Use a copy of your game and encrypt it - Get encrypted GameID and add it into infolib.dat along with this code for the gameid

For Infolib.dat

Code:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 AC AA 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 AB 00 00 28 AC 00 00
70 AB 00 00 E0 AC 00 00 FF FF FF FF 70 AD 00 00
A8 AE 00 00 9C AF 00 00 68 C8 00 00 60 BB 0F 00
68 48 00 00 FF FF FF FF EC C9 00 00 FF FF FF FF
48 09 00 00 64 F5 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF

You can use TTDT.exe to add it in - somewhere in thease fourm's!

For extinfo.dat file

Code:
0x02000450

1C 00 9F E5 00 10 90 E5 18 20 9F E5 02 00 51 E1
72 10 A0 03 08 10 C0 05 8E 10 A0 03 C4 10 C0 05
1E FF 2F E1 80 6C 13 02 34 5D 09 E0 

0x02000A18 8C FE FF EA

0x02003E60ÂÂ00 0C A0 E1 21 04 80 E1 00 10 A0 E3

0xc2339E40 F8 B5 04 1C

0x02339E50 09 E0 55 4F 

0x02339E70 4B 48 53 21

0x02339ED0 43 1C 03 E0

0x02339FA8 94 E8 3F 02

0x0233A1A8 

04 4A BA 42 02 D1 80 22 92 00 BF 18 01 A2 17 60
4F 60 0D E1 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF

0x0233A228

B8 20 00 23 88 60 CB 60 01 4A 01 3B 13 60 01 E0
B8 E8 3F 02

0x0233A2D8 85 42 3A E0

0x0233A3D4 0A 60 E7 E6

0x0233A50C 03 E0 00 21

0x023806B8 00 00 A0 E1

0xD0000000

Some how im not convinced about 0x02000A18 8C FE FF EA it sounds be more like to be 0x020009F8 8C FE FF EA - it's ment to cover 1E FF 2F E1 in the rom ?

EDIT : In the ROM with hex-edtor that will be 0x00004A18 and the over at 0x000049F8

Keep in mind that it still freezes even if you bypass errcode=-4, right after the intro. At least it did for mine.

You can bypass that errcode=-4 by using the encrypted ROM and the GameID from it - and add it into the infolib.dat using TTDT.exe program with the code abouth ^

I mean a copy of the original rom and then encrypt that one just to get the new gameID for the rom you are using!

Sorry, but I'm a bit confused. Are you saying you can actually play the game if you use a clean rom instead of one patched with the Hadoken patch? Can you tell me how you encrypted it too? I tried using eNDryptS Advanced v1.2, and I have no idea if I did it right.

Do note use a copy of your original ROM copy/paste

With eNDryptS Advanced v1.2 , just if you are a windows vista are 7's user run the program with administration right's , have the rom in the same folder - run the program press the 1 key should be done in a few sectionds - close program and it will be your encrypted rom

To get encrypted GameID use r4cee

http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA013928/bin/r4cce086.zip

Run it - right click, Add game - you will see three dot's ... next to dup? , click on that - loacte your encrypted rom - when selected your encrypted seciond part of the GameID will be in the two boxes - (Note) the first four part of the GameID will remain the same encrypted are original decrypted

You can use it to put into either infolib.dat are extinfo.dat along with the codes - with TTDT.exe !

You will still need the patch codes for bouth infolib.dat and extinfo.dat - Just the GameID for the game you are using - if not already there - (Note) Evey hex that is changed will chage the sectiond part of the GameID

So if you have a Patched rom - don't use codes for extinfo.dat - just infolib.dat - are it might confuse the ROM! - as extinfo.dat is kined of a patcher...

Hope this help's!

Well the code's can be taken out of extinfo.dat with ttdt.exe , just incase - (Note) tip , with ttdt after edit any of the file's - just save as a new file - over-rideing the original don't work to well just corrups either infolib.dat , extinfo.dat , savlib.dat , usercheat.dat


EDIT: TTDT.exe

Jesus. I bypassed errcode=-4 (thanks again) but now I'm getting a white screen of doom. Is this normal?

No lol...

Mabe the codes do need adding into extinfo.dat along with your encrypted gameID

Check over the GameID in extinfo.dat with just the first 4 part code , find it with BJ3E

Copy and paste it in extinfo.dat , should appear first on the list after that - just edit the GameID and save it as a New extinfo.dat - don't over-ride original - use that new extinfo.dat into the ttmenu folder

Quote from what i mentiond in my abouth post

If i had anuther DSlite back i would try it myself - I do have an R4 original!

I'm still getting the white screens
hate2.gif


This is what I've been doing (a lot):

1. Get a clean ROM, encrypt it with eNDryptS

2. Get the changed ID code using R4cce

3. Use TTDT to find BJ3E and change the ID to the new one you get from the encrypted ROM

4. Add in the hex codes

..Yet I'm still getting white screens of death. drwhojan, I'm sorry but could you upload your extinfo.dat and infolib.dat files anywhere?

What is your encrypted ROM GameID ? , The first part is always the same for each game - This as you know BJ3E for this game

The seciond part is needed, From your encrypted rom

I can edit the files for you and see if it works!- just need that sectiond part of the encrypted GameID you have ?

By the way did you use the original rom with your card ? - And not the encrypted rom ... - you need to just use the original one you have!

EDIT: Try chageing in extinfo.dat offset from 0x020000A18 to 0x0200009F0 and see if that work's - save as a new extinfo.dat - don't override the original extinfo.dat

I finally stopped having the romerr -=4 problem by following drwhojan's instructions, so thanks for that!

I can't get past the Haduoken title screen, it freezes as soon as I touch a button, but hey, it's progress.


If you are aware of where I went wrong, drwhojan, I would be most grateful if you would let me know!

Sorry, but it still won't work even when I tried changing 0x02000a18 to 0x02009f0...

The encrypted GameID I have is 57EDA662 . Thanks!

Can anybody else try too?

For now if you like use your encrypted clean 64 rom and play it with no$gba 2.6a - with GBA BIOS (nintendo logo) enabled in no$gba settings and save setting

no$zommer will make it a whole lot bigger on your screen!
