DS Misc > DLDI Patching on Ubuntu

#132204 - tondopie - Sun Jun 24, 2007 5:07 pm

I just got a newer computer yesterday (1 GHz dual processor Dell Precision 420) and I want to do some DLDI patching. I tried the Nautilaus script or w/e but it keeps saying 'Could not find dlditool in the PATH' and I have the dlditool in my homebrew folder ('/home/max/homebrew/') and the PatchDLDI script in the right place too. Am I missing something?

Eh...? Use the terminal.

If you can't do that, you haven't got a hope in Linux. Go back to windows ;)

Unless I misunderstood you, in which case, ignore me.

nvm, I got it to work. I started out on a Mac. I know how to use Terminal... ;)

I had the same problem when using the Ubuntu Dapper Drake 60.6 LTS LiveCD, while my Windows broke. Although it wasn't my PC, so I wasn't allowed to install it. ;)

Using it through Terminal doesn't work, same problem as listed above.

Now if only Ubuntu had NTFS write support on the LiveCD... Feisty Fawn probably does...

If it says you don't have dlditool in you PATH, maybe you don't.
Code:
echo $PATH
and if '/home/max/homebrew/' (or wherever dlditool is) isn't there you need to add it e.g:
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:/home/max/homebrew
this will add the folder /home/max/homebrew to the PATH.



dlditool is usually kept int he devkitARM/bin folder. If you have the DEVKITARM variable set up you could use
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:$DEVKITARM/bin
instead
