Just a quick question, is it possible to apply certain HOOKS when loading codes for games through USB GX or any other usb loader or is this done only through GECKO OS????

I have codes for Final Fantasy CB and it's saying that you need to apply the "OSSleepThread hook" to run codes??? Can someone explain what this is???

there are different methods for the code handler to hook the game to allow it to apply cheats. in GX we always use the VI hooktype. for now youll have to edit the source code to use any other hooktype.

Thanks Giantpune, when you say you have to edit the source code do you mean in GX?? If so then this might be a long shot but can you tell me where in the source code do I edit, I have little, sorry, NO experience in code but I have used the code for GX in the early days to give me my own .dol

Thanks in advance.

    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think

    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful

    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
