Another Loader - Hook Boot v0.10
greg | July 20, 2005
A new loader has been released - HOOK BOOT v0.10 - this one has a few different features from most.
Directly from the included readme:
API HOOK monitor & API emulation.
– what is HOOK BOOT ?
It patches BOOT.BIN, and it can hook any API.
1.API monitoring to output DISPLAY or FILE.
To analyze API argument and how to use it.
The place of log file is “ms0:/LOG.txt”
2.UMD emulation.
It can boot some game from MS, for save battery and fast access.
3.Information on the import function can be known.
To analyze.
– TECHNOLOGY
It is SYSTEM CALL hook with before load patch and after load patch.
1. before load
The target NID are removed from the file, and filled up in the ENTRY point.
2. after load
The entry points are searched with NID in memory and hook it.
– LIMITATION
1.Now supported non-encrypted ELF only.
2.Now supported single module only,sub modules can’t hook.
3.The UMD emulation is still developing,not a perfect.
– How to use
1.copy the PSP ELF to ‘ms0:/PSP_GAME/SYSDIR/BOOT.BIN’.
2.copy the HOOK BOOT to ‘ms0:/PSP/GAME/xxxx/EBOOT.BIN’ (for PSP Ver.1.00).
3.execute ‘HOOK BOOT’ from PSP.
– UMD emulation
1.path is changed from ‘disc0′ to ‘fatms0:’ dynamically.
2.loadable KernelModule from MS.
3.emulate the UMD Drive condition.
– FUTURE PLAN
1.A free file name replacement.
The change of the game directory name.
The share of the movie and sound file to make it the smallest.
2.Only dynamic hook.(hope)
If SYSTEM CALL can be replaced or hooked in kernel,
limitation 1 and 2 can be removed.
– Compatibile list
