Ghidra RPX/RPL loader

This is a (WIP) simple extension to open .rpx and .rpl files with Ghidra.

Dependencies

This loader uses the Gekko/Broadway processor definitions for Ghidra if found - it is recommended that this should be installed prior to using the loader.

The loader will fallback to the default PowerPC processor if the Gekko/Broadway language is not found, but do not expect good results if the program uses any paired single instructions.

Building

  • Ensure you have JAVA_HOME set to the path of your JDK 17 installation.
  • Set GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR to your Ghidra install directory. This can be done in one of the following ways:
    • Windows: Running set GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR=<Absolute path to Ghidra without quotations>
    • macos/Linux: Running export GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR=<Absolute path to Ghidra>
    • Using -PGHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR=<Absolute path to Ghidra> when running ./gradlew
    • Adding GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR to your Windows environment variables.
  • Run ./gradlew
  • You'll find the output zip file inside /dist

Installation

  • Copy the zip file to <Ghidra install directory>/Extensions/Ghidra.
  • Start Ghidra and use the "Install Extensions" dialog to finish the installation. (File -> Install Extensions...).

Usage

  • Choose the Gekko/Broadway/Espresso language if asked
