Are you sure that is the adress he told you ?
there is readable text just at position  0x4E6A0.

That would make the converted pic just under 10kb

It's hard to say just what exactally he was refering to. He could have ment the postion in the installer bin instead of the dump.

I'll keep looking.

Actually I just had some luck using this program. It outputs two files, a binary and pallet file. What I did as a test is convert the buttons.png to a 8 bit bmp then rant it through that program. I opened the pallet file into my hex editor and found a match in the firmware at 00005200, which is followed by what I believe is the binary, however it did not match up perfectly with my bmp version. Its a start anyway.

Output to "bitmap in character mode (8x8 256)" and I got an exact match. So just need to figure out where the bottom image is really stored and we will be good to go I think.

I can see what looks like the font at the end of the firmware, but no luck for the logo so far (I may have scrambled my reading)

I think I will save us a lot of trouble and e-mail romman to ask if I can have the image that he used for the bottom screen.

[pixelk]

Yes that would really make our task more easyier.
I searched the supercard web but no luck so far.

Or even better his AGB file !

I dont want to sound like a kiss ass, but you guys are awesome if we could get a customizeable bottom screen that would open up all kinds of options. on a side note what is the possability of hiding the file extentions to get a real clean looking interface?

Well all we can really do is hex edit things, we can't change the actual programming. You may want to email your suggestions to Romman. The best we can do is change the graphics and maybe add the missing "t's" on the help page.

Yesss Supercard lite firmware 1.70 working

The menu has changed a little bit, but just the skin. I'm guessing it's looking more like the SCRumble. I'm not noticing anything REALLY special about it though. THDJ is not working lmao

I got to say, what a fantastic job on this project, you clearly have done something brilliant. I was going to buy a G6 Lite, but this got me thinking twice.
If I buy a new Supercard Mini-SD from PSXBox.net, will this hack work with it?
About the BMP2AGB thing, If the program you found outputs the image in the needed format for injection, then why wouldn't you try making(using whatever way you can) an image that is identical to the one on the bottom of the screen in the firmware? That way, it might be easier to find where to inject?

When I applied the 1.70, all of my files and folders were in reverse alphabetical order. D, C, B, A
I never had a problem with 1.63 and Fatsort. I used Fatsort again on my micro sd and my files are still in reverse order. Anybody else have the same problem?

[Mailyfesux]

Yep. im having the same problem also.

btw. firmware dumper does not work. yea. .. not very cool

yes, rename your files to where they have a lot of spaces inbetween the end of the file name and the start of the extension

Example:
note- SCDEV doesn't allow me to place many spaces in a row, so pretend the underscores are spaces

"Children Of Mana___________________.dsq"

don't forget to rename your save files also

"Children Of Mana___________________.sav"

without the quotation marks of course
Thats what i did, and it works. Let me know how it works for you

Well, hard to say, a lot of people with newer Supercards are finding that flashmp does not detect their cards. I am going to see if I can get the source so I can make a way to bypass the check.

As for the image thing, easier said then done. The location of the image should be obvious, as it should be a big block of repeating hex's for all that black (or dark grey) space around logo. But nothing obvious pops out yet.

[jay89]

tryed the spaces and it works! graet idea thunderstrike
