Hack which BIN files?

Hippo · #1 22-04-2001, 14:31

Do I have to hack all BIN files when making a selfbootable backup. I have read a few tutorials, the echelon one says to hack the IP.BIN and the BOOT.BIN but doesn't mention the other BIN files. A tutorial from another site mentions hacking 2_DP.BIN, SG_DPLDR.BIN and MAIGO.BIN. The game I am trying to make selfbootable is MSR which has these three files aswell as GINXFER.BIN AND MSR.BIN do I need to hack all these files to 11700. I tried hacking all the BIN files to 11700 and it plays the movie at the begining then just a black screen it trys to load something then stops.

Hacking the 1st_read.bin should be fine normally for most games. The other files like maigo.bin, sg_dpldr.bin, and stuff are needed i think if game has online features then you would hack them too.

No not yet, has anyone compared the bin files to the released version to see how to hack them.

Hey, many games have more than just ip.bin & bootbin, to be hacked. In fact any file which has the string 'CD001' needs to be hacked.

Use START/FIND/FILES OR FOLDERS (in windows)

Search for 'CD001' in *.bin
just 'DAHACK' the files which are found in search

ie
DAHACK maigo.bin -no extras needed

but for bootbin, as long as disk has audio.raw burnt onto first track:-

DAHACK 1st_read.bin 11700 -or 0 for boot disk

on some systems msinfo could be 11702 - ##### msinfo with 'CDRECORD -dev=*.*.* -msinfo
(Though on CDDA versions of games msinfo will be much higher as the Audio tracks will be written to CD first).

where *.*.* is SCSI address of CD burner.

Different between Binhack , Hack , Hack2 , Hack3 , Dahack , Cdda & Bincon

[BINHACK] by Echelon

It rewrite the place which specifies 45000 sectors in ".BIN" file
It also rewrite the First-Read File Name "Bootbin" & LBA in the "IP.BIN" file.

Usage:
binhack ,input "BOOTBIN" , input "IP.BIN" & input "2nd msinfo number"

----------

[HACK] by Bero

It rewrite the place which specifies 45166 sectors in ".BIN" file

Example:
hack 1ST_READ.BIN 11700
This rewrites 45166 sectors to 11700+150+16=11866

----------

[HACK2] by ???

It rewrite the place which specifies 45150 sectors in ".BIN" file

Example:
hack 1ST_READ.BIN 11700
This rewrites 45150 sectors to 11700+150=11850

----------

[HACK3] by Pekearai

hack3 = hack.exe + hack2.exe

Example: hack3 1ST_READ.BIN 11700
This rewrites 45150 sectors to 11700+150=11850
This rewrites 45166 sectors to 11700+150+16=11866

----------

[DAHACK] by Pekearai

dahack for patch ".BIN" file which contain CDDA
The difference between DAHACK & HACK3 was 45150 - 150 alike - 45166
It rewrites to the specification value +150+16.

Example:
hack3 1ST_READ.BIN 15000
This rewrites 45150 sectors to 150
This rewrites 45166 sectors to 15000+150+16=15166

For this example "15000"
"15000" is the session 2 start sector which obtained by cdrecord -dev=x,x,x -msinfo

dahack 1st_read.bin 2nd msinfo number

same as

hack3 1st_read.bin 0
then binhack , 1st_read.bin , ip.bin & input 2nd msinfo number

----------

[CDDA] by Pekearai

It rewrite ".BIN" file to enable it to play CDDA Track
Notes: It only works on Gametype "Katana" with CDDA

Usage:
dahack ".BIN file" 2nd msinfo number
cdda ".BIN file"

----------

[BINCON] by dopefish

It rewrite "0WINCEOS.BIN" file to enable it to play DC WinCE apps
on selfbootable-cdr or Boot Loader cdr

Usage:
bincon 0WINCEOS.BIN 1WINCEOS.BIN
Delete 0WINCEOS.BIN
Rename 1WINCEOS.BIN 0WINCEOS.BIN

Notice: After you successfully patch the file "0winceos.bin" ,
you need to start IPBIN4WIN, Open up file "IP.BIN" ,
Click the "S**A OS Used" box on & Click the Patch button,
otherwise it'll not work!

----------

[GDROM Sector Info]

45000 - GD-ROM Start sector
45150 - IP.BIN (16 sector) Start sector
45166 - GD-ROM DATA Start sector
