[Samiiya]

So Dotemu couldn't do this so I did:

Code: [Select]

FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2CB2 - add byte ptr [esi+08],00
FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2CB8 - add byte ptr [esi+08],00
FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2D17 - add byte ptr [esi+0C],00
FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2D1D - add byte ptr [esi+0C],00
FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2D6D - add byte ptr [esi+0C],00
FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2D73 - add byte ptr [esi+0C],00
FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2DC5 - add byte ptr [esi+0C],00
FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2DCB - add byte ptr [esi+0C],00
FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2E1B - add byte ptr [esi+0C],00
FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2E21 - add byte ptr [esi+0C],00
FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2E6F - add byte ptr [esi+04],00
FFVIII_EFIGS.dll+8A2E75 - add byte ptr [esi+04],00

change 4th byte on those pointers to 0

Im sorry for asking like this but can you upload the file is already patched for Remastered version? I dont know anything about patcher or coder, i really dont know how to do like what you say Completely blind ... Thank you so much anyway ^^

[ERAISERZEE]

please you can make a more detailed guide on how to apply it to the 2019 version. because I have been trying for 2 days but I don't know how to do it with this version, it is hellish for me and it was much easier with the 2013 version. I'm going crazy

and can you explain to me how to install ASLR?

[Maki]

Hey, post an email so I will send the DLL to you (can't attach it here). I will prepare the DLPB tools patch soon and it's respective instructions.

About ASLR- This is not something you install. It's part of ... let's say a "Windows instruction" to "generate" new address every time you open application to protect it from such real-time modifications (roughly and quite unprofessionally saying)- but don't worry, that won't be needed (you can patch the EXE without disabling ASLR)

done. thank you
I sent you emails

Fabulous work, Maki. Would it be possible to make an IPS patch or something of the sort to apply to the DLL file? That way, a hex editor wouldn't be necessary.

[Maki]

Sent!
@rotschleim - yeah IPS patch could work, good idea!

Could I also get the .dll and/or more detailed instructions on how to apply this fix? The bad mapping is driving me nuts but unfortunately I'm not understanding the instructions on the first post.

Thanks for updating this Maki, I got it working on the remaster by editing FFVIII_EFIGS.dll following your notes.

I created a web based patcher, for others to use (it uses Bemani patcher to patch the dll in your browser).

FF8 DLL Patcher

I hope it helps.

This was a big help, I was trying to get it to patch the manual way but had trouble. This web browser worked great! thank you for this wonderful tool.

[Lightning]

I am glad it helped, thanks for letting me know both of you. I will keep the patcher hosted there (hopefully) permanently.

[Maki]

If you could credit me please too I'd be thankful.

Yes of course. I have added credits to the top of the page. Also I don't mind if anyone else wants to host the code or share the link.

Thank you Maki for your hard work and always doing such a great service for research and progression along with everyone else. And thanks for this wonderful patch.
