For some reason, apt-get didn't work for me, so I had to follow these instructions (top answer). I downloaded the JDK, but I imagine the same instructions would work for the JRE. Didn't see this here last time. And gee golly, Oracle sure does fucking love it's users - see how easy they make updating!

I'd also look to make sure they haven't added it to apt-get before writing that off. Honestly, though... I may just deprecate the Java version (although I suppose it could still be useful). It's annoying to maintain both a C# and a Java version. You might as well just get everything working with Wine. I'll play around on Ubuntu and see if I can get it to work. I've got an update coming, mostly for pseudoinstruction support, but that's the C# version.

Though I'll be the only person using the Java version, so IDK about that. There are C# and VB compilers that are cross-platform. And I bet that it will work with Wine, but I can't update Wine until I update my OS, can't update my OS until I have an external (this is getting old).

However, there doesn't seem to be any way to open JMassHexASM with anything but the JDK 1.6, which is what I used to have installed. I tried to add JRE 1.7 to the Open With prompt, but JRE 1.7 doesn't appear. A SaGa Frontier Hacking Forum The best image hosting service on the internet. And it's free. ENTD Helper What is CISPA?

If java -version does give you 1.7, then java -jar JMassHexASM.jar should run it. Not sure why the UI would be dumb there.

They don't even have an encoding. Actual program code consists of all real instructions, without exception. There could just be a few instructions that your disassembler doesn't recognize. I know LEDecoder for one isn't perfect... there are even a few commands in FFT that it marks as unknown. I think they may be graphics or coprocessor calls but I'm not sure. (Example: Some effect files have ASM at the top of them and I get some unknowns in there.) If everything around the unknown line(s) seems to be valid code in the normal construct of a subroutine, it's probably that. And by that I mean: (subtract from sp/r29 - pSX makes this look like a huge addition) (save things to sp/r29, notably ra/r31) (valid code) (unknown) (valid code) (load things from sp/r29, notably ra/r31) (add to sp/r29) (jr ra/r31) (usually a nop)

	Re: (App) MassHexASM: Encode directly to little endian « Reply #51 on: April 28, 2012, 11:21:36 PM » None of that is actually code. Data can coincidentally be "decoded" to real instructions a lot of the time, because there are only so many possible encodings and a LOT of them are valid. It's just a matter of seeing whether or not what's there actually makes any sense as code. That doesn't. It isn't. (Why would they overwrite r2 every single line?) Generally only the stuff that follows the "subroutine structure" that I mentioned in my last post is actually code. (Without the unknown, and the sp/r29 stuff may or may not happen) Try searching for jr r31 to try to find real code blocks.

	Re: (App) MassHexASM: Encode directly to little endian « Reply #55 on: May 11, 2012, 04:50:50 PM » That's interesting. I had the wrong encoding for jalr. Try opening mips_encode.dat in a text editor, find the line for jalr, and replace it with this: jalr : 5 : 000000s00000t00000001001 Then save the change and reload MHA. For "jalr r2,r31", you should get: 0040F809 (big endian). That seems to match up with what the pSX disassembler says the encoding is. I can add that fix to the next version of MHA, but that should do for now. I can also add a default r31 for the second argument fo jalr. From what I can tell, that's what it's supposed to default to, but for now, it'll just require both args.

It would be awesome if there were a checkbox that toggled deletion of text that isn't in code format. alot of times I make notes on the ASM routine in notepad and then c/p it to masshex, but then I have to erase each line of notes. If possible, thanks but it's requested at your liesure

	Re: (App) MassHexASM: Encode directly to little endian « Reply #58 on: January 07, 2013, 05:43:00 AM » You mean for notes being added to the end of ASM lines without any separator at all? Any text following # is treated as a comment and will be ignored (I'm also adding ; to that for the next iteration). Without some kind of character as a separator for a comment, I'm not sure if I can come up with a rule to determine where the ASM ends and where the comment begins. There are a few special characters (for example, the comma character, which separates the parameters for an instruction), and if a comment includes one of those characters, it's going to mess up the parsing of the instruction. If I have a separator character like #, I can just ignore that character and everything after it (which is what it currently does).
