ROM Patcher script

[TheCount]

Greetings everyone. I've been ROM hacking for quite a while now, and some months ago (which have turned to many months by now) I developed a small python program that takes GG codes from a .pat file and hacks them into a .bin ROM.
I tried to get it hosted by Tony Hedstrom but he doesn't seem very active lately so I thought of you. I mailed Lazy Bastard and he told me to post it here. So here I am.
Apparently, the zipfile is too big (1.41 MB), and the board says I exceed the maximum quota by 1.28 MB. Strangely enough, the max filesize for all files is 4MB Any ideas?

Hmm...looking through the vB settings, I can't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to attach a .zip file up to 4MB...I'll attach a 3MB .zip...

[Lazy Bastard]

Could you try again?

[TheCount]

*attaches*

Still can't. These are the screens I get... wait... When I try to upload the screenshot it says "Upload of file failed".

[TheCount]

Here's the screens I get:



I put it into photobucket. Colors are a bit strange cause I saved it as gif in paint.

[Lazy Bastard]

I tested upload ability using a test user in the Registered Users group (the group you're in), and got the same results you did. I'll check it out.

[Lazy Bastard]

All right; there was an incorrect maximum set for total attachments per user for the Registered Users group. It should work fine now.

Upload Errors
Patcher.zip:
Upload of file failed.

I'll try IE for a change.

[TheCount]

Bleh, upload failed on both Firefox and IE. Mind if I mail the thing over?

[Lazy Bastard]

Sure. Just send it to [email protected].

I've no clue why you still aren't able to upload it, though...

[TheCount]

Ok, I sent it. Hope it gets there.

[TheCount]

This is getting very stupid very fast. Yahoo returned a failure notice and gmail doesn't allow me to send zipfiles with exes in them. AND uploading still doesn't work for me. I think it's gonna be some time before I can actually send you this. I'll try hotmail next.

[Lazy Bastard]

OK. With GMAIL, you can use 7Zip to make .7z file, and send the exe in that.

[TheCount]

I'll try that sometime tomorrow. So, you're saying that GMail is gonna allow me to put an exe inside a .7z, right?

[Lazy Bastard]

Yes. It doesn't no how to read a 7z file, or at least didn't last time I checked. You could also encrypt the file and rename the extension, then give me the key to decrypt it.
