Hacking SNEEK v2

[DKAngel]

someone needs to make a guide on compiling this, been trying to read up and i still havnt figured it out

 

[daxtsu]

I've got it compiled, but what do I need to use boot2me.exe and elfins.exe with? The compiled files?

 

[Det1re]

You'll need cygwin most likely, as you have to build the MINI toolchain in order to compile MINI/sneek. On Linux/OSX nothing else is needed besides GCC. :3

Cygwin is not required. I started a setup guide in the Wiki, but I won't finish it here (at work). If nobody else edites it, I will have it finished at ~ 9 pm (GMT+1).

Well now. That looks pretty daunting. But hey, I've been meaning to learn how to compile things and now's as good a time as any to start.

EDIT: Nevermind cygwin, I'm going with DevKitPRO. lol

[/list]Files:

• SD:/
  • bootmii/
    • armboot.bin
    • ppcboot.elf
  • boot2.bin

• 
  
  That's not needed,

I imagine this part is similar to SNEEK v1, see below:

Source: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=187435
8. Using a command prompt I typed in "elfins.exe esmodule.elf 0000000e tmp.bin" followed by "elfins.exe fsmodule.elf tmp.bin 0000000e.app" and finally "boot2me.exe 0000000e.app boot2.bin"
9. Copied the newly made boot2.bin to the root of my SD card

0000000e.app comes from IOS60v6147 (downloaded and decrypted with NUSDv1.3 from wiibrew)

You'll also need to get the replacement ppcboot.elf that works with boot2.bin in SD root. I'm not sure where this comes from yet. Perhaps you can use the same one that came with SNEEK v1 if you happened to grab that when it was available.

EDIT: Or given the post above, maybe ppcboot.elf is not required. Perhaps it's a replacement armboot.bin that's needed. Anyone?

 

[Det1re]

That's not needed,

That's correct, the file structure on post#1 was based on what came with the beta phases. I changed it.

 

[daxtsu]

Is Wiisoff correct? Are the steps basically the same as SNEEK v1 from here?

 

[cwstjdenobs]

daxtsu, without the messing with a new IOS

 

[daxtsu]

Alright. Looks like I'll be on my way to testing it in about 10 mins then, once my nand dump is complete from SFSD.

Edit: Are you sure a ppcboot isn't necessary..? I get the lovely drive LED blinking when I don't have one. I'll double check to make sure I have sneek's armboot instead of Twiizers'.

Edit2: Figured it out. You just keep the bootmii ppcboot. This is so cool!

 

[DKAngel]

so is there any actually instructions yet?

 

[FenrirWolf]

daxtsu figured it out.

So, daxtsu if you wouldn't mind could you write up your method?

 

[daxtsu]

Det1re will write some instructions throughout the day I'd wager. I could tell you how to do the part after compiling, though..

 

[cwstjdenobs]

Well Daxtsu, you do that and I'll do this

Edit: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ojdunyglyue/sneekstuff.zip

the compiled stuff.

 

[SanGor]

Well Daxtsu, you do that and I'll do this

http://www.mediafire.com/file/5gnjhozzjhy/sneekstuff.zip

the compiled stuff and the 2 exe's,

redistributing without asking is not allowed.

 

[cwstjdenobs]

Erm SanGor, it's GPL'd code.

 

[FenrirWolf]

Certainly simplifies things, though... but yeah.

 

[SanGor]

yes SNEEK is GPL v2, so you must supply the source aswell.
the .exe files are not GPL v2

 

[FenrirWolf]

From various debates in the Configurable USB Loader thread, I recall that the GPL doesn't necessarily state that the source HAS to be distributed every time the executables are given, but rather upon the request of interested parties.

 

[cwstjdenobs]

yes SNEEK is GPL v2, so you must supply the source aswell.

Well no, I haven't changed any

QUOTEthe .exe files are not GPL v2

fairy fluff. No license given so I assumed as-is. but here you go

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ojdunyglyue/sneekstuff.zip

no exe's
