Best tool for disassembling Amiga m68k on Windows/Linux

fuzzylogic · 11 December 2023, 18:32

Hi guys,

what is the best m68k Amiga disassembler right now? I tried radare2 and ghidra but somehow they do not use "motorola syntax", e.g. they do move.l #0x1234,d0 instead of move.l #$1234,d0 and a lot more annoying ("Amiga uncommon") formatting / output.

Is there something like ReSource on Amiga for example?

I keep coming back to ReSource all the time. When I'm on a Windows machine, I'm simply using it in WinUAE.

I have moved to Ghidra from Resource. I use this in combination with the WinUAE debugger to get more insight into the code while running. The code syntax is different, but I figure only one person has to write a post-processor to convert it to what vasm might accept for instance.. and I don't see it being onerous if I do it when I need to.

you need mit2mot like tools

Yeah, I see mit2mot does regular expressions. That's pretty much what I was expecting to have to write and to be enough to do the bulk of the work.

Thanks guys for your suggestions and input. As I thought.. I was afraid that there is nothing good. I used *cough* IDA Pro for a while it was the best of all I tried.

Seems that ReSource on the Amiga is simply state of the art for Amiga stuff and when you want to have the source in a textfile.

I will take a look at mit2mot. This sounds like at least a workaround.
