OK, for the PAL System Menu the offset of the string which AnyRegion Changer v1.1b mod05 searches for is:
4800128C48001C692C0300004082001C

The closest hit for the USA System Menu is relatively close, and before it, with a slight difference just at the end of it:
4800128C48001C692C0300004800001C

I'll assume that there's a tiny difference at the very end for the USA, and that's what I'm looking for. For the codes for the PAL, it seems that it has taken the values for USA verbatim, so maybe putting the PAL values into the USA one proportionately might work:

Here's the reverse codes in the right offsets for USA:
[Disc Area Check]
version=289
offset=81377AE4
value=0x4082001C
[Disc Area Check]
version=289
offset=81377B08
value=0x41820010

Would it be possible to block ALL updates with PreLoader ?
We now have disc updates blocked, but the online update is still possible.
Seems to me if the right offset is found it can be added in the hack.ini.

That would be very convenient for all those with little brothers and sisters, wives and ignorent girlfriends.

Should we place it like

[Disc Area Check]
version=289
offset=0x81377AE4
value=0x4082001C

or without that "0x" in the start of the offset..??

Hey,

I see you use the sys.dol for getting these codes...

How you do that?
I want to make some too

get the sysmenu.dol wich is /title/00000001/00000002/content/10000046.app and copy it to the root of SD and rename it to sysmenu.dol (precisely) then just run the menu patcher by aquilino or wiicrazy

That one right?

Okay thanks.
I think I got to re compile the source every time for each new code I want to make...?

Hmm that one doesn't work with preloader, if you don't have preloader installed you can use that... (that one doesn't require you have sysmenu.dol in the root of the sd)

if you have preloader you can use the menu loader stuff I modified but menu loader's patches are a bit more complex... (http://www.tepetaklak.com/data/menu_loader_recovery.rar)
of course you can use the original too but that will not work with preloader...

currently working on a patcher that have the option to read the system menu in three different ways.. 2 and 3 should be compatible with preloader I guess...
1. using nand es_readcontent calls
2. reading from sd sd card
3. using isfs read calls

You could just ban the servers of the update server in your wireless....

Probably stops system menu from not recognizing the other region discs... region free part that doesn't deal with video modes to put in another way...

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
