IDA 7.7 not work 😰

[steve007iii]

One of my favorite plugins when upgrading my (IDA) I realized that it doesn't run on 7.7
there is no problem with dependencies

I think the fixes are too small for it to run on 7.7 and I don't have any Phytom knowledge to do anything.

IDA 7.7
python-3.10.5

pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/tmr232/Sark.git#egg=Sark

didn't have time to check this yet - but it looks like an extra \ ("Mark\\Unmark") would solve this one. That said - there may be more issues, as I don't think DIE is currently Python3 compatible.

Too bad it still has more bugs, but at least your recommendation fixed something...😢
I think we would have to wait for a Python3 compatible solution.
This breaks my heart because maybe this is for a long time.
