Doesn't create a config yml for ps2 title

Hey! Thanks for your bug report.

Sadly create_config currently does not support generating a yaml for PS2 games. You'll have to create a yaml from scratch. You could use kh1's yaml as a reference: https://github.com/ethteck/kh1

I agree the script should probably give an error message for not supported formats tho.

There was talk of reading some data from the ELF header to distinguish different elf types.. i think that checking the arch is 5900 seems good enough?

Specifically looking at the e_flags (see EF_MIPS_MACH_5900 = 0x00920000, // MIPS R5900).

>>> with open("SCUS_974.72", "rb") as f:
...   data = f.read()
>>> int.from_bytes(data[0x24:0x28], byteorder="little") & 0x00920000 == 0x00920000
True

Believe the accurate flags will be 0x2092xxxx
0x20000000 for EF_MIPS_ARCH_3 (MIPS3 instruction set)
0x00920000 for EF_MIPS_MACH_5900 (MIPS R5900)

EABI seems to sometimes vary between binaries, but very commonly is in 64 bit mode (0x4000).

I confirmed with Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, and Sly Cooper, all of which have the flag 0x20924001.
Kingdom Hearts 2 was an outlier in the KH series with the flag 0x20920001, seemingly not setting an eabi flag.
Both Radiata Stories and Rogue Galaxy, compiled with MWCCPS2 instead of ee-gcc, similarly had the flag 0x20924000.

My thoughts for just looking for 0x0092 was that it should be enough without having to worry about any edge cases. As it stands create_config doesn't support ps2, so the 5900 arch would be sufficient. Ps2 and onwards are going to see more games written in c++ than plain c, so I'm not sure how many more platforms can be added without major work

[Yotona]

I'm not aware of any other device ever using r5900 besides ps2, so that's probably completely accurate enough as is, though I think that 0x20000000 would always be present for ps2, since EE utilizes a custom variation of mips 3, leading the check to be for 0x2092 rather than 0x0092.
Another possible benefit from the elf header on ps2, though I'm uncertain if it would be something parseable during create_config, is the e_entry pointing to the initial segment of the crt0.s file, which distinctly provides information such as the the address that the bss segment begins, the main function, and the address that the binary officially begins, such as 0x88 for KH or 0x1008 for Parappa, as a couple examples, which -8 to account for padding would provide the address for the first subsegment split of a given ps2 binary, like kh1's [0x80, asm, crt0] and Parappa's [0x1000, asm, sce/crt0]
