Ugh, the already ridiculously expensive IDA Pro support renewal is $90 more expensive than last year ($469 vs $379). Maybe they really do want to keep encouraging people to switch to an alternative or write their own.

Every time I try @radareorg I stumble upon something that makes it useless. I just tried it and it's sign-extending 32-bit PowerPC addresses to 64 bits, thus breaking all xrefs on targets in the upper half of the address space. Like the Wii target I just tried it on. Fail.

What about filling an issue or sharing a reproducer oneline? this sounds like a 1 line fix. And probably related to capstone, not directly r2. There are other disassembler and analysis plugins for powerpc in r2land…

Also, just how out-of-date a version of capstone it ends up using is often very distro-dependent from what I can tell.

Which is fine, but as I said, first impressions. If I'm going to try $software my first instinct is going to be 'emerge $software', try it, and if it fails spectacularly at the first single task I give it, I probably won't go "well maybe git is fixed, let me spend time on that".
