Here you go. I just did a quick test to see if this and the win32 version produced the same output. BTW, it builds as is in gcc if you rename hdlpatch.cpp to hdlpatch.c as g++ requires main to return int.

Nice one.

You guys never cease to amaze us here

A Cocoa port is on its way.

Should there be a php interface too?

I changed

void main

to

int main

and added

return 0;

at the end of main, but still there is something funny:
$ gcc hdlpatch.cpp -o hdlpatch
ld: Undefined symbols:
___gxx_personality_v0



Works fine though, by just removing 'pp' from the file name.

lol, the patch is only one function :-)

Thanks a lot crazyc - I guess I'm going to try compiling it myself then. But thanks for the binary anyways - I had a quick look at the source before you posted this and noticed there was nothing OS-specific about it at all.

HDLoader is almost perfect,
apart from its lack of input from USB keyboard :-(

But that might be too hard to fix?

Making the USB keyboard thing I can do,
but attaching it to the existing code,
I have no clue where to start searching.

Excuse me , I have a question .

In your readme guys , you say :

/S - Stops the cdvd-drive motor if there's any disc in the tray while
HDL/HDA is loading when using methods to boot that involve using disc.
(DO NOT USE if you have a V9-V11 and you're not booting using a disc!)

Now , I have a V9 and I use a PSX game + MC Exploit to make HDLoader booting from MC . should I use this patch?

And , can I patch with more date patches (for example /D1 /D2 at the same time) my executable ? And is /D3 patch reliable ?

Thanks

I always used /D0 and never had problems with any game,
I have GT3 and it runs fine with /D0

Hmm, weird, HDLoader 0.5b runs from launcher.elf,
but not as BOOT.ELF

As I understand it, as you are using a disk to boot i.e. your ps1 disk, you want to apply this switch to stop the drive spinning.

If you had a v9 with a Matrix/DMS etc that allows booting without a disk (i.e. dev mode) in the drive HDLoader will hang when using this switch when a CD/DVD is not present.

I have yet to use a date switch, but can tell that you can only use one of D0,D1,D2 and D3. I am not sure how zero's patch works but I imagine if you used /D2 /D3 for example you would end up with the d3 date patch as the pacther would patch d2 and then patch d3 which would overwrite d2.
