GBA BIOS Dumping Tool

GBA BIOS Dumping Tool es una aplicación que vuleva la BIOS de la GameBoy Advance saltando directamente a la rutina CpuFastSet en la BIOS, saltándose la comprobación de región, y luego copiando la BIOS en la SRAM de la flashcart.
Para propósitos de demostración también se incluye un enfoque de caja negra que funciona sin conocimiento de dónde está la rutina CpuFastSet en la memoria. Sin embargo, debido a problemas de tiempo no siempre se vuelca correctamente la primera vez que lo intenta y ejecuta la suma de comprobación para intentar volcar la memoria.
La salida esperada es un archivo de 16kiB, con diferentes checksums basados en el dispositivo.
A continuación se muestran los modelos de CPU y las sumas de comprobación de la salida esperada, utilizando tanto el BIOS y SHA-256.

GBA ExpLoader

With this program, you can run GBA games which are in SLOT1 flash card through SLOT2 expansion pack.
If your SLOT1 flash card supports soft reset, you can use your exp pack as "Rumble Pak" or "Memory Expansion Pak".
Supported SLOT2 expansion packs are "3in1 Expansion Pack", "EZ4 lite-delux" and "EWIN EXPANSION PAK(2in1)".
"NOR mode" and "Rumble Pak" function are enabled only in "3in1 Expansion Pack".

<Specification of 3in Expansion Pack>
1. 256Mbit(32MByte) NORfalsh   page size is 1Mbits(128KB)
2. 128Mbit(16MByte) PSRAM   page size is 1Mbits(128KB)
3. 4Mbit(512KByte) SRAM   page size is 64Kbits(8KB)
<Specification of EZ FlashIV lite-delux>
1. 384Mbit(48MByte) NORfalsh   page size is 1Mbits(128KB)
2. 256Mbit(32MByte) PSRAM   page size is 1Mbits(128KB)
3. 8Mbit(1MByte) SRAM   page size is 64Kbits(8KB)
<Specification of EWIN EXPANSION PAK>
1. 256Mbit(32MByte) SDRAM   page size is 16Mbits(2MB)
2. 2Mbit(256KByte) SRAM   page size is 256Kbits(64KB)
OR
2. 1Mbit(128KByte) SRAM   page size is 256Kbits(64KB)

<Introduction>
Please patch the DLDI on GBA_ExpLoader.NDS.
(If your flash card supports auto DLDI patch, you need not to do this.)
*Create "/GBA_SAVE" and "/GBA_SIGN" folder on the root of your SD card.
(Modify "GBA_ExpLoader.ini", and you can set other folders.)
*Copy GBA files into your SD card.
*Put SAV files into "/GBA_SAVE".
(If there are no SAV files, they will be created automatically.)
*Put "gbaframe.bmp (24bit or 8bit)" into the root, "/GBA_SIGN" or "/_system_" if you want to use GBA frame.

<GBA ExpLoader.ini>
Modify this file to change settings. To add a comment line, include '#' or '!' character at the beginning of a line.
Make sure you put this file into the root of SD card.
*SaveDir
Change the directory where SAV files are stored. (Default is /GBA_SAVE.)
*SignDir
Change the directory where SGN files and header.dat are stored. (Default is /GBA_SIGN.)
*No_MultiSave
Disable multi save function. Comment out this to enable.

===<< IMPORTANT >>===========================================================================
The SRAM save method of this program is different from that of 3in1_ExpPack_Tool.
You cannot use both tools together.
Backup your SRAM first before use this.
=========================================================================================

<Usage>
*Run "GBA_ExpLoader.NDS".
*In "3in1 Expansion Pack", <L> or <R> to change mode ("PSRAM mode", "NOR mode" or "Expansion mode (if supported)")
If you run a GBA in PSRAM/SDRAM mode, SAV file will be saved next time.
You can select where to save or not to save.

