OK.  I've decrypted vshctrl.prx, and hex edited my custom spoof into it.

The problem is, the last 2 digits i want to change in the firmware string "-3"
(from the string 5.00 M33-3) are only blank spots and hexing them does not seem to change the "-3" in the System version Display in XMB...

So just to be clear (in case I've talked in circles):

I can not change the "-3" in the string "5.00 M33-3" by hex editing vshctrl.prx.
I can alter the characters before and after it...  But never the "-3".

I've also checked version.txt, to see if it was in there, it wasn't...

this is killing me...
I'll give 5 E-Pigs to the first person who can answer  :)

baaaah baaah Super Sheep good show!!!

You can technically change '1' to a A or something and it will progress through the level. e.g 5.00 M33-1 will be 5.00M33-A and 5.00 M33-3 will be 5.00M33-C.

Obviously this patch will be required everytime vshctrl changes.

If you want to change the 1/2/3/4.. to a dynamic value like, A/B/C/D..

goto address 0x000021D0 (in M33-3) and change 0x24440031 to 0x244400RR, where is a hexadecimal value. (0x31 = '1')

If you want to perm change the 1 value, goto 0x000021D0, replace 0x24440031 with 0x240400RR, where RR is a hexadecimal value.

for the '-' goto 0x000021D4 and replace 0x2402002D with 0x240200RR, where RR is a hexadecimal value.

can you explain it more
i don't seem to understand it properly

ok, so far I've opened the vshctrl.prx

and just say i want to change it from saying 5.00 m33-3 to version 5.00

could i change it to that or not

if not lets say i want to change it to 5.00 (without the m33-3)

how would i do it exactly

tried go to address '0x24440031' but it doesn't seem to exist in the vshctrl.prx

thanks

thanks

Well that certainly explains things.
THANKS bro.     This was driving me crazy  :p

I'm actually throwing together an easy spoofer for people who don't like to hex edit...   Then when I couldn't figure all this out on my own, i was like:  "maybe someone should put a n00b proof spoofer together for me  :p   LOL...  LOL"


Anyways, thanks again Super Sheep.
I would have never figured this out.   :)

He is saying "0x24440031" isn't a hex address.  It's a float value  ;)

Go to the address he gave you and check the float values for "0x24440031"  then alter that   ;)

Hmmmm.   This stuff is a little difficult isn't it ?

I'll keep looking it over...  Super sheep:
When you come back online, could you upload a 5.00 M33-3 vshctrl.prx that has been altered to nix the "-3" from the string ??  (So one that just says 5.00 M33)

Thanks again man.
