Nice work!

Can you add a feature for the user to use a txt file instead of a GCT?

RE: GeckoLoader - Wii/GCN Code loader! - JoshuaMK - 04-12-2020

That could be done for sure, maybe in the next week or two, as I have lots of stuff I'm working on

Does this work with texture loading?

RE: GeckoLoader - Wii/GCN Code loader! - JoshuaMK - 04-13-2020

Well, what kind of texture loading are you describing? Simply loading from the disc, or something more specfic?

If i have an already patched DOL, is there be a way to repatch it with a different GCT or do i have to get another clean DOL?

RE: GeckoLoader - Wii/GCN Code loader! - JoshuaMK - 04-13-2020

This will put your patched DOL in the folder ./BUILD/ as is described in the README.md. This leaves your original clean DOL file where it still was, in the current directory. This means you can keep patching using the same DOL file with ease.

As for an already patched DOL, the effects will vary. This is designed to find usable sections, so an already patched DOL like one from WSTRT is not an issue. The problem lies in the fact that this will inherently disable mods like LE-CODE, or CT-CODE, since they also hijack the main.dol in a similar manner as this. But this is a MKW specific issue, and not an across the board thing.

Lastly, if you have certain values changed in the main.dol, like instruction swaps, this is fine for GeckoLoader.

RE: GeckoLoader - Wii/GCN Code loader! - Vega - 04-16-2020

Off-topic, but now that are learning C, have you thought about doing any HBC apps?

RE: GeckoLoader - Wii/GCN Code loader! - JoshuaMK - 04-16-2020

Yes, but I am not dedicating myself to any HBC development right now, as I have other projects in the works, and my time is quite short on a per day basis Tongue

GeckoLoader v2.0.2 is out!

  1. It is now a command line tool, a lot like WSZST. (It must be run in its local directory as .\GeckoLoader.exe in cmd)
  2. It can now parse Ocarina Manager formatted gecko txt files. It does this automatically based on the file extension.
  3. It now prints colored info text, which can be modified by the --verbosity option (-v), or the --quiet option (-q)
  4. The codehandler now uses the full one I created the other day, meaning all codetypes have support
  5. The GeckoLoader has been slightly refactored, for faster code in game, and a more readable experience for programmers
