Hacking PRELOADER v.25 Released

[kavid]

The only hack that comes to mind that I don't see is the move disc channel one.

it is posted a few pages back but is only for 289 (3.2U)

Thank you a lot.

For those who tried the 'Disc Area Check' code - posted earlier:
The code for 'Disc Area Check' which I posted for PAL was working for me on my Wii with my chip set to 'PAL Patching', which used to conflict with the 'GameCube Region Free with Video Mode Patching' until I disabled the chip from doing its own 'RegionFrii' type patching..
It looks like the 2 offsets and values are taken from the USA version, so it looks like it is forcing the thing to look like it is NTSC, making those alternate region NTSC GameCube games (like the Metroid Prime I was testing) work properly - I did have to try uninstall/reinstall a couple times and save a couple times for it to 'kick in', and was a bit twitchy for some reason when trying to debug with it on/off - perhaps a bug in PreLoader.. no idea!

Anyways, the codes I gave for the USA version are basically the reverse - it's the PAL values (in the correct offsets proportionately for the USA System Menu) - that's the best I can do with what I have, since there's no codes for the USA System Menu in the AnyRegion Changer v1.1b mod05 source code, and appears to only have the 'Disc Area Check' for PAL only..

Try experiment with disabling all GC Region Free with Video Mode Hacks and the Disc Area Check, saving those settings, rebooting to the System Menu, switching off, then putting all 4 codes back on, saving, going to System Menu, rebooting, and seeing if it makes a difference then - I know it eventually made my Metroid Prime USA work properly on my Wii, with my chip set to patching for PAL, which never worked in the past..

I'll let you know what I did to get the codes when I get back home..

Here's how I got those codes for the 'Disc Area Check' from the AnyRegion Changer v1.1b mod05 source code:

Here's the string it searches for in the source code:
const u8 disc_area_check1[] = {0x48, 0x00, 0x12, 0x8C, 0x48, 0x00, 0x1C, 0x69, 0x2C, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x40, 0x82, 0x00, 0x1C};

The Disc Area Check 2 is for Chinese/Korean Wiis.

That above translates into:
4800128C48001C692C0300004082001C

I took my PAL 3.2E System Menu DOL and searched for that string, and found it started at offset 0x000480A0.

This is the point in the source code mentioning what to do to patch the bytes:

if (!found_disc_ac && !memcmp(buf+i, disc_area_check1, sizeof disc_area_check1)){
*((u16 *)&buf[i+12]) = 0x4800;
*((u32 *)&buf[i+48]) = 0x60000000;
printf("\b ");
found_disc_ac ++;
}

It says that from the starting offset (0x000480A0) count +12 (so on the 13th hex) patch the bytes at that point to 0x4800, and count +48 (so on the 49th hex) patch the bytes to 0x60000000.
That would mean start patching at offset 0x000480AC for the first one, and 0x000480D0 for the second one.

I figure that PreLoader has all its offsets starting at 0x8132FAE0, so any codes found in a hex editor in the System Menu are just added to that offset to be the starting offset in the PreLoader hacks.ini
That means, simply add that to 480AC and 480D0 to get the offsets for the codes for use in PreLoader, and the bytes to patch as well.

For the USA System Menu DOL, the string to search for is slightly different, with the ending 8 bytes being different - basically, this PAL patch takes the USA values and puts them in their place, so I assume that the same would work for USA -> PAL..
