If you're trying to disassemble a game using RealLive v1.5 or later, you'll have to figure out the game specific key, passed to rldev with -y. I vaguely remember getting bytecode parsing errors when trying to disassemble one game or another.

The rldev parser is incomplete. If you intend to debug this, you should:

Keep the rldev manual open, especially section 5.7.1, which is about the select command. (I assume this is where you'll be working due to read_select being in the error message.)
You'll probably want to start in src/kprl/disassembler.ml. read_select is defined there.
For debugging purposes, you'll want to run kprl with -x for extract instead of -d for disassemble. This will give you a bunch of .uncompressed files that are the decrypted bytecode, but not disassembled. Look at these files in a hex editor for what binary string isn't being parsed correctly.
If you do figure out the new select syntax, please send a pull request on github so I can integrate your patch.

That worked perfectly, thanks. My only question now is, when I did managed to dissamsemble SEEN into its various parts, I got a lot of different error messages about the resulting code. A whole bunch of "out of parameters", an unimplemented function, and the odd message "expected '{', found 0x0a in read_select".

I forgot to mention this, but I'm using eglaysher's 98772 fork of RLDev.

Type this in to command line:

HTML Code:

set RLDEV=PATH_TO_YOUR_RLDEV

Follow the RLDev manual for the rest (or see this thread when I asked the same question for another game 5 years ago)

I'm currently attempting to translate Kichiku Megane, an old RealLive engine VN. I'm having trouble de-encrypting SEEN.txt into anything that resembles anything, so I thought I'd try eglaysher's updated fork of RLDev. When I boot up kprl in the command line, though, I get the following error:

Quote:

Error:Error:unable to locate reallive.kfn. Try setting $RLDEV to your RLDev installation directory.

As fair as I know, the installation directory is usually the folder where all the program files are kept after a program is installed, but as far as I can tell, I never actually installed any part of RLDev; it's all run from the folder I downloaded. $RLDev doesn't seem to refer to anything contained therein, and I can't find any info about it online, reallive.kfn is in the lib folder.

This may be a newb question, but how do I set $RLDev like the program wants me to?
