Homebrew Homebrew app sys-patch - sysmod that patches on boot

[bth]

the tl:dr i'm getting from having someone test privately and message me on telegram, is that the FS, NIM, LOADER, and NIFM patches are correct.

the titlekey validation needs to be diffed again, which is ES. I will look at it again to see what new in the chain they added.

edit: previously in 20.5.0 the function we patch is no longer called the same way.

function 0x77530 (20.5.0), was called by 0x77228, which is called by 0x7a84c

function 0x491b0 (21.0.0) is not called by anything, except a branch instruction at 0x77c04, which i assume is a SVC

0x48acc (20.5.0) calls for check: 0x768e8
0x4908 (21.0.0) calls for check: 0x73480

Is that what's preventing nsps from working?

 

[bth]

anyway, heres the cause, new set of patches required for ES. (problem also is as previoulsy mentioned, it's called for in an entirely different way in 21.0.0)

 

[gdaygday]

Nice to see someone knows what the cause is. Hopefully the cure isn’t too far off after that.

it's more about knowing how to read what the tools you have provide. ES for 21.0.0 in the function we patch is different now

 

[drizztbsd]

so I was right that ES patch was not complete

 

[bth]

20.5.0 (correct address for patch: 0x76a18 - inside of function 0x768e8)
21.0.0 (current address found: 0x49268 - current function 0x491b0 - identical function in 20.5.0 is function 0x48bf0)

correct function in 21.0.0 should be 0x73480
correct offset for 21.0.0 should be 0x735b0

should be fixed now at: https://github.com/impeeza/sys-patch/commit/f92f7754cee7e643b504c97f93eaca24ea3618de

I'm testing...

Syntax error... double }

Ok, fixed, built and installed... I'm installing an NSP game...

YEAH! IT WORKED!

Which installer are you using?

Awoo

When I link the NNID through Linkalho, the startup error no longer appears, but all apps then go into some kind of boot loop and the loading circle keeps spinning over and over again. I can’t do anything at all. When I enable airplane mode, everything is OK again.

Or when I unlink the NNID again.

 

[Miowo]

Awoo

Oh fair. Do you need to reinstall nsps, or do your old games work fine?

i believe it's been stated enough times now, that booting just once with no ES patch, or in the case of testing, not correct patch, requires reinstall of ALL OLD TITLES, at least the ones that aren't cartridge sourced.

Okay yeesh, no need to be aggressive. I feel like it's a reasonable question for someone who hasn't read through the thread as much as you have

Some people here have a horrible attitude when you're just asking for help. Kind of sucks but what ya gonna do.

@drizztbsd
I installed the newest sys-patch-1.5.8-esfix, thanks for that.
Now NSP and XCI work without any problems, but they need to be freshly installed.

In BOULDER DASH 40th Anniversary, for example, an NNID is required, but it can be skipped — it just shows a notification. Unfortunately, Linkalho doesn’t work properly; it ends in an endless loop and the info window keeps popping up until I switch to airplane mode. Only then does the loop stop.

Whoo great work, I didn't need to reinstall any of my games (nsp)

 

[aliak11]

I can now launch all of my games but only if I have on airplane mode or I forget my WiFi info, otherwise I just get "Please Wait..." flashing endlessly.

I had that problem too, even with sys-patch-1.5.8-esfix, and what I did was reinstall my NSPs with Awoo. Now none of them show “checking online” or "Please wait" when starting, and they work as they should.
