I'm sorry. I just had too.

Very good app though! I like seeing the processes my 3DS uses.

Idk how exactly the ram work, but I wonder something.
It's possible to know, with the viewer mode, what song/bgm is currently playing?

The game has 7000+ sound file and it's a pain in the ass to know what the music I want extract.

 

[rick_gbatemp]

hope the search function can come soon as it is really important for cheating

But it gets freeze frequently in my ntr 3.4 Luma3DS(with 11.3 OFW), which is annoying.

I'm not sure if @Nanquitas is still working on this. But I'd love to see a new update to this tool so I could possibly make some rad cheats!

This should be possible as an overlay plugin.

This plugin has been abandoned since a while now, it was my first plugin, I learned C with it.
Now, don't loose hope for cheat searching.

Hmm, you might find the name in the ram, but there's likely nothing like a static place for a sound name.
At least I'm not aware of such a thing.

If you ever figure it and want to put it in a plugin, pm me.

 

[David Rico]

Yes, now have passed some time since the project has not been updated...
I hope really really that the search function will be finished

This project is abandoned since long, it was a project to learn C.

But don't worry, I still have something fun I'm working on:

This is amazing, any ETA?

 

[Nanquitas]

No ETA, I'm not good on estimating delays.
It's been a couple of months that I'm working on it already.

I'm in a perpetual state of hype for @Nanquitas' NTR plugin innovations. Can't wait!

Hello everyone !

I didn't know where to post this. I thought of homebrew development categories first, but it's not really an homebrew, it's more like an utilities. Sorry if it's not in the right place !

I made a plugin for NTR CFW, which allow you to navigate through the memory region used by a process. I made it for studying purpose first, but maybe it can be useful to someone so I share it.

So, you choose a process and you can see all the data stocked in memory.

For now, the plugin can only read the memory, you can't change it with my plugin.
Also, it's a home plugin, so you can still have your cheats plugins and it doesn't shutdown the network function.

Spoiler: Viewer mode

Spoiler: Address

Spoiler: Edit mode

Spoiler: Pointer mode

Important information:

Version 1.2 bring new features but they were only tested on N3DS. So I don't know how the o3DS will react to this update.
Some of the new features are making conflict with most game as they weren't designed to use the n3DS hid.
Even if I fixed the crash of the 3DS when entering in the plugin while a game / app is running, it seems that it can sometime make the 3DS freeze after a random while (in the plugin only).

So I recommend to always use the plugin in the homemenu ! (Press Home to pause the app currently running)
If not, expect strange behaviors and bugs.

Search mode is not implemented right now !! (In a future update )

Process dumper: It's a little thing i've made as a test first, but maybe it can be useful to someone so I've decided to let it.
It will dump the chosen process into: "SD:/dump/ramdump.bin". Be sure to create the dump folder or you will have an error.

This dumper will read and write from 0x0 to 0x20000000. Theoretically the end file can be used in soft like TempAR for finding pointer (can be useful to cheats creator).
The dumper do not delete the file if previously existed, it'll just write on it, so be careful to export/rename it before doing another dump.

Viewer mode keys:
- UP : top address - 8 (go up);
- DOWN : top address + 8 (go down);
- LEFT : change current memory region, (-1);
- RIGHT : change current memory region, (+1);
- CPAD DOWN : go down quickly;
- CPAD UP : go up quickly;
- C-Stick DOWN / X : go down very very quickly (+= 0x1000);
- C-Stick UP / Y : go up very very quickly(-= 0x1000);
- L + UP : go to the beginning of the current memory region ;
- L + DOWN : go to the end of the current memory region;
- A : refresh (read the memory and print the change);
- B : quit;
- START : Address mode.
- L + R : Edit mode
- R : Pointer mode

Address mode keys:
- UP / DOWN : Change the selected value
- LEFT / RIGHT : Move the selector;
- B : Cancel;
- A : Go to the entered address.

Edit mode keys:
- DPAD / CPAD / C-Stick : move the selector;
- X : Up the selected value;
- Y : Down the selected value;
- B : Cancel;
- START : Write.

Pointer mode keys:
- DPAD / CPAD / C-Stick : move the selector;
- B : Cancel;
- A : Go to the selected value.