(PSRAM/SDRAM mode)
*<A>: Write a GBA file into PSRAM with SRAM patch.
   Load SRAM data from SAV file.
   Then run GBA from PSRAM.
*<B>: Backup SRAM data to SAV file.
*<Y>: Restore "SRAM.BIN" to SRAM.
*<X>: Backup all SRAM data to "SRAM.BIN".
*<R>: Patch PSRAM for DS Browser and soft reset. (Disabled when your pack is "3in1 Expansion Pack")
With "3in1 Expansion Pack", you can run a GBA up to 16MByte (16000KB) in PSRAM mode.
And <SELECT> to return to your flashcard's menu if soft reset is supported.
You can run GBA from RAM until turning off DS or pulling out your expansion pack.
When you want to exchange SAV file, <B> to backup SAV data (or run another GBA) first and then exchange the file.
SAV file will be written into SRAM every time you run the GBA, even if you run the same file again and again.
If your expansion pack has only 128KB SRAM, you cannot run GBA with FLASH 1Mb save.

(NOR mode) Enabled only with "3in1 Expansion Pack"
*<A>: Backup SRAM data to SAV file.
   Write GBA file to NOR with SRAM patch.
   Then load SRAM data from SAV file.
*<B>: Backup SRAM data to SAV file.
*<Y>: Load SRAM data from SAV file.
*<X>: Run GBA (Slot2) stored in NOR.
You can also run NOR in DS menu like a normal GBA cartridge.

(Expansion mode) Enabled only with "3in1 Expansion Pack"
Change Rumble level (low/medium/high) or patch PSRAM for DS Browser and then soft reset.

<Composition of SRAM of 3in1 Expansion Pack and EZ4>
SRAM capacity is 512KB (4Mbit) and you can use it by 8KB(64Kbits) paging.
Save area for NOR is stored from offset 64KB like this:
64KB       UNUSED
128KB       SAVE area for NOR
8KB       SAVE management area
128KB       SAVE are for PSRAM
Rest of space   UNUSED

<Composition of SRAM of EWIN EXPANSION PAK>
SRAM capacity is 256KB (1Mbit) and you can use it by 64KB(256Kbits) paging like these:
128KB       SAVE for SDRAM
64KB       SAVE management area
64KB       UNUSED
or if your pack has 128KB SRAM, composition is like these:
64KB       SAVE for SDRAM
64KB       SAVE management area

<About soft reset>
SLOT1 flash cards which support soft reset are:
1. Fully supported
   R4/M3Simply
   DSLink
2. System file required
   SCDS(ONE)
   N-Card       Please copy udisk.nds to the root of SD card.
   Acekard R.P.G   Please copy akmenu4.nds to the root of SD card.
   X9SD
   DSTT(TTDS)
3. Firmware file required
   If your flash card doesn't be listed above, backup your flash card and name it SoftReset.****, and copy it to the root of SD card.
*SC DS ONE:   SCF_DSGB00.nds ->   SoftReset.SCDS
*G6 DS Real:   PASSCARD3_AMFE00.nds ->   SoftReset.g6ds
You cannot use this method on R4, Evo, AK and AK+.
*EZ5 supports soft reset, but Rumble or Memory Expansion function will be disabled in EZ5 Kernel menu.
This means you cannot use these functions on EZ5.

<Repairing of header>
GBA ExpLoader will repair corrupted header of GBA.
<Notice>
*If save type is not SRAM, GBA ExpLoader Will patch SRAM automatically.
Supported save types:
   EEPROM_V111, EEPROM_V120, EEPROM_V121, EEPROM_V122, EEPROM_V124, EEPROM_V125, EEPROM_V126
   FLASH_V120, FLASH_V121, FLASH_V123, FLASH_V124, FLASH_V125, FLASH_V126
   FLASH512_V130, FLASH512_V131, FLASH512_V133
   FLASH1M_V102, FLASH1M_V103
   Special save type of Famicom Mini(Classic NES)EEPROM_V122, EEPROM_V124 and undefined type
The size of SAV file will be adjusted to the real SAVE size. But GBA ExpLoader cannot detect EEPROM 512B or 8KB, so all EEPROM size will be set to 8KB. If GBA ExpLoader cannot detect save type, it will be set to SRAM 64K. It's OK even if SAVE data has dummy area at the tail of the file. E.g. real file size is 64K but file size is 128K. SAV file will be saved to "/GBA_SAVE". File name will be the same of the ROM file name. When you run a ROM first time, analyzed data(SGN file) will be saved to "/GBA_SIGN". If the file extension is BIN, GBA ExpLoader won't patch. And SAV file size will be set to 64KB. In file select window, top "SAV" will be saved as ".SAV" and "<1>" to "<5>" will be saved ".SV1" to ".SV5" You'd better create "/GBA_SAVE" and "/GBA_SIGN" yourself. Some Slot1 flash cards cannot create these folders correctly. N-Card series will take a long time to do this. by Rudolph (皇帝)

