educational value.

I've opened the 20sys_R.dll in iaito (my reverse engineering program of choice, they are all fine, most ppl use Ghidra as far as i know)

I'm too sleepy do to any of it rn.
Actually it should be possible to make a C program that loads this .dll and uses it to decompress my files. Or i might look at it long and hard enough to decipher metadata structure.
There's a .dll with a Very Informative Name 20sys_R.dll that exports those functions.
And (of course) decoding .vol file magic is not in this .exe, since it imports functions that seem related.
Ok, it seems to be the program i'm looking for. Ofc i didn't tell you what it is that i'm looking for. It's how they get their filenames for inline images from those .vol files.
I'm just looking trough the strings and i see hardcoded scripts. yea

Soo after not touching the whole encyclopedia thingy for a long time i randomly decided to try to reverse engineer its executables.

I semi randomly picked an .exe. The file is called MEP_2003.exe and i can't remember any context for it because i don't
