Project Midage: An index of w9x internals

[pseudo linden]

So uhh I was studying w9x and i thought it would be cool if someone made some script to convert ancient SYMDEB symbols used in Windows 9x to something else that works on newer tools and serve this data to dear community.

This repository currently includes tools to convert SYMDEB symbols (via symread32) into CSV, process them into YAML, list file paths, and demangle decorated names to use.

Big thanks to IProgramInCpp and Starfrost for their help with the SYMDEB format.

next step will be pseudocode and c header generation

pipeline will need to handle LE and NE formats

[pseudo linden]

i will use r2pipe

[pseudo linden]

pls dm me any server with a significant population of windows 9x modders/enthusiasts

and any local checked build of w9x

[pseudo linden]

I preprocessed most of Windows 98 DDK headers to later be used for ghidra and matching

[timid chasm]

inspired by vergellius?

[pseudo linden]

yep

[pseudo linden]

i lost motivation for this but i guess i can adapt this for other os and programs

[severe fable]

that's a shame

damn, did you make any other progress or find any other info before giving up?

[pseudo linden]

i finally started disassembling and made a more documentation like ui

but fr if you people really cared about this work i can continue

my studies are over too

[paper fractal]

I'm interested

And also would love to see it documented for posterity

[pseudo linden]

I will finish this in mid-october

I've collected every 9x symbol file i could find

and disassembler works fine but i need to study more about legal implications
