USBAdvance wide open

[eustolio]

yea, it seems this guy only patched and re-skinned USB Advance, not re-invented it

In any case a great work from Ifcaro and your team.

Ok thanx I can confirm it's working on a Pal PS2. Just wondering why it needs that USBD.IRX file cause my USBAdvance elf runs without it?
And anyone knows if it's patched especially for PS3? I checked the files in a hexeditor and there are some differences, but i can not see if it something else besides the other skin it uses...

Because the Ps3 only recognizes new versions USBD.IRX 0.14 and superiors...

I have v1.4.0 from GT4 and TT will that work?

All thanks to work Zer0-X .

I tried out that tutorial using the downloads for it too and couldnt get it to work as described, maybe i miss-interpreted it somehow.

I didnt understand the purpose for this step:

Well now that you right click select "insert" put the same value as I (100000) and apply the operation 2x.

Original French text:
Bon maintenant que vous avez cliquer droit selectionner "insert" mettez la méme valeur que moi (100000) et appliquer l'opération 2x

After you 'inserted those zero's, you deleted them along with the others, so why add them in the first place?

I also got very different hex values after editing my splash and main images, they were not all zero's as in your video.

I see the problem.

You have to use complex image too, so usbdl is greater than usbdl --- ori.

Usbdl must be exactly the same size as ubdl --- ori, that is why you need to add zero and then delete everything that is after the offset 462944.

To resolve your problem using the image easier, or disable the boot splash.


I hope you understood me.

At least he shoud have given credits to Zer0-X for cracking USB-Advance and maybe given credits to Sjeep too :rolleyes

Sorry, I do not know the history of cracked usb advance . If you told me, I will add the credits in the next version.

That's easy to say but not so easy to do (I mean patch, not the re-skin)

[JNABK]

Sorry bro, i didnt mean any disrespect, your work is well appreciated. I only meant that it was a patched version of USB Advance with a new skin and not a whole new app. I know patching is quite and undertaking in itself, so thanks for your hard work on it.

It was actually sjeep (creator of HD Loader and ToxicOS) who cracked it and zero-x who made the utilities for skinning it i believe.

Yes i did use a complex image, but adding those extra zero's as in your tutorial, then deleting them didnt make any sense. Couldnt you just delete from the offset without adding them to the end of the file? Or did i misunderstand where to add those zeros?

I followed the tutorial as shown in the video and it resulted in a black screen. Yes the file size was the same as the --ORI file, but i deleted more than zeros. I'll try the no splash to see if it makes a difference, but i may have to do it my own way if it dont work.

Edit:

Ok using the no splash option allowed it to work, but that kinda defeats the purpose of re-skinning. I'll experiment with it and figure something out.

thank you guys for hacking USBA, for patching it for PS3 and for writing the skinning tutorial and video.

I´ve sucessful patched the v 0.2b (dammed ! it´s the first time i am worry about having a 40 gb PS3 without PS2 support)

New skin really must be very simple because of the filesize...

does any one here tried new open ps2 loader??
