Coding Questions and other Quandaries

[Hackwiz]

So here is a code for Super Mario Galaxy.

This is how I'm deciphering it

Mario Size Modifier [brkirch]

F6000001 80208030 #Searches for the following (single) line of code (C03E0024 7C7D1B78) in ram address range 0x80200000 -> 80300000
C03E0024 7C7D1B78 #String searched for in ram address range 0x80200000 -> 80300000

I believe this takes care of this part:

Creates an if (so this code requires an endif), then searches for the NN lines of Z values between XXXX0000 and YYYY0000 (or, if XXXX is 8000, between 80003000 and YYYY0000).



As far as the rest of the operation goes, is this done automatically?

To prevent this code from causing game lag, it will only search the first time it is read by the code handler (the result is saved to the code and reused). If the Z values are found, set po to the starting address of the values (SSSSSSSS) and replace the F6 line with F60003NN SSSSSSSS.
If the Z values are not found, then set code execution status to false and replace the F6 line with F60001NN XXXXYYYY.

So I just need to write the appropriate gecko code utilizing the po afterwards and hope for the best?

Also, you said "executed immediate upon boot. So if the string isn't found right away, it simply won't hook."

Is it possible to use a button activator to force it to try re-hooking?


Cool stuff!!!!
