Gecko 1.9.3.1

[Yoshi52]

You don't think it's possible to try and change Gecko OS' disc booting method or something, do you? When l try to load Brawl on my Wii, it gives up on it after two seconds if it doesn't catch the DVD Header or something immediately. Right now, I have to constantly choose "Boot disc" over and over again till it works... And it turns out after failing to load a disc after 13-16 times, Gecko OS freezes...

OK, figured out what happened here. My Wii doesn't even SPIN Brawl anymore until after an hour of trying again. But the part with Gecko OS crashing after 14 retries is still a problem. It just hangs on the 15th try at booting a disc.

Is it safe to download 1.9.3 and use the channel forwarder for it? Or is there a channel forwarder for 1.9.3.1 and I don't know about it?

Hi,

I am trying to download gecko 1.9.3 on the first page but the keeps getting the forbidden error. Used both firefox and IE...both failed. any other links for it?

thanks

Wiibrew
it should work.

Wiibrew does not work (unfortunately).. I added a mirror for some USB Gecko project files (basically those files which were not solely developed by Nuke):

Gecko1931.zip is among them!
Sorry for the inconvenience.. Nuke's quick decision kinda hit both brkirch and me

After many forum users had reported that cheats for N64 games are not working, forum member Franky D just figured out that cheating on VC games via Gecko is only possible if the Wii System Menu is set to "English" in the Wii Language Settings.
Would it be possible to fix this in the next Gecko version, so cheating is working on other menu languages as well?

I've got a small request for the development of GeckOS.

Would it be possible to implement the ability to decode the binary digits of a byte and read/write them?

What I mean is that, obviously, a byte is made up of 8bits (e.g. 00100110) and this would represent 66 in HEX and 102 in DECIMAL.  What I think would be an excellent addition would be the ability to modify read/write a binary digit DIRECTLY without having use HEX.

This function is available in CheatEngine and I use it often.  Off the top of my head a game that uses binary digits is Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.  The map, compass and Key in dungeons and the swords, shields, boots, etc in your inventory use binary for a True or False purpose.  Basically boolean (Do you have the item/do you not have the item....)

This isn't an absolutley important requirement since if you need to modify a digit (e.g 0000[1]000) you can just add or subtract the hexidecimal value that this digit represents.

Just throwing this out there for if you awesome guys are looking for something to include in later releases

I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

If you mean modifying through WiiRD/Gecko dNET then it wouldn't help to change Gecko.
The changes should be done to the pc application, not Gecko.

This isn't an absolutley important requirement since if you need to modify a digit (e.g 0000[1]000) you can just add or subtract the hexidecimal value that this digit represents.

A better solution to this would be to OR it.

What I think would be an excellent addition would be the ability to modify read/write a binary digit DIRECTLY without having use HEX.

As Romaap mentioned, you want to use a logical OR.  This is like a "reverse bitmask"; when we want to isolate bits for analysis, we clear all the other bits using AND.  When you want to set a bit, you use OR to set the bits you want.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_(computing)#Masking_bits_to_1

We usually represent AND with & or && and OR with | or ||, but there are other symbols sometimes.

Let's say you started with 01000, and you wanted to set bit 1 (that is, 01010; bit 0 is the least significant bit).  OR with a value that is composed of the bits you want set.

01000 |
00010 =
01010

In fact, if you look at the disassembly near where a "flag" is being set (i.e. set the flag which indicates the player has the dungeon map), you'll see that they're using the instruction ori = OR with Immediate.  The Immediate is almost always a power of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc), which in binary always looks like 0001, 0010, 0100, 1000, etc.

If you don't want to use Assembly, you can use a Gecko register instead.  See the 0x86 codetype.

[Dude]

I'm gonna have to check the assembly for that now 

I didn't realise that you could simply use logical commands - I was performing math (initially) and found a function in CheatEngine that "decodes" the bit and enables you to write it

I just naturally assumed that a modification to GeckOS would be needed and new code-types created in addition to updates on the PC side lol excuse my n00bness.

So, assuming that this sort of ability has enough demand enough to include it, it would be possible to include this ability in WiiRD/Gecko.net? - If you agree then I'll post this in the request/develpoment thread for discussion

Thanks for feedback on using logical commands for accessing the required bit though, guys
