Hacking StartPatch v4.2?

[TiMeBoMb4u2]

Okay... I don't know if this will help anyone, or not, but below is a zipped package of StartPatch v4.0.61's SOURCE and the NEW Preloader v4.2 Offsets.

Is anyone able to build a StartPatch v4.2 with this information??

SOURCE + PRELOADER OFFSETS

It's for NTSC-USA ??

And i doesn't want to use Preloader on my Wii... i prefer the StartPatch itself.

This shouldn't be too hard just taking a quick glance at it. If you look at the main.c, there is a reference here:

const char *filename = "/title/00000001/00000002/content/00000073.app";

Isn't the sysmenu for 4.2U 00000088.app? If the main.c is adjusted to apply patches there, and then the patches.h is adjusted to apply the new 4.2U offsets for patching, then compiled....it should work, right?

The SOURCE is NTSC-U, but the Offsets are divided regionally. I understand you don't want to use Preloader, but the offset "hacks" should be the same as Preloader's.

Hey... I'm trying to make the necessary adjustments to the Offsets and Values for v4.2, but I need a list of the Offsets and Values of System Menu v4.0, to compare against the StartPatch v4.0.61 code.

Anyone have a list of Offset and Values for System Menu v4.0?

 

[zektor]

Wouldn't that be here?

Okay... A little HEX help is needed, for my dumb brain...

Preloader's System Menu v4.0 Offset

[Remove diag disc check]
version=417
offset=0x813793A4
value=0x60000000

StartPatch's System Menu v4.0 Offset

{
ÂÂÂÂ{"Remove diag disc check"},
ÂÂÂÂ0x498C4,
ÂÂÂÂ{
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ0x41, 0x82, 0x00, 0x08
ÂÂÂÂ},
ÂÂÂÂ{
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ0x60, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 //nop
ÂÂÂÂ},
ÂÂÂÂ4
},

Okay... I see where StartPatch is getting "0x498C4"...

offset=0x813793A4
(0x813793A4 - 0x8132FAE0 = 0x498C4)

...And it looks like the Values are there too, "0x60, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00"...
value=0x60000000

...But what the heck is "0x41, 0x82, 0x00, 0x08" = "0x41820008"??

 

[TiMeBoMb4u2]

Okay... It looks like StartPatch hardcodes both the OLD(Original) and NEW(Patched) Values.

{
ÂÂÂÂchar desc[DESC_LEN]; //Description.
ÂÂÂÂu32 offset;
ÂÂÂÂu8 old_tab[TAB_LEN];
ÂÂÂÂu8 new_tab[TAB_LEN];
ÂÂÂÂu32 size;
} patch_t;

So, it appears that "0x41820008" is the OLD(Original) Value, and "0x60000000" is the NEW Value...I think!?!
If anyone can validate this, I will need the OLD(Original) Values for System Menu v4.2, to attempt a TEST build!

 

[Thomas83Lin]

Guess you need someone with a USb Gecko to hook the system menu and find the values

edit:

Well if you can't find them just let me know and i'll get them for ya

 

[TiMeBoMb4u2]

Whatever works. I won't be able to attempt a build, until I have these values.

 

[Thomas83Lin]

OK just give me awhile i need to re-install my system menu, to remove all the hacks i already have,
i can give you the USA values,

I'm going to use the preloader offsets to find them right?

edit:

Ok i'm getting them just give me about 20min to get them all,


edit Again

Heres the Original Values of all the preloader codes USA 4.2 you might be able to use these values for PAL and JP if not i can get them also.
Also i double checked if these are right by noping the disc channel, and after noping i can move the disc channel again so these are right just check for typos in the address

Quick question... Are all these in the following format?

OFFSET-LOCATION ORIGINAL-SM4.2-OFFSET-VALUE

 

[zektor]

Hope that helps you out TiMeBoMb4u2. I'll surely test as soon as a build for NTSC-U is available

Yes. That is the location I used when originally hex editing the SM to remove the checks back before the new hackmii was available. And I am pretty positive those are the original offset values.

Okay... Since it's not my code, it might take me a while to input all this. I'll post something, when I've got it.

 

[Thomas83Lin]

I noticed acouple of typos in 2 codes i'll fix them then edit my post

EDIT: OK fixed, if you notice any let me know, but i triple checked everything

Which two did you edit? I was going off the first post.

Thanks... Sorry, it's taking so long. It was time for me to leave work, and I just got home. I'll be working on it in a bit.
