Pre-patcher for Swiss 0.1 r-17

Pre-patcher for Swiss

Usage example:
sd-boot-RC4-prepatch.exe file.gcm

Purpose:
Some backups contain multiple .dol or .elf files inside the game, even .dol files inside smaller .gcm(.tgc) files within the iso itself (demo discs - EA games).
Since Swiss can only patch what the apploader loads,
there will be a point in the game where SD-Boot will simply stop working if
a game contains more than one executable file which will be loaded later.

This pre-patcher should clear up those issues for most of those titles.

Examples that require this pre-patcher:
Need for Speed HP2
Mario Soccer
007 Agent under fire
Zelda Collectors editions etc
Many demos

and even then some more..

Note:
BEFORE USING THIS, MAKE A COPY OF THE FILE YOU'RE ABOUT TO PATCH,
IT WILL OVERWRITE IT!

This will only work with Swiss 0.1 - revision 17 on wards

    Given their first studio album is nearly 30 years old I'd consider it "old" at this point :( as much as it pains me to say so

    In high school, I got an Ipod Nano 5th gen
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    still have it, still works
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My first mp3 player was a 4th gen ipod w/ click wheel, 20GB. Thing was slick as hell back then and I wish I still had it today. Kicker was when I got it, we still had win98 on our home PC, minimum requirements for itunes was winXP, and my parents wouldn't upgrade 😭

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    original Ipods had massive storage, it was pornographic
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I never used itunes, always used one of those programs to bypass it, just drag and drop
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I didn't know the other programs at the time :( honestly not even sure if any existed yet at that point
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I just googled and drag and drop seemed to be possible at the time
