Sorry Dimok & Devs I know we are greedy and always ask for more etc..., but is it feasible to apply signature check patcher to IOSU memory (register,...), so that those patches can remain in permanent memory, and not only in volatile memory?
I'm not talking about coldboothax since I know that hack is very risky. Thanks!

What steps should I take to migrate from dimok's fw.img fork, which is coldbooted by haxchi, to this? Do I just modify the syshax.xml to point at this ELF file? Where should I put it (SD or NAND)?

Can someone help me with this? :)

Edit: Nevermind, kinda solved it :)

Hi,
Just tested out the new CFW IOSUHAX thing and I think I've found a problem loading V-Wii games. Just as the console reboots in to Vwii mode it freezes on a black screen and has to be unplugged to turn it off.

I've tried it a few times with the same results. Tested again with the old IOSUHAX and with the recent sig_patcher and it works fine with both of them.

As for a name, what about something straigforward like syshax, sysUhax or Usyshax.

Thanks for all your hard work on this. It's all coming together nicely.

Yes it definitely is not working with vwii games I get the exact same problem.

Ah yes. Sorry I forgot about the vWii mode completely. It was quite simple to fix. Here are all the binaries from before with the vWii mode fixed:

Do you think it's possible to make a version of this that can be installed permanently for permanent sigpatches? (not CBH, but something similar?)

That is actually not that easy as the boot0/boot1 chain only boots signed code. If we modify the code the signature check will fail. For now the only option is to use the contenthax exploits.

Uh... yes, about that... Is there any contenthax aviable aside of haxchii? I mean, i have no DS game and basically tons of N64 CV games, i'd gladly sacrifice one of them.

@dimok Do you intend to update both, the signpatcher and "the new thing"? For the new thing, I'd call it IOSUHax lite.
No real reason to keep the signpatcher updated as the new thing does everything signpatcher does plus a lot more

What about Chaxchi? Play on words, chachi is colloquial Spanish for "cool" or "nice".

@dimok it is a pretty cool program after all? :)

Thank you for the release and the quick fix.
In any case the first release of the simple sign-patcher was a way faster than the last one, I know it has less functions :)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
