if you use a hex editor i think theres a code in it you have to edit to make it boot in either 50 or 6htz, if you look around i'm sure you could find it

hex editor?
i read something about changing the bin.. but how do i do it?

the images are all nrg nero files.. with cdmage i think i can change them to bin files but what then?..

what hexeditor should i get?
what should i exactly do?

thx in advance... il really need to get all the help possible on this one :)

Use Hedit.

Look for 00E403A000E401A000E4 (60 Hz)
remplace it by 01E403A002E401A003E4 (50 Hz )

u probsbly meant hexedit as i couldnt find a hedit.. i searcehd for that string (but in this format) : 00 00 00 e4 etc as it did not allow everything written together

i opened up the nrg file of confidential mission 60 hz.. but it didnt find anything :(

Look for "00 E4 03 A0 00 E4 01 A0 00 E4".
You wrote twice "00".

i dont get it ... the code u wrote is the same as the above one just with empty spaces between it...

trying it anyways :)

"specific data pattern not found"

this time i tried it with the nrg file of crazy taxi 2

i use the find function in hedit and copied and pasted your string in the hex window .. so in the text window something like this comes out ".ä . ä .ä " if i try to delete that it deletes also the hex code so i think it okay as it changes if i would change the hexcode too...


so i don`t think im retarded or something, maybe its because those files are nero images and not bin?

or because when i insert the games in the dc there comes a crackerlogo first (also flickering in 60hz on my 50hz tv)

so maybe because they have altered the original code of the game and therefore made it not possible running in 50 hz ?

thx for all your help...

Try to have a look directly at 1st_read.bin.
Steve220m
16-09-2002, 04:27
please excuse my question but

what is 1st read bin ?

should i use cdmage to extract from the nrg file the bin ?

"1st_read.bin" is the very first file that your DC reads and executes. Most of the time, it's called "1st_read.bin", but it can be "0winceos.bin" for WinCE games, or something else...

You should be able to see it on a burned CD, or extract it from your image.

tried that too now.. it did not find the 60 hz code but it found the 50 hz code?????


so why does the game then flicker on my 50 hz tv the same way when i set 60 hz in sonic adventure 1 ?

il try to change it now with your 60 hz code.. intresting to see what happens

as supposed it did not work...

so the code u told me to search for and replace, is already replaced with 50 hz... so why does the games flicker then? ...

very strange

thx for your continuos help :)

I don't know.

The code I gave you is the mostly common code for 50 / 60 Hz.

17-09-2002, 13:54
yes :)

was my first move.. it found 2 things to fic somehow in confidential mission but it didnt help inb any way... it fixed 2 50hz bugs or something.... but nada

:(
i might set out some sort of price for fixing my problem lol...

hmm

maybe free penis enlargment manual? :D
or free membership to an adult site? :rolleyes:
or a dc game of choice? :cool:

dunno you choose!

and again thx for helping :)
