Regarding the NDS injection, Need For Speed Most Wanted crashes the Wii U, and it's only a 32 MB/256 Mbit ROM, can anyone else confirm this? NTSC-U ROM. :blink:
I will try later today (3 am here, need sleep lol) over Kirby Squeak Squad.

Only NES to go! :P
we can do nes
wellllll.nes injection works....but its a bit of a pain in the arse, you have to upload PRG and CHR separately into ram....even though there is another instance of the whole rom together in ram the one used by the system is split up

anyone wanting to have a go of it PRG is at 0x10BC83F0 and CHR is at 0x10DC83F0....this is where it is with zelda 2 anyway i dont have any other NES VC to see if its the same across all games, and i only tested snakes revenge as it also uses 128kb CHR&PRG.....i dont know if trying to inject bigger roms will work

ok tested a few more, zelda 1 worked, castlvania 2 worked,metroid works, smb 3 didn't (wasn't really expecting it to as it uses mmc3 mapper and is bigger than zelda 2)
but its more complicated than snes/nds/gba as the roms are split and mapper settings etc are defined by the base rom which means compatibility is limted not only by rom size, but what settings the base rom uses too

Unfortunately the person who was helping me can't get dumping a NDS VC's ROM to work.
So I'm going to request:
Could someone give a link an upload of a patch (to an existing NSMB dump) for NSMB from either or both VC regions? And if the game has any external patches (in the executable or in the FS) could you post that? I own the game.

You now run a big risk of getting a warning for asking about it...or getting banned
This forum has rules, but i think you know that

Yeah, I would prefer a patch to an already dumped version of New Super Mario Bros. And the official patches are patches anyway (and are possibly very small or just text files), so...

einstein95 (a TCRF admin) has said that NES Remix ROMs are the same as known dumps. The game does stuff on the fly to make it into "Super Luigi Bros.". (The data for that would be in the FS or executable I guess).

when you make gecko work inside loadiine yes, but i dont think that is technicaly possible.
it's due to kernel address.
I wonder what these addresses range are used for.

it's only to "load" the loadiine payload, or it needs access to specific functions in that memory area?
Dimok made a smaller payload using Fix94 elf loader. the html payload then loads the (bigger) .elf files.
does the elf files also need that loadiine kernel adresses ?
I guess I'll try to load the old kernel and loadiine elf loader to see by myself.

edit:
loadiine says "no Ksploit".
but I don't know if it can be changed now that the payload is smaller.

yeah i got the stock mario bros nes rom from nes remix, but i guess there is a patch file in there somewhere too.....a ram dump might be able to get the pre-patched rom from ram assuming its patched prior to loading on the fly

I just created a new git project for a global inject exe supporting SNES, GBA and NDS! Just make sure to read the stuff in the README and please report back if I messed up or not :D

I'm not having any luck with NDS injection. I've changed the IP, and tried injecting Pokemon Ranger (32mb) into Mario Kart DS (32mb), but the CMD window just says "Searching for Nintendo Logo Start". I'm following the steps exactly as instructed on Github. I also tried using Brain Training as the base, but that resulted in the same issue.

brain training that uses rom.nds? this method was not tested on rom.nds but on rom.zip

btw to inject you need to run kernel then run tcpgecko on fix94 page(all other tcpgeckos dont work becuase they arent update yet) then start the rom and enter VC menu only then you can inject.

I've unfortunately got the updated Brain Training that has the rom.zip. From what I can tell, it was only the promotional free version that uses the rom.nds
My issue is probably with TCPGeckon then, as I'm using the one on wj44's site :P. I'll try again and report back.
