007AAC75 7C7A6939 69397C7A
007AAC82 7376686B 686B7376

[Dr. Clipper]

New Cfg release with the PoP patch integrated into it:

http://gbatemp.net/t147638-configurable-us...t&p=2845659

Note the warning that you must disable the dvd patch if you want to use Hermes' IOS to run the game.

This means there's no more need to run the tests I asked for earlier.

More results:

The game froze and I hear a weird noise after 20 minutes of game play with WiiFlow cIOS249 rev17 and the patched main.dol.

 

[ocdetective]

Ran alt dol with hex edited main.dol in GX from sd card (renamed to correct game ID).
Tested initially in rev782 and cIOS rev9 to check if it worked ok - ran fine. Updated to latest stable rev874 and froze as per usual after the ubisoft splash screen.

Could everybody please always tell exactly which version of the game he has and which .wip file he is using? Not telling this all the time makes reading the thread nearly impossible, thanks.

@Dr. Clipper:
Sorry i didn't have time, now i have. The .wip file format is easy:
%offset inside the main.dol(same offset as in a hexeditor)%: %old value(doesn't matter)% %new value%
And everything in hex

There's an easy way to check if the .wip file is correct or the loader's code is failing:
Patch the main.dol with the .wip with Generic Wii Patcher and use the resulting .dol as alternative .dol from storage

[...]
Neogamma(Search Patch-Yes) works with First Wip Code, not with newest Wip.
[...]

If you say works, do you mean boots, or do you mean, boots, shows home screen when pressing home button and opening chests is possible?

 

[Master Mo]

The new update of CFG works great on this game, Dr.Clipper

I still don`t know what I did wrong with my .wip but it works now, so...

So i extracted the main.dol, fired up HxD and searched for 007AAC60 to be able to start modify the .dol file but i cannot find it...
Anybody knows what might be wrong?

Opened that in a hex editor, then i search for 007AAC60 (to find out where i should start edit) but i can´t find it anywhere...
So now im totally lost, i tried a PPF patch aswell, still doesnt work.

I can confirm that the game works with Neogama and the wip above, in fact both versions are working (RPWZ41 and SPXP41). I can't make a picture right now because I don't have the phone with me.

The game is working with Cfg loader also so thank you Dr. Clipper and WiiPower for your great loaders. And thank you WiiCrazy for your great contribution.

 

[Dr. Clipper]

OK, with the help of WiiPower, I have discovered why the wip patching wasn't working properly in Cfg (I was trusting that oggzee left the wip patch in working order, but it turns out it's been broken for months). The first wip patch (reposted a few posts above this one) is indeed the correct one.

The wip code will be fixed by the release version of Cfg v57, but it needs some testing first. The PoP patch will stay regardless, though.

Well, I finaly found an easy way to play this game (PAL Version) without any freeze (the wip method doesn't work with me).

Just download the latest version of Configurable USB Loader (v57b3) and put SPXP.dol (Google is your friend) file in the usb-loader folder (the one at the root of your SD), go in the option of the game to put "alternative dol" and launch the game.
Enjoy !

EDIT: link deleted & file deleted too, sorry for this, you can delete this post.

PS: Anyone have a good forwarder for this loader plz (path is "sd:\apps\USBLoader\boot.dol") ? =p

 

[WiiPower]

You can't upload game .dols! They contain copyrighted material and it's as bad as uploading the whole game.

Just download the latest version of Configurable USB Loader (v57b3) and put this -snipped- file in the usb-loader folder (the one at the root of your SD), go in the option of the game to put "alternative dol" and launch the game.

Enjoy !

PS: Anyone have a good forwarder for this loader plz (path is "sd:\apps\USBLoader\boot.dol") ? =p

you may want to remove that dol before you get banned. It is a Nintendo code.

 

[mayu29]

I don't understand why they bother with patching the dols since creating a wip is a lot easier.

 

[WiiPower]

I don't understand why they bother with patching the dols since creating a wip is a lot easier.

Configurable usb loader currently doesn't have .wip support. The 1st .wip patch should have worked from the beginning.

I will also add these .wip patches to NeoGamma soon, when they are well tested and i release the next NeoGamma beta.

 

[Kovani]

I uploaded the WIP file for NTSC and PAL users. Feel free to test them.

[papermanzero]

Which wip patch is working???
Some persons posted different patches.
Really, this is absolutely confusing at the moment.

Can anybody post a correct wip patch which is working on wiiflow, cfg loader, usb loader gx etc. for the NTSC and PAL Version?
And a short explanation would be also nice. (creating wip files, formatting etc)

Thank u!