GBAATM-Rebirth (GBA Auto Trainer Maker)

Basically is a generator or patcher of GBA roms that add a trainer at rom start to enable the cheats. Also add slow motion support and some button combination to reboot the rom and renable cheats.
This is possible because the tool scan the rom to find hooks or memory address unused where inject the new assembly code and generating a new rom file.
Also, the tool support 2+1 cheatcodes type: raw, codebreaker and gameshark (this one is not enabled in some builds).
From a developer point of view the tool is an Ui where the users set various things like the cheats or the background image, cheatcodes converter and generate a new rom.

Status:
The tool is not yet finished but right now can add the trainer and the rom generated is 1:1 with the same data of the original Windows version.
I chose to start a new thread because I consider the project as working and official and not just experimenting.
Right now before to consider it complete I need to improve the code quality, some bugfixes from the migration of this old codebase and evaluate new features.
There is also the feature of the slow motion that is not working yet. I was thinking if drop that feature now because all the emulators now support it and probably on a real GBA this is not required anymore.
Anyway when everything will be done I will build a version also for Windows (I have to see for Mac OSX) but I will keep posting updates.
Thanks:
To Cracker for sharing the original source code. Also thanks to this project I can study how works C++, knows more assembly and how compiled languages are very a mess (if you have no patience). by Mte90.

GBT Player

Music player library and converter kit for Game Boy that can be used with RGBDS.
Introduction
GBT Player is a music creation environment for GB and GBC. It is composed by mod2gbt, which converts a mod file into a gbt (GameBoy Tracker) file, and GBT Player, which will be used to play that song in the GB. It's the same idea as the old Lemon player, but greatly improved. Because of this workflow, there are a lot of limitations that the GB doesn't impose, but that are needed so that the mod file and the result on the GB are similar.
GBT Player is writen in 100% assembly. That means that it is fast, it won't need a lot of CPU time (around 7%?), and you will have a lot of time for your game logic. There is source code for RGBDS, the main option for Game Boy development (in my opinion). There is also legacy code for an old version that also supported GBDK, but it's mostly unmaintained.
mod2gbt is writen in C, and should compile anywhere.
GBT Player is open source, and it is licensed under the BSD license. That means that you can use and modify it but you have to give credit for the original work. It would be nice to you tell me if you use it, anyway. :)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Version 1.x.x converted songs won't work with player version 2.0.0 or higher. The same happens with 2.x.x and version 3.0.0. They have to be converted again.
How to compile the example
Compile mod2gbt. In Windows you can use a command line like:
gcc -o mod2gbt.exe mod2gbt A bash script for Linux has been included in case you are feeling lazy.
Put rgbasm, rgbfix and rgblink in the gbt-player folder and double click the bat/sh file in the rbgds_example folder. A compiled GB binary is included.

gpghax

Disclaimer: this can brick your console. Don't use if you don't understand every piece of how it works.
This uses lolhack, a payload launcher created by madmonkey.
What if PlayStation Classic, but with a game library that's actually fun to play?
Adding Custom Games:
Open games/custom.db in an SQLite Editor of your choice. Add new entry to the GAME table as follows:
GAME_ID = numerical identifier, has to be unique GAME_TITLE_STRING = Name of the game PUBLISHER_NAME = self explanatory RELEASE_YEAR = self explanatory PLAYERS = number of players RATING_IMAGE = Has to be CERO_A GAME_MANUAL_QR_IMAGE = Has to be QR_Code_GM LINK_GAME_ID = leave empty Then you have to add the actual disc files to the DB. Open DISC table and add new entry per each disc for the game:
GAME_ID = GAME_ID from the GAME table DISC_NUMBER = disc number BASENAME = base name for the cue/bin file pair, i.e: SCUS-94426 Save that file.
Then you have to add actual game files, go to games dir and create a new folder with the GAME_ID from previous steps, i.e 21. Inside of that directory you need to put at least those files:
BASENAME.cue (use the BASENAME value from the DISC table, i.e SCUS-94426.cue) BASENAME.bin (use the BASENAME value from the DISC table, i.e SCUS-94426.bin) BASENAME.png (use the BASENAME value from the DISC table, i.e SCUS-94426.png) pcsx.cfg (use the default one from the sample game with id 21) Running:
Put everything onto an empty USB drive named SONY, plug the usb drive into the port 2 and reboot the system. If everything worked fine, you should see your custom game in the menu.
NOTES:
If you add a game, navigate to it in the menu, close the console, and then remove said game, upon next boot the console will fail to start. You need to make sure to always shutdown the system with one of the stock games selected.
If you don't want to/don't know how to edit the database file, you can just replace the empty SCUS-94426.cue and SCUS-94426.bin files from this repo with your game (just make sure you keep the same name for the files) and it should work somewhat fine.

