to make a not so big ups/ips etc. patchfile for an arm9 patch:DarthNemesis said:Added Geo Panels and a bunch of random menu text.
ARM9 Patch v0.2 (First apply Noitora's patch to a clean rom, then extract and apply this patch to arm9.bin)
1 first modify the arm9 file.
2 then open the unmodified arm9.bin in a hex editor.
3 copy the contents.
4 open the unmodified .nds in a hex editor and search for the content you copied earlier from the arm9.bin.
5 then open the modified arm9.bin, copy the contents, and paste it over the data found in step4.
then you should be able to make a small ips/ups patch.
this might not work if the modified arm9.bin is much larger than the original arm9.bin.
i used this method to make a 1kb ips patch for the guitar hero on tour arm9.bin button hack.
your original ups patch probably got so big because the unpacking/packing of the .nds trimmed the rom.
EDIT: succesfully generated a patch.
it's generated from a rom patched with noitora's latest menu patch, and with darth's latest arm9.bin and needs a clean rom.
size is 36KB
