Hi, after following all the steps in the "getting_started.md" file until the first analysis, the program crashed with this error:

I am trying to decompile Wii Sports, is this an issue on my part, or is it a bug in the decompiler? I have attached the generated splits, the generated symbols and my config.

splits.txt symbols.txt config - copy.txt

One of the rodata sections that dtk detected is actually .BINARY (note the existing Wii Sports decomp here, it has it labeled .file, but .BINARY is the correct section name).

You can rename that section in splits.txt, delete symbols.txt and let it regenerate.

Thanks for the help! It actually made it work, but it is probably better if I use the already made decomp, but I just cant find "codewarrior/GC/3.0" anywhere... Can you maybe help we with this in some way or another?

[encounter]

You’ll already have it under build/compilers, dtk-template downloads it automatically.

[gwoonryan]

The decompilation specifically asks for the versions "2.7, 3.0 and 3.0a3" I found 2.7 and 3.0a3 there but not 3.0 unfortunately... Is it supposed to be there?

[encounter]

I think 3.0a5 is the right version for that, but I’m unsure.

[gwoonryan]

I think this actually works, I will test some more but thank you so much!

[encounter]

No problem!
