Hacking Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

[arevir711]

I've successfully patched my PAL version of PoP using the WiiScrubber method and a hex editor. Game now plays perfectly with WiiFlow. Although it will NOT play with USB Loader GX. I am using 249 v19 x57 and hermes v5. No issues so far, about 1hr into the game, no crashes. Thanks for everyones diligence into this issue!

This is the only wip patch that works. You only need it for NeoGamma because last version of Cfg loader works without it. If you read the post 160 you have a tutorial there. Good luck!

This is not true. The correct format is

007AAC60: 7A6B6F6A 6F6A7A6B
007AAC70: 7C7A6939 69397C7A
007AAC80: 7376686B 686B7376
007AAC90: 8071757082806F 757080716F3F82
007AACA0: 3F 80

Like I said, here's the link for the NTSC and PAL version.

I play the game with that wip in NeoGamma folder right now.

Is there confusion because there are 3 PAL versions (RPWZ, RPWX, SPXP) and 1 NTSC version (RPWE)? Is the patch the same for all?

Use this information if you want the game to work on Dolphin. (should work as an .wip also)
(Dolphin doesnt work correct with /dev/ devices so the above changes them to /ddv/ devices)
Edit: Ohh... and disable the "Use panic Handlers" option, otherwise theres gonna be a bunch of messages.

@ocdetective

Probably, but you have to rename the WIP file according to your game ID.

This is working!
I copied this code in a new text file renamed the textfile to "SPXP41.wip" and put it in the NeoGamma Folder on the root of the Sd Card.

But it works just in NeoGamma. I tried it also in Wiiflow r42 without success. But it could be also a bug in Wiiflow.

RPWZ = Not sure, i havent see any other Z titled games
RPWX = Not a real region code, probably region freed
SPXP = Europe, Australia and other PAL regions

 

[Helsionium]

pepxl, I assume you got this info from WiiBrew, because I added that way back then... However, X and Z have since appeared as legitimate region codes (not often, though) for games which have two (or three) languages, but not all five or six European (Wii) languages. IIRC, X is usually German & French, Y Italian & Spanish, Z any other languages. This is very strange though, because the SPXP PAL version already has all 5 major languages (The majority of multi-language PAL games do not support the sixth language, Dutch).

They are, however, all PAL and because the main.dol seems to be the same for all regions anyway, this shouldn't matter.

 

[ocdetective]

Hmmm perhaps it shouldn't matter but I have a hunch that the new Cfg patch only works with SPXP and not RPWZ (least it doesnt for me!)

 

[Dr. Clipper]

Hmmm perhaps it shouldn't matter but I have a hunch that the new Cfg patch only works with SPXP and not RPWZ (least it doesnt for me!)
From my code:
QUOTEif (memcmp("SPX", (char *)0x80000000, 3) == 0 || memcmp("RPW", (char *)0x80000000, 3) == 0) {

As a precautionary note, check my most recent post in the Cfg thread that lists some of the things you should avoid.

so no GX fix yet???

the title of this thread is very misleading

How is the Return to Channel set to off?

 

[mattesno1]

simply remove the return_to_channel line from your config.txt

lol yeah a while back, didnt know they had been updated to include X and Z

 

[vinzanity]

Confirming that it works on Wiiflow R25 and Cios38 Rev 17 with main.dol manually HxD. Amazing Job by the Scene! Finally reverted back to Hermes 223 V4 instead of using an old USb Loader GX and Cios Rev 9.

 

[panmusic]

Well,while the patched main.dol works perfectly with Wiiflow r42,the game does not boot with the newest rev of Cfg Loader.I tried even the alt.dol method with the same results.
I have the feeling that IF I use an unpatched iso,I will fix Cfg Loader problem but I will broke Wiiflow's compatibility...Difficult times...

That's only because others derailed the thread early on.

The first post is exactly what the topic of the thread is.

As far as GX goes, I'm pretty sure I'll be switching loaders rather than using my original method in the fist post 'cuz it seems like the GX team could care less about updates at this point. It's already been over a month since cIOSX rev19 support has been broken with no mention of fixing it, let alone making changes for specific games. While the WiiFlow and CFG teams are right on top of it. Now I just have to figure out which of those two I'll be using.

EDIT: Do both WiiFlow and CFG have cover art and disc image download features? And if so, do both have full (front/back) cover support?

 

[kimikal27]

yes, it was totally hijacked
sorry about that
