New blog post on reverse engineering and modifying HDD firmware. In this part I cover obtaining, analyzing, and modifying firmware, using backdoor commands to hot patch code in RAM, and using JTAG to debug a live HDD https://t.co/9vVt26JHxO

@theHaito Give all thanks to LWSS, I help with the COD4 decomp but all of the main work was done by him 🫡

@theHaito With enough work sure, it would require much cleanup and optimizations. LWSS (and helpers) haven't even gotten amd64 yet alone porting to another arch.

@ArcticBlasts @mjkzys PC with some 360 mixed in if it's similar to the COD4 one

@Theguyflashy Why not 🫡

@GabrieIMR557 I think it's based on 1.0

@Grimdoomer I have it do tedious bullshit like converting one format into another. Like documenting C++ prototypes into JSON, or mass fixing fucked up spacing etc.

@DevteamL I've also seen helping teams that "unit tests" like other software aren't really a thing in games. Like they can be, but almost every one I've helped with don't have super granular tests for most functions or features.

[Ryan M @Grimdoomer]

Here's something I found interesting while working on some 360 stuff. The infamous "30ms ping limit" on system link traffic isn't actually a ping limit, it's a timeout on the console->console key exchange messages. Once the key exchange is complete there's no "ping limit"

There is also a pre-alpha Linux version brewing 👀

I noticed the recent PS5 HEN defeats XOTEXT by just disabling the NPT on all cores. This works, but it comes with a performance tradeoff, without NPT the HV seems to fall back to shadow page tables. Games seem to have 3x slower loads.

@W00fer @DoesItPlay1 I wonder what everyone thinks denuvo does that it affects VRAM 🤔 (hint: it doesn't, it was just variance between runs)

[Silent @__silent_]

I'd like to know what people think Denuvo does that they claim a crack reduces the VRAM usage lol
