Old CCheat cdrom0 hack thread

[Lazy Bastard]

Here you go. I've also included a copy of elfmaker.exe, in case you wanted to play with that but didn't have a copy.

OK, I fixed the init problem. I'm completely exhausted right now (3 or 4 grueling things went wrong tonight), but tomorrow morning I'll append my notes, explain what I've done, and upload a new version. Thanks, cYs, for the tool, though I actually had to do a bit of "hacking" to get that to work properly, heh. I'll explain in the morning.

All right, here goes...

First, the problem I had with Elf Modifier was concerning the address offset. It was actually not a problem with Elf Modifier at all, but instead a problem resolved by it. I was, for some reason, of the mind that Cosmic Cheat's first address (not entry point, but starting address) was 0x00400000. Hence, if I wanted to modify 0x004001b8, in Elf Modder I'd use 0x000001b8. However, after I'd done this with the nine addresses I wanted to test modifying, something went wrong, and the ELF didn't perform as expected. So I loaded it in PS2Dis, and looked for the labels I'd modified. The first address of the first label was 0x000c01b8, instead of the expected 0x004001b8. So I took a look, and realized my mistake (CCheat's starting point is actually 0x000c0000). Noting that, I'll go make sure PS2Dis and Elfmaker can still perform the desired functions later, just to quell my curiosity.

I'll make a new thread for this after I've tested it properly, to simplify. I've updated the attachment at the beginning of this thread.

I've renamed this thread, and opened a new thread, to simplify things (believe it or not, heh).
