Hacking Another DLDITool implementation

Xenon++ · Feb 3, 2010

Hi,

I'm making a workaround to boot commercial roms on MoonShell 2.07 or later.

I'd like to set the license more freely, but dlditool(I have to use it for auto DLDI-Patch in loading nds) is distributed under GPL.
So I'd like to ask you, "Are there any implementation of DLDITool not under GPL?"

It has been some time since I poked around the DLDI methodology but while the location of the DLDI patch/memory section does vary it has magic stamps/strings/cookies to identify it and the relevant data following it (usually fixed size).

After that it is your basic search and replace (probably in memory), indeed it might be even easier to look at some of the autopatch dodging tools as they are somewhat "purer".

For now I'm using modified dlditool to read from/write to memory.

>autopatch dodging tools
Possibly my search is bad, but I cannot find one w/source.

Sorry I was actually looking at it just after the reply:

DLDInoap does only replace the magic string with "NOAP Chishm". So isn't dlditool alternative.

OK, I have rewritten dldi.c http://gbatemp.net/index.php?s=&showto...t&p=2583434