Spoiler: Version < 1.2 Keys

Viewer mode keys:
- L + UP : go to the beginning of the current memory region ;
- L + DOWN : go to the end of the current memory region;
- UP : top address - 8 (go up);
- DOWN : top address + 8 (go down);
- LEFT : change current memory region, (-1);
- RIGHT : change current memory region, (+1);
- X : go down quickly;
- Y : go up quickly;
- A : refresh (read the memory and print the change);
- B : quit;
- START : Address mode.
- L + R : Edit mode

Address mode keys:
- UP / DOWN : Change the selected value

Edit mode keys:
- UP / DOWN / LEFT / RIGHT : move the selector;
- X : Up the selected value;
- Y : Down the selected value;
- B : Cancel;
- START : Write.

Pointer mode keys:
- UP / DOWN / LEFT / RIGHT: move the selector;
- B : Cancel;
- A : Go to the selected value.

The memory region which have a size <= 0x1000 will not be available. It's cause there was too much of them and most of them if not all are useless.

If you have bugs/suggestions or anything else, feel free to feedback, express yourself !

Spoiler: Bugs

If you have bugs with edit mode, exemple it doesn't write the change.
Check the following:
- Connect the 3DS to a ntr debugger (Modded or Original);
- Try again to write the change, checkthe debugger, you should have some infos in why it's not working.
If you have no useful infos or if you have bugs with an other function, post it, if i can't help you i'll provide you a full debug version of the plugin.

Spoiler: Changelog

Spoiler: V. 1.2.5 Beta

- Correcting the progress display on the process dumper, the modification of this function broke the progress bar in the previous version.

Spoiler: V. 1.2.4 Beta

- The memory used by the plugin have been lessened, fixing the fact \
that the plugin was preventing the browser to be launched \
(at least on N3DS, don't know for O3DS)
- Improved the keypad accuracy in address mode and editor mode
- Fix a bug in the Dumper process which was causing a data loss \
(but we now dump / write with a block of 0x4000 instead of 0x10000)
- Changing the way the dumper will write the data:
-- Adding the same header as Gateway's header in the ramdump, allowing \
to write only the region with data  (made without gateway's ramdumps \
to study so can be not exactly the same, but it's working so who care :p)
-- The file will see the size shortened so there is two benefits:
--- The dump is a bit faster
--- The file being lighter, it's faster to send it through FTP
-- To expand the file for using a soft like TempAR and find pointer, use the tool by @xJam.es

Spoiler: V. 1.2.3 Beta

- Fix dynamic memory allocation on o3DS (Thanks to @David Rico for his debug support)
- Do not show memory region with state 0x02 (IO) as they make the 3DS freeze
- Re-implement X & Y key as C-Stick replacement
- Seems that I've corrected the freeze possibility but we need more test, please report if you have freeze using the plugin
- Transformed the progress bar in a touchObject. So you can now navigate in the region through the progress bar. Even if it's not really accurate, it's still faster to go in the middle or else than scrolling.

Spoiler: V. 1.2.1 Beta

- Changed key according to the implementation of HID
- Implemented a really basic process dumper (to a file)
- Implemented touchObject;
- Made a lot of change in the code
- Maybe other things I have forgotten about

Spoiler: V. 1.1.1 Beta

Spoiler: V. 1

Initial release

The GW-Ram-Ref is not from me, it's made by @x.Jam.es !!!
The TempAR is not from me, it's made by... Well I don't know, if someone knows tell me so I can add his name in this line !

Hey @Nanquitas is this project open source? I'm looking into automated editing of specific processes.

 

[Nanquitas]

No it's not, and source code is gone since long.
But it was trash anyway, so it wouldn't have been a good base for your plugin.

Incredible that I have this infos more than 1 year after the release !

Thanks, I'll edit the first post with proper credits

This project is abandoned since long, it was a project to learn C.

But don't worry, I still have something fun I'm working on:

If it can also search and edit memory in other game like that, then it is enough for me
I just want a simple tool to do this.

 

[Nanquitas]

Yep it can do both, with a searcher, hexeditor and freecheats to easily create simple cheats.

You can use this plugin on any games to use those features: Zelda OOT's plugin.
