The DOL mod topic

[shuall]

Is that assembly code that you've injected, or wiird codes?

EDIT: the C2 lines are what make me think it's wiird codes.

 

[ShockSlayer]

Still no luck.

Pretty sure the branches are good as well:

I'm starting to think maybe it's the injection point. Rereading through the tutorial it's never explained where "801a415c" comes from, when I tried putting the tutorial's code into the converter that specific hex showed up in the "Address/Offset" box. How is that info supposed to be found the normal way?

SS

EDIT: @ shuall It's the Widescreen code from this thread. It's referred to as Gecko, don't really know all the differences tbh.

[ShockSlayer]

Ah. That's probably it. I'll get on trying to get these to work. Am I correct in assuming that the second C2 line (C236A4A8 00000007) isn't needed either?

 

[Sham Rock]

That is correct.

 

[ShockSlayer]

That was it, it works now! Thanks a ton man.

I'll post a video and a full writeup here soon.

At some point it would be beneficial to make a list of available spaces within the Start.dol and try not to overlap between existing codes, so people can take advantage of widescreen as well as skipping the results screen, etc.

Thanks again for your help guys!

Glad you got it working. Nice vid!

I agree with you on mapping out the DOL free space. I actually have a few hundreds of lines of new codes that will be DOL injections so we should probably do this mapping after I release these (I'm aiming for sometime within the week!).

 

[Goatlink]

maybe more of a general programing question I guess, but anyone know why there would be free space in the .dol in the first place?

This already overlaps with the "skip result screen" code.

Yeah, using the same offsets as the tutorial was just a part of my learning curve. I just wanted to make sure the space I was using wasn't occupied so I could eliminate that from the troubleshooting phase. Now that I've got a better handle on this it should be a cinch to rewrite this for a more optimal, unoccupied space. Thus the mapping project; if I'm not mistaken it should be as simple as setting a bunch of breakpoints and testing out every feature of the game.

And apparently there will be a line halfway around the block when SSBMO comes out. Sounds like fun, glad I picked up that raphnet adapter. :3

to map the free space in the .dol couldn't you just open it in a hex editor and search for large amounts of 00?

 

[shuall]

Just brainstorming here, but you could add on to the end of the main.dol file, as long as you define it as another .text section in the dol's header, and have it load into memory address that's after the binary. Also, if it gets too big, we risk running out of RAM. I'm going to try to get this working.

I also think that if it's bigger than the original .dol by too much you can't replace it with GC-Tool, you'd have to use GC-rebuilder.

Yeah, I'm having a problem with testing it, because dolphin only runs gcm (isos), and I can't find any gc-rebuilder for linux. I'm going to have to find the coder for gc-rebuilder, and ask for source. Does anyone know who wrote gc-rebuilder? BSV. Or where I can find documentation on .gcms?

For all you lovers of custom music, here´s something I came up with last week.

Random background music (multiplayer)[Sham Rock]

every time a multiplayer battle is loaded (and only multiplayer), the game chooses a background music at random.
This however only applies to stage music, meaning the game will choose one of the following tracks:
Fire Emblem, Balloon Fight, Big Blue, Princess Peach´s Castle, Corneria, Dr.Mario, Flat Zone, EarthBound, Kongo Jungle, Great Bay, Green Greens, Multi-Man Melee 1,
Multi-Man Melee 2, Icicle Mountain, Mushroom Kingdom, Mushroom Kingdom(Finale), Mushroom KingdomII, Mushroom Kingdom(Finale), Fountain of Dreams, Jungle Japes,
Brinstar Depths, Mach Rider, Mute City, Kongo Jungle N64, Dream Land N64, Yoshi´s Island N64, Mother, Mother 2, Battle Theme, Pokemon Stadium, Poke Floats, Rainbow Cruise,
Saria´s Theme, Temple, Super Mario Bros.3, Final Destination, Metal Battle, Battlefield, Venom, Yoshi´s Island, Yoshi´s Story, Brinstar.

Now you can enjoy a 42 track custom soundtrack even if you play FD only.

Could someone with the knowledge please make a mp3 converter with the option of setting loop points? That would be swell....

Was looking for a way to add more music into the legal stages, but I have a question, can you make it so 5 songs only will play on each stage, and only that stage? I just don't want a random playlist for my stages, I like to choose the music that I want on the stage and just have around 5 or so different tracks.

The "80" at the beginning of your address is implied already in the code.

So say your address you want to write to is 0x80123456, your code would be:

04123456 yyyyyyyy

If your address was in the range of 0x81000000 and higher, so for example 0x81123456, then your code would be:

05123456 yyyyyyyy
(so you would add 1 to 04 if your address to write to starts with 0x81)

 

[Achilles1515]

Do i need to name it Start.dol and put it my root system thing to make into an iso?

If all you need to do is replace the DOl file, then you don't need to worry about the name. I have instructions on the main page of the 20XX thread for replacing only the DOL file. There's probably instructions on the main post of this thread as well.

yeah i did that already i just know on the 20xx hack you have to move the dol.

 

[Achilles1515]

yeah i did that already i just know on the 20xx hack you have to move the dol.

That's if you're rebuilding the ISO. You only need to rebuild an ISO if you are trying to replace a smaller file with a larger one. This is not the case with DOL files so you don't need to rebuild the entire ISO.

So just take the normal iso and switch the DOL and put on usb then profit?

Amazing bug in Dolphin if this is too complex:

the values at offsets 0x80000000-0x81FFFFFF are exactly the same at offsets 0x0-0x1FFFFFF

I don't think that's a bug. I think that has something to do with virtual mem memory access on a gamecube. edit: virtual memory is something different
Memory addresses in code start at 0x80000000.
0x00000000 is the physical (hardware) start of memory, and 0x80000000 is the logical (codewise) start of memory.
Specifically it's the logical start of RAM when cached, and 0xC0000000 is the logical start not cached.

Just to specify, it's all the same memory, it's just different things have different types of addresses, so dolphin just makes it easy by mirroring it at the 3 different memory ranges.

Most of the stuff I know I learned from yagcd http://hitmen.c02.at/files/yagcd/yagcd/chap4.html#sec4.1

[shuall]

There should be somewhere in your hex editor that tells you which spot you are in the file (usually a column on the left hand side). So you go to spot 15D0 in the editor and paste that huge block of code into the dol file starting at that point. The 'onward' implies that this doesn't just change one byte like some dol mods (15D0 -> 00050006), it fills a block with code.

So, I was under the impression that this would unlock All-Star Mode, VS stuff and most importantly Sound Test (needed for alternate songs on stages). This doesn't seem to be the case though. The 20XX DOL comes with these things unlocked, so there must be something I can do. I've looked through the DOL, but I haven't found anything helpful yet.

Any help would be appreciated. (This is about PAL btw)

@Kou
Can you get your friend Ato to look into this? His "unlock random stage toggle on boot" also unlocks sound test and all star mode, etc.

I tried to port it to PAL but things are different with the values. You can tell Ato that I think it should be line 0x15c1cc in the PAL DOL that corresponds to the similar line he changed in 1.00, but changing the line at 0x15c1cc to 0x3800000e does not unlock all the stuff like I thought it would.

I've been playing around a bit, but no luck so far. I modified the ID of my original save file as a temporary fix, but it would be nice to make the use of a memory card redundant.

EDIT: I'm stupid, I could just use a Gecko code for now...