GzsTool

C# Fox Engine dat/qar, fpk, fpkd, pftxs and sbp unpacker/repacker.
Usage
GzsTool file_path|folder_path Examples
Unpacking a dat file. This will unpack all files to the folder called "file_name" and will create a "file_name.dat.xml" file.
GzsTool file_path.dat Unpacking an fpk/fpkd file. This will unpack all files to the folder called "file_name_fpk/file_name_fpkd" and will create a "file_name.fpk.xml/file_name.fpkd.xml" file.
GzsTool file_path.fpk GzsTool file_path.fpkd Unpacking a pftxs file. This will unpack all files to the folder called "file_name_pftxs" and will create a "file_name.pftxs.xml" file.
GzsTool file_path.pftxs Unpacking a sbp file. This will unpack all files to the folder called "file_name_sbp" and will create a "file_name.sbp.xml" file.
GzsTool file_path.sbp Unpacking all fpk and fpkd files in a folder. This will unpack all files to their respective folders and create the respective xml files.
GzsTool folder_path Repacking a dat file. This will create the "file_name.dat" archive.
GzsTool file_path.dat.xml Repacking an fpk/fpkd file. This will create the "file_name.fpk/file_name.fpkd" archive.
GzsTool file_path.fpk.xml GzsTool file_path.fpkd.xml Repacking a pftxs file. This will create the "file_name.pftxs" archive.
GzsTool file_path.pftxs.xml Remarks
Repacking a dat file without changes will result in a smaller file. This is due to the tool not reencrypting formerly encrypted files and thereby not requiring to store the decryption keys. Unpacking Ground Zeroes g0s and pftxs files will only work with v0.2 (Ground Zeroes)

This is a GUI for hakchi by madmonkey.
This application can add more games (game ROMs) to your NES Classic Mini or SNES Classic Mini. All you need is to connect it to a Windows PC via Micro-USB cable. No soldering or disassembling required.
Features
Change any game settings (including command-line arguments) Fill all game data automatically using included database Automatically check for supported games Search for box art using Google Images Use Game Genie codes for NES games; includes Game Genie database Automatically patch problem games (patches for many popular games included) Upload hundreds of games at once Return to the HOME menu with a button combination instead of the Reset button Enable autofire A/B Simulate the start button on the second controller (for Famicom Mini) Disable seizure protection Allows to install user-mods to add more features (even support for SNES/N64/Genesis/etc., music replacement, themes, etc.) So you were the first to hack the NES Classic Mini?
No! It was my Russian сomrade, madmonkey, who first published a successful hack of the the NES Classic Mini. He created the original “hakchi” tool. However, it was not very user-friendly, so I decided to create a tool which is simple to use by anyone--not only Linux users. I named it “hakchi2” because I don’t like to come up with names. So my first version was a 2.0 release 🙂
How do I use the tool?
Basically you just need to unpack it somewhere on your harddrive (installation is not required), run it, press “Add more games”, select some game ROMs and press “Synchronize”. The application will guide you through this process.
How does the tool actually work?
You don’t need to worry about it. But if you really want to know, it’s using FEL mode. FEL is a low-level subroutine contained in the BootROM on Allwinner devices. It is used for initial programming and recovery of devices using USB. So we can upload some code into RAM and execute it. In this way we can read the Linux kernel (yes the NES Classic Mini and Famicom Mini runs an Linux operating-system), write kernel or execute kernel from memory without writing it to flash.
So we can dump the kernel image of the NES Mini, unpack it, add some games and run a script which will copy them back to flash, repack, upload and execute. However, the games directory is on a read-only partition.
Therefore we also need to create and flash a custom kernel with a special script that creates a sandbox folder on a writable partition and mounts it over the original games folder. This means that your original files are safe: you cannot delete or harm the original files in any way, even if you wanted.
For kernel patching my application just executes other applications, which is why there is a “tools” folder.

