Edit "UI_Install.exe" to split files for a PS2 FAT32 USB HDD #248

Closed BourgeoisDirk closed 2 years ago

BourgeoisDirk commented 2 years ago

Note: not related, but looking for help. I got "UI Install" (exe and cpp source) from https://sksapps.haldrie.com/ps2hd.php The only problem is, it appears to have a bug, it limits the filename length to 31 characters instead of 32. OPL, OPLManager and USbUtil all work fine with 32 chars.

But i cannot for the life of me seem to be able to make a new build with editing the .cpp source file. Neither do I have any luck disassembling it in the attempt to try and change "if (strlen((const char *)argv[3]) > 0x1F)" "0x1F" (31) into a 32.

Help would be welcome

Nevermind, it seems if i force a 32 character game name (which is valid for OPL) that USBUtil falls flat on its face. This because apparently the ul.cfg file has some dumb shit like this: 32 character name in ul.cfg seen as invalid: "Syphon Filter - The Omega Strainul.SCES_520.33   " 31 character name in ul.cfg seen as valid: "Syphon Filter - The Omega Strai ul.SCES_520.33   "

It looks like USBUtil expects it to be 32-characters long, inclusive of the NULL. Being a piece of homebrew software that is also closed-source, USBExtreme's data format was reverse-engineered. So this sort of thing was bound to happen.
