I patched the main.dol of a PAl copy and it's working just fine, 249 rev 17 and neogamma 8, still not working with usb loader gx 929

alphawing · May 19, 2010

nvm,it matched,my bad
Testing it now on neogamma and usbloader gx

farcry15 · May 19, 2010

yeah it wouldn't work in usbloader gx, gonna try wiiflow next

and does anyone even have the ntsc version? both copies i tried had the id RPWZ41 one of the two pal versions listed on wiitdb. i guess it's a multilanguage version?

XFlak · May 19, 2010

does anyone know if the patch is the same for NTSC? @WiiCrazy, you never said what version you originally made the patch for

alphawing · May 19, 2010

Update :

So Far it works on Neogamma R9 + Ios249 Rev 17 : Home menu works and game doesnt hang so far.

Will keep on updating.

WiiCrazy · May 19, 2010

Oops sory, it was for NTSC version of the game... I haven't even touched the PAL one....

ps : btw, only thing I did is swap the device names... (maybe it works by just changing one letter in each... I chose the hard way thinking there might be a lame checksumming)

royrob69 · May 19, 2010

so we can say it's working for both NTSC and PAL copy

BOTCK · May 19, 2010

pal - main.dol has the same bytes.
patched it, now im testing.

farcry15 · May 19, 2010

works perfect in wiiflow, home menu works, and no freeze at chests
thanks wiicrazy!
i have pal version btw

Helsionium · May 19, 2010

It appears that there's no difference between the PAL dol and the NTSC dol anyway. I found the strings you patched in your NTSC dol at the same offset in the PAL dol.

alphawing · May 19, 2010

Confirmed,works with Neogamma + Ios249 Rev 17 perfectly

No freezing neigher at chests,nor at monsters,nor at Home.

Works perfectly,now to try to get it to USBLoader GX ^^

P.S : Yes,PAL has same strings as NTSC,i had a "View" error so i didnt see the same things.

Off to sleep now,Regards Alpha.

BOTCK · May 19, 2010

CFG Usbloader won't run, but Neogamma does (no freeze on home button)

THANKS!

brunchmiracle · May 19, 2010

works with my Cfg usb loader, on 249 with anti-002 on!

Anti-002 fix possibly not needed.

panmusic · May 19, 2010

Does the patch works for 249rev17 only?

farcry15 · May 19, 2010

here's a PPF patch if you don't want to edit the main.dol
~~http://www.mediafire.com/?y2bdi4hjkik~~
apply it to the main.dol with a ppf patcher

EDIT: this file has been reported to not correctly patch the main.dol use the .wip patch instead.

Should work on both hermes and waninkoko's on latest revisions (I have only tested ciosXrev19 but the patch implies that it should work)

BOTCK · May 19, 2010

Works for me on:

cISO rev 17 and Neogamma RC2.

With settings do you use, to get it to run with CFG Loader (V56) ?

Care to elaborate? I dont understand how to patch this with pop...

Dr. Clipper · May 19, 2010

Ugh, I was hoping you guys would have read a little bit more into my posts to make this a full patch. I'm glad to hear it works, though (I've always known the patch method, just not where to install it as I don't have the game and won't until I buy it).

Now, for the concept of how we create the full patch.

Let's take your example. What it does is change this:

Code:

007AAC60 36 6b 6c 7d 36 7a 6b 70 76 36 *7a 6b 6f 6a* 00 00
007AAC70 36 6b 6c 7d 36 *7c 7a 69 39* 00 00 00 36 6b 6c 7d
007AAC80 36 74 *73 76 68 6b* 00 00 3c 71 72 83 3c 80 71 76 
007AAC90 7c 3c *80 71 75 70* 00 00 3c 71 72 83 3c *82 80 6f
007AACA0 3f*

to this:

Code:

007AAC60 36 6B 6C 7D 36 7A 6B 70 76 36 *6F 6A 7A 6B* 00 00
007AAC70 36 6B 6C 7D 36 *69 39 7C 7A* 00 00 00 36 6B 6C 7D
007AAC80 36 74 *68 6B 73 76* 00 00 3C 71 72 83 3C 80 71 76
007AAC90 7C 3C *75 70 80 71* 00 00 3C 71 72 83 3C *6F 3F 82
007AACA0 80*

the differences are highlighted with stars. Now to do this in a .wip patch, we just take the offsets and data as so:

Code:

007AAC6A 7A6B6F6A 6F6A7A6B
007AAC75 7C7A6939 69397C7A
007AAC82 7376686B 686B7376
007AAC92 80717570 75708071
007AAC9D 82806F3F 6F3F8280

OK, so take that text, put it into a text file and place it in sd:/usb-loader/GAMEID.wip and Cfg will automatically find the patch and apply it for you. No downloading of alternate files, no Wii scrubbing, no distribution of illegal code, no need to apply ppfs.

PLEASE NOTE: the above .wip patch is for NTSC only and WiiCrazy will have to tell us the ID of the version of the game that came from. PAL may be in a different position, but will be easy to find and the patch justa s easily applied as I show there.