hakchi2 CE

hakchi2 CE es un fork de hakchi2 (de ClusterM) realizado por princess_daphie, DanTheMan827 y skogaby. El objetivo de este fork es no solo proporcionar nuevas funciones y mejoras de la interfaz de usuario, sino también actualizar el núcleo de hakchi2 con el resto del ecosistema de modding (es decir, compatibilidad con host USB, compatibilidad con SD, etc).
Esta aplicación puede agregar más juegos (ROM de juegos) a NES / SNES Classic Mini o Famicom Mini. Todo lo que necesita es conectarlo a una PC con Windows mediante un cable Micro-USB. No es necesario soldar ni desmontar.
Características
Cambiar la configuración del juego (incluidos los argumentos de la línea de comandos) Complete todos los datos del juego automáticamente usando la base de datos incluida Verifica automáticamente los juegos compatibles Busque el arte de la caja con Google Imágenes Utilice códigos de Game Genie para juegos de NES; incluye la base de datos de Game Genie Parchear automáticamente los juegos con problemas (parches para muchos juegos populares incluidos) Sube cientos de juegos a la vez Regrese al menú INICIO con una combinación de botones en lugar del botón Restablecer Habilitar disparo automático A / B Simular el botón de inicio en el segundo controlador (para Famicom Mini) Deshabilitar la protección contra convulsiones Permite instalar mods de usuario para agregar más funciones (incluso soporte para SNES / N64 / Genesis / etc., reemplazo de música, temas, etc.) Permite a los usuarios expandir el almacenamiento de su sistema (siempre que un concentrador USB OTG o un módulo de conexión SD)
¿Cómo utilizo la herramienta?
Básicamente, solo necesita descomprimirlo en algún lugar de su disco duro (no se requiere instalación), ejecutarlo, presionar "Agregar más juegos", seleccionar algunas ROM de juegos y presionar "Sincronizar". La aplicación lo guiará a través de este proceso.
¿Cómo funciona realmente la herramienta?
No necesitas preocuparte por eso. Pero si realmente quieres saberlo, está usando el modo FEL. FEL es una subrutina de bajo nivel contenida en BootROM en dispositivos Allwinner. Se utiliza para la programación inicial y la recuperación de dispositivos que utilizan USB. Entonces podemos cargar algo de código en la RAM y ejecutarlo.
De esta manera podemos leer el kernel de Linux (sí, NES Classic Mini y Famicom Mini ejecutan un sistema operativo Linux), escribir kernel o ejecutar kernel desde la memoria sin escribirlo en flash. Entonces podemos volcar la imagen del kernel de NES Mini, descomprimirla, agregar algunos juegos y ejecutar un script que los copiará de nuevo a flash, volver a empaquetar, cargar y ejecutar.
Sin embargo, el directorio de juegos está en una partición de solo lectura. Por lo tanto, también necesitamos crear y actualizar un kernel personalizado con un script especial que crea una carpeta de espacio aislado en una partición de escritura y la monta sobre la carpeta de juegos original.
Esto significa que sus archivos originales están seguros: no puede eliminar ni dañar los archivos originales de ninguna manera, incluso si lo desea. Para el parcheo del kernel, mi aplicación simplemente ejecuta otras aplicaciones, por lo que hay una carpeta de "herramientas".

