PPC Lessons

[ZionHD]

This is a PDF file Bad Luck Brian made for PowerPC (PPC).

This PDF file is 27 pages long. It's made for modders to understand it and be able to learn somethings from it.
It may be a little bit outdated however the content is still there for reference or however you may use it.


I hope you enjoy it and learn something from it. I heard from some people that Enstone's Mod Menu's are coded in PowerPC.
I'm not entirely to sure on that since I haven't confirmed it for myself, but it would explain some of the functionality of his menus.

Here is the link for the PDF File:

Enstone's menus are written in PPC, but the tool itself from what I have heard from is coded in C#. (According to people who have Reversed Engineered FMT's Tools)
Also BadLuckBrian took down his site, so the link is dead.

Where would you hook all that Assembly? Requires too much memory space.

 

[ZionHD]

I hope you know that you don't inject raw assembly into the PS3's Memory.... You inject compiled code which is readable by the machine, in this case the PS3.

You write the operation codes which the processor reads as powerpc asm..If it dint it would just be a bunch of bytes, its still assembly and has to be hooked. So its the same as writing raw assembly.

 

[ZionHD]

So, what language do you think Enstone's menu are written in then?

 

[ZionHD]

The only answer that would make sense would be PPC because if you close down one of his tools, the menu is still there. It does not disappear like the menu's coded in VB/C#/C++ (Windows Application) which use RPC (Remote Procedure Calls).

 

[Nostafaru]

RPC? lol it has nothing to do with this.... its just a way to call functions with some parameters....And you can still write a menu and call funcs without it.

You can create a thread and hook your menu in there....So closing the application will do nothing because you have created a thread that runs in the process.
