PCM Hammer P01 and P59 flash tool v015

[Vampyre]

when ever i compile it with studio it just makes it an installer instead of a nice little stand alone like yours NSFW

Whoah. And here I was, wondering how to create a setup package.
Which version of Visual Studio are you using? I'm still using 2017, but I noticed that 2019 is out (probably has been for a while now).

The error message said that the app couldn't find the kernel.bin file, so I'm guessing that the setup didn't put the kernel in the same directory as PcmHammer.exe. That's just a guess, but it I'm right then you could probably work around it by copying kernel.bin to wherever the exe is located.

Or build the exe in Visual Studio, copy kernel.bin into Apps\PcmHammer\bin\debug and run PcmHammer.exe from that directory.

there was not even a kernel bin in the folder, copied the one from hammer 10 to the folder and got a little more response.

I much prefer the way you distro it now, I can put it on a thumb drive and run it from any of my 5 comps or friends comps

and yeah using 2019

Is there a way in the code to differentiate between the v6 p04 pcm and the p01,p59 so that I can leave the file validation in. I know where the os id Info is stored on p04 and check sum data.

now to figure out the p04 seed/key algo so I dont have to keep changing the code for each pcm

[Vampyre]

How would I change kernel loading to this address TX: 6D 10 F0 36 00 07 F0 FF 98 00
to this address like my other flash program 6D 10 F0 36 80 0A A0 FF 91 5E

To change the kernel load address, you would need to edit,
Kernels/kernel.ld
And multiple places on the C# side, search for "PCMExecute", you'll see the load address, they must match.
I think they are in,
CKernelWriter.cs
CKernalReader.cs

[antus]

Just here would be enough i think. I think the kernel itself should be relocateable. But yeah all references to be sure and recompile kernel. https://github.com/LegacyNsfw/PcmHacks/ ... ter.cs#L83
The kernel is big, it might not fit if you move the start address higher.

[Vampyre]

ok then ill leave it be thanks antus and gampy, any idea why it might not want to load to pcm?

[antus]

I'd say size or address, since its not even accepting the upload. Try sending a smaller file, even just junk to see if you can get it to upload at all to answer this question.

The other way will be to disassemble the OS, and check the logic behind the reject. It'll have the ram range hard coded there somewhere.