How do I convert existing homebrew? Rename it "boot.dol" and use the supplied dol2gci tool in a command prompt. I have a Memory Card 59 and the SD Card Adapter. Can I load Swiss? Yes. Put it as "boot.dol" on the SD card. I have a Memory Card 251 or larger. Can I load Swiss? Yes. by Extrems.

iplboot

minimal GameCube IPL.
Usage
Flash the latest build to your Qoob Pro or Viper as a BIOS.
The Qoob SX is currently not supported because it uses a very different process to boot, and reverse-engineering efforts so far have been unsuccessful.
After flashing, place an ipl.dol file on your SD card and turn the Cube on, it will load it right away. The IPL also acts as a server for emu_kidid's usb-load, should you want to use it for development purposes.

===========
DexDrive:
===========
As of version 1.6 MemcardRex has a suport for InterAct DexDrive.
Both reading and writing data from/to PS1 Memory Cards is supported.
As you may or may not know DexDrive is a very quirky device and sometimes it just refuses to work.
Even the first party software (DexPlorer) has problems with it (failed detection of a device).
If you encounter problems, unplug power from DexDrive, unplug it from COM port and connect it all again.
It is recommended that a power cord is connected to a DexDrive, otherwise some cards won't be detected.
Communication was tested on Windows 7 x64 on a real COM port and with a Prolific and FTDI based USB adapters.
To select a COM port DexDrive is connected to go to "Options"->"Preferences".

MemCARDuino

Arduino PlayStation 1 Memory Card reader.
Connecting a Memory Card to Arduino:
Looking at the Memory Card:
_________________ |_ _|_ _ _|_ _ _| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
DATA - Pin 12 on Arduino CMND - Pin 11 on Arduino 7.6V - External 7.6V power (only required for 3rd party cards and knockoffs) GND - GND Pin on Arduino 3.6V - 5V pin with a voltage divider to 3.6V ATT - Pin 10 on Arduino CLK - Pin 13 on Arduino ACK - Pin 2 on Arduino Reading save from a PC:
To read saves from the Memory Card to your PC use MemcardRex if you are using Windows.
For other operating systems use a provided Python script.
If you are writing your own application the protocol is as follows:
Interfacing with MemCARDuino:
Communication is done at 38400 bps.
To check if the MemCARDuino is connected to the selected COM port send GETID command.
Device should respond with IDENTIFIER.
Optionally you can send a GETVER to get the version of the firmware.
To Read a 128byte frame send a MCR command with MSB byte and LSB byte of the frame you want to read.
MemCARDduino will respond with 128 byte frame data, [MSB xor LSB xor Data] and Memory Card status byte.
To Write a frame send a MCW command with MSB byte and LSB byte, 128 byte data and [MSB xor LSB xor Data].
MemCARDduino will respond with Memory Card status byte.
Checking if Memory Card is connected:
Read a frame from the card and verify the returned status byte.
If it's 0x47 then card is connected. If it's 0xFF card is not connected.
Python interface:
The python script is designed to raw copy the Memory Card data to PC and vice versa.
Note: As ususal, use at your own risk, it might not work out of the box.
Usage
memcarduino.py -p,--port <serial port> , -r,--read <output file> OR -w,--write <input file> OR -f,--format , [-c,--capacity <capacity>] , [-b,--bitrate <bitrate:bps>] <serial port> accepts COM port names, or for linux, file references (/dev/tty[...] or others) <output file> read from memory card and save to file <input file> read from file and write to memory card (accepts both windows and linux file URI's) <capacyty> sets memory card capacity [blocks] *1 block = 128 B* (default 1024 blocks) <bitrate> sets bitrate on serial port (default 38400 bps) This requires a serial port (/dev/ttyACM0 for Arduino uno's, /dev/ttyUSBX for others, COMX for Windows, and various for macOS) it also requires a specific output file. Changing the baudrate isn't recommended, but is available anyway (it does mean changing the Arduino code manually...)

