EDITING FIRMWARE WITH HEX EDITOR!

[Superboto]

Hey guys, at past times I've used a Hexadecimal Editor to "translate" games of GBC by changing some text strings and edited my CellPhone Firmware to add some cool look on it!

By the way, have you ever tried to edit your MPX firmware on a HEXADECIMAL EDITOR?

It really could be interesting if we discover how to change somethings in the firmware directly, without using S1RES tool!! xD

I belive we could add more games, more "frames" for the animated menus, more fonts, and more and more!

We could also edit completly the menu system, without changing only the pics understand?

Admin, you should be expert on PC matters, so, if you don't mind, could you please work on it?

I'll be doing some researches here and tell you all if I find something! 8)

Take a look at this!
I've found something interesting!
There are some strings relative to the PICTURES OF MPX that are in the
picture below!
I bet we could add some frames here!

Thats a good find hopefully someone could try and find out how to make the mp4 prowse through songs and do to activities at once or even make the mp4 work faster. I have no clue what any of the pic ment though.

Hey ko thats the same mp3 player I have.

The hex thing is great, only I don't know much about hex editing. But we need to find away to display the songs in a list. I think this is a great find because we can really use this. We need someone that knows a whole lot about hex.

Great idea.
Unfort, I'm no programmer So don't know too much about what hacking it with a hex editor....

Hopefully someone else who is reading this might be able????

[Superboto]

I'll see if I find some hex programmer to decode the firmware. And when I have more time, I'll also see if I find something in the FW that can be changed w/ the Hex editor! ^^

If there is some programmer here, please adivise us! =D

Just had a look.
Doesn't look like anyone knows much about it. In actual fact, did you find the replies from that site wasn't very helpful?

[Superboto]

I've seen the forum you showed up gta3dude, but those fellas doesn't really know what's hex compiling.. ¬¬
By the way, any of you have any Hex Editor? If you don't, i could upload mine here! ;D

If this program says there's ALL THESE FILES "compressed" in the firmware, there might be some way of editing each of these separately, getting the Job easier! ;D

Any of you know how to "extract" the files individualy?

As you can see,
GAME.AP | | 29kb | | D4C12A90
Is a file that contain games information. So, if you edit or paste other's FW games here without changing the whole FirmWare, there might be a chance of we, sharing each ones FW, have a whole collection of games and everything else that we want!! =D

We just need to discover how to edit'em separatelly!
