CL-LiveDebug v3

[Azagthoth]

Thinking about this yesterday, all it does is search for values. What about when games memory changes for every level? It would be easier to just get a dump and find the pointer with PS2dis, then to use this. Hopefully someone can fix the USB mass dumper. I would use that more than this tool.

Went through 5 more games today.

The Legend Of Spyro: Dawn Of The Dragon = Seemed to be working until out of nowhere, LD stopped taking controller input.

Sly Cooper And The Thievius Raccoonus = Same as Sly 2. Slightly more lag. You can die to fix the graphics.

Sly 2: Band Of Thieves = Seemed to work just fine, just the giant top left corner of LD and modified graphics. Sly was an empty frame.

Spyro: Year Of The Dragonfly = Same as Spyro DotD.

Twisted Metal Head-On = Can't access LD during gameplay, the safe guard loops and then instantly returns to the game. The game loses far too much detail to understand what is actually going on.

Minor revision update:
- Fixed LDv3 Engine function "_ClearPad" (was in test mode had to change to official mode; this was causing freezing at random points inside debugger)
- Fixed "WritePatches()" function in "main.c" (was writing data even when no patches were loaded, causing random freezing in-game; added memory clear functionality to it)

Download Link: http://cheaters-lounge.net/files/CL-LD3.0.4b.rar

Was sifting through the LDv3Engine.cds file, and noticed I still had the clearPad function operating in SOCOM: Combined Assault pre-set testing mode. I noticed this could be a potential reason as to why games would freeze randomly inside debugger on button press or page transaction.

When looking back through "main.c" I noticed that in my WritePatches() function I was not ensuring the memory block was cleared, so I added the feature to clean off all RAM in kernel being used by the patches. I also noticed I was making it perform a text conversion regardless if it loaded patches from a file or not, so I added a Boolean check to skip the function after the memory block was cleared if nothing was loaded.

SVN Repository has been updated with the newer source versions.

Hopefully these minor revisions will help, current version is now 3.0.4b.

Got a PAL V9 today as an early crimbo present so i'm able to enter world of homebrew again


Tekken 5 - PAL = Stays at black screen after PS2 logo.
Gran Turismo 4 & Tourist Trophey - PAL = Stays at SCEE / Website info screen with a flickering image.
Cars - PAL = Perfect.

A few suggestions

Hex/Dec selector for values.
Reduce number of displayed digits for 8/16/32 bit.
If left is pressed on the last digit skip to the first digit, if right is pressed on the first digit skip to the last digit.

Got a PAL V9 today

It was designed for NTSC... I'm not entirely too sure what the difference is between NTSC and PAL (I only own NTSC products) but I'm pretty sure it isn't supposed to be functional on PAL o.o

[kh2k4]

I'll take it as a bonus if it works with my PAL games then it worked with Cars as I said, hopefully someone with NTSC versions can throw up the same problems. I'll continue to post my results.
ToCA Race Driver - PAL = Crashes in-game at debugger Main Menu.

I'm wondering if you still need more testing, or if you would want people to wait for a new version or something? Red light, green light?

[Lazy Bastard]

Progress?

[bungholio]

I've been wondering that myself too. If it gets to a point where it can do multiple scans instead of just one, this would be awesome.

[Gtlcpimp]

Sorry, been workin' (new job), haven't had time to play with the PS2.

[Lazy Bastard]

Ah. Well, at least you're still around

[bungholio]

I still get the "This page rejects you for who you are" screen everywhere I go on your site. Is there a link to your current source files outside of your website?

[kh2k4]

I think there's two site similarly named, I remember visting a blacklisted and firefox reporting the site my fw+av was throwing a hiss fit at it. ngemu.com got blacklisted as well for about a week.

I do get that same message if visting http://cheaters-lounge.net/files/ probably just blocking outside users from accessing there account.
