- Hi, IMHO, the way i would try to solve the problem is by going
- through all the programs' segments picking up all the different
- calls which are addressed to the program itself (not to outside
- libraries or devices), which is easy to solve cuz every such
- call must use the A6 as the base register and so every other
- call is to code within the program, then all there's to be done
- is go to these routines and translate them one by one without
- the need to actually execute the program at all!!! you'll get to
- every last byte which is code automatically, which saves alot of
- time trying trying to get there by running the program to that
- point.
- Avi.
