Hacking JGecko U Setup Guide

[BullyWiiPlaza]

I thought I'd installed Java wrong but the program was still working xD

Yes, because it just shows the message and then works afterwards. I just forgot to remove that message

Well, I've tried everything under the sun to open JGecko U.jar, even the double-click and CMD trick... and after the message, nothing happens.

Alright, I know why. I removed the memory enforcement code I had in there. It's possible that it won't start if the system doesn't give you that memory:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap

This was for improving the unknown search anyway but it's not worth it after all if it causes any problems.

Also, you can manually increase the amount of memory the program can use of course but setting it too high will fail.

How would I find the highest address in the RAM?

By the way, why is pretty much anything to do with codes called gecko?

Because of the great Gecko OS from the Wii. It started it

Is there going to be a pause game function to halt the game?

There already is in the Threads tab....Right click on a thread and toggle state.

It's not connecting for me. I get this message

Just found a small annoying bug, if you rename the folder to something else like "tcpgecko_BullyWiiPlaza" it will fail to find codehandler.bin

Try the auto detect feature as well but it's a setup/user error if this happens.

I know, this is because of how it's implemented. It looks for the folder:

int ret = LoadFileToMem("sd:/wiiu/apps/TCPGecko/codehandler.bin", &Badbuffer, &filesize);

Maybe someone knows how to make this relative to the ELF e.g. by just writing

codehandler.bin

or similar.

What's a thread? I feel like I should know this by now

Is there a thread I can toggle and it will pause the game (like, halt it)?

Yes, the main thread or just experiment.

Thanks a million!

I saw your advanced memory viewer search video. What makes it different to a normal search?
