This is the source code to the r0005 patch for the NTSC version of SOCOM 2. I've developed this over a couple years based on hundreds of codes and various exploits by other devs/hackers. It started as a way to have clan tags, ranks on LAN, and cheat protection in custom patch games. It evolved over time and I was able to include all maps as respawn, day/night map versions, identify the host of the game, and several other functions. I have no interest in continuing the development of this patch. Most of the code is heavily commented and a README.txt is included in the root directory that explains how it works and how to compile it. All of the patch code is under the MIPs_source/059/ folder.
