DS development > my own loader...

#63314 - Malefactor - Sun Dec 11, 2005 10:39 pm

Is it possible to write a loader that loads the actual game on the other end of my passme2?

I'm not asking anyone to do this for me.. I just want to know if it is feasible before I go out and spend the cash for a passme.. I have a specific project in mind that involves loading the game, running a couple lines of code, then executing the game.

It's possible to return to the game by having your ARM7 code redirect ARM9 into original ARM9 entry point of the game and then jumping to original ARM7 entry point.

EDIT: Of course, if you modify some memory before returning to the game, you could mess up the binary and the game won't work.

ty

My first project is going to be something that's already been done with the ROM.. I just wanted to make sure it could be done with a hardcopy.