NL Compressor

Formerly GBA LZ77 decompressor, NL’s compressor has extensible support for several (at the moment only 2) compressions. Download includes Visual Studio Project template, which you can use to create custom compressions. Further instructions in the README. Requires Mono or .NET to be installed on your computer.
How to use:
~~~~~~~~~~~
First, you need to select a compression.
If you don't, you can't do anything with the compressor. Choose one of the dll files thaat come with the program.
Controls, UI, etc: Just read what it says in the UI.
Default values: If no offset or size is specified, the values are offset = 0 and size = the whole file.
Actions:
Scan: Scans the input file for potential compressed data. Will find every instance in the file. Offsets are outputted in text to the specified outputfile. You can also specifie the area where to search with input info with input offset and size. Decompress: Decompresses the data from specified offset for specified size and writes it to outputfile. If outputfile doesn't exist, it will be created. Output offset can also be specified. Compress: Compresses data from specified area of input file. Writes it to specified output file offset. Doesn't use size for anything. Lenght (compressed): Counts the lenght of the compressed data. Input offset is the location of the compressed data. Returns -1 if not compressed. Lenght (decompressed): Counts the lenght of the decompressed data. Input offset is the location of the compressed data. Returns -1 if not compressed. Decompressable: Checks if data can be decompressed. Input offset is the position of the data. ________________________________
How to use compression template:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copy the file MyCompressionTemplate.zip to folder ...\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\ and use the template when creating a new project. Fix the referance to Nintenlord's compression and you are ready. NOTE: Do not unzip the template.
Template created with Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

NoPS - NotPsxSerial

"NoPS" -- Serial/TTY suite for Unirom 8 featuring kernel-resident debugging, cart/EEPROM flasher, .exe upload, memcard tools, peeks, pokes, dumps and bugs! GDB TCP/UART bridge in progress.
Features
Kernel-resident debugging: Debug running games on a retail console Cart/EEPROM flasher: Back up and reflash cheat carts .EXE or raw binary upload: Run homebrew utilities or upload assets for development Memorycard tools: Backup or rewrite whole memory cards to raw (emulator) format Peeks n Pokes: Peek or poke running games/homebrew (incl cheat codes) Mem dumps: Grab a copy of RAM, cart EEPROM, BIOS, etc TCP->SIO Bridge: Raw communication via TCP In progress: GDB TCP->SIO bridge!: Step through your code in the editor, etc
Supported configs:
Cables:
Basic 3 wire TX/RX/GND (e.g. a 3 quid dongle off amazon and a couple of wires) Sharklink with handshake Yaroze cables Switchable cables OS:
Windows via .NET or Mono OSX / Linux via Mono Basic Usage
The hello world test executable was written by Shadow of PSXDev.net. To run it:
nops /exe psx_helloworld.exe COM8 Where COMPORT might be COM3, COM14, etc under windows and /dev/ttyWhatever under *nix with mono. win: Find it by opening devmgmt.msc from the run box. mac + linux: run ./nops for some example device names
e.g.
nops /rom unirom_s.rom COM14 ./nops /rom unirom_s.rom /dev/ttyUSB01 Once you've specified a com port in this directory, it will be saved to COMPORT.TXT
so next time around you just need to:
nops /rom unirom_s.rom Uploading Stuff
Your basic "Upload to the PSX" features are:
nops /exe whatever.exe nops /rom whatever.rom nops /bin 0x8000ADDR somefile.whatever Where /exe executs a file from the header information, /rom will attempt to identify the JEDEC chip and flash it, and /bin will just upload a binary file to a specific address.
Flow Control
To jump to an address
nops /jump 0x80?????? To call an address (and return)
nops /call 0x80?????? To poke an 8, 16 or 32 bit value
nops /poke8 0x80100000 0x01 nops /poke16 0x801F0012 0xFFEE nops /poke32 0xA000C000 0x00112233 Reading data
And to get the information back:
nops /dump 0x80???? 0xSIZE Or watch it oncreen:
nops /watch 0x80030000 0xSIZE Misc
returns PONG!
nops /ping Restart the machine
nops /reset Other operators:
/m Use in conjunction with anything else to keep the serial connection open and view printf/TTY logs: E.g.
nops /exe whatever.exe /m nops /rom whatever.rom /m or simply nops /m if you just want to listen.
/fast and /slow
Every command also supports /fast This will send a low speed ping to the PSX tell it to bump from 115200 to 518400
Note: Once in /fast mode, the next time you run nops, it has no way to tell So remember to include /fast in every command till you restart!
A big thanks:
While NoPS has been re-written from the ground up for Unirom 8, before that it was a decompiled version of Shadow's PSXSerial with the header changed to reflect that. (Or more specifically to deny that). In keeping with what I've just decided is tradition, we're going with the same motif.
