Generating patches for XBReboot

[littlestevie360]

does anyone know how the patch engine works for XBReboot, i have had a look at the section that is marked as patch.bin for an XBR image and it is vastly different to the XBR patchset and method that it is implemented, from what i have seen so far is they arent compatible with eachother and work entirely different (and most certainly cant have freeboot patches just dropped into them). has anyone else looked into how it works as not to duplicate efforts in any shape or form?

The only advice that I can give is if you hook up the serial out pin (on the XDK debug header) to a RS232 (my probe for liteon drives works great) and open up a program like realterm, you can see some debug info that the console does not put on on the screen, only via serial. I don't know how helpful it is though.

freeboot uses 32bit addresses, whereas XBR uses 64bit.
XBR has the amount of patches inside the main header, freeboot closes the patch file with 0xFFFFFFFF
XBR will skip a patch if its address is 0.

For some reason I think you'll fail on developing a patch if you're going to ask more questions?

Oh SNAP this just in, you can use freeboot patches on new XBR
Thing is, why would you want to? It only uses the same structure
This means, you can either have xex'es running from wherever you want (without patching), open whatever container, etc. AND NO MORE FREEZES (made by XBR)
Or you could use freeboot patches.
Your choice! No more need for dual nand (xD/SM, piggyback, cygnos) this time

very interesting news, waiting for my flash to finish now. i hope it hurries up so i can go back to snes360

edit: seems to have solved the freezing problem, excellent work.

Honestly, image macros are annoying. Please stop.

I hope no-one attempts the Caturday stuff...
