NSO header missing from tree/listing #38

Closed GGLinnk closed 1 year ago

GGLinnk commented 1 year ago

I just noticed that when loading an NSO/exefs the loader deletes everything before the "MOD0" magik. That means the NSO header.

Is this a desired behavior? I find this strange. I haven't seen this behavior on other binary formats.

If this is desired. Can I have a little explanation as to why it has to be done this way?

I would have loved to not create an issue about it but discussion is closed.

Yes. NSO header is never loaded to RAM as part of module, so loader follows official HOS behavior.

Yes, @masagrator is correct. This behaviour is also intended to be consistent with the equivalent IDA loader, minimising any confusion in transitioning between the two.
