wstrt port

The command expects a list of keywords or hex numbers. Keywords are PAL (default), USA, JAPAN, KOREA, or any abbreviation of them. They select the region for the following addresses. The hex numbers (with or without 0x prefix) are interpreted as addresses. If an address begins with m, M, s or S, then it is interpreted as a file offset for main.dol or staticr.rel. If the number begins with a point (.), then it is interpreted as a cheat code. In this case, the lowest 25 bits are interpreted as address and the highest 7 bits are saved and used for the address output. All addresses are ported to all other regions. The result is printed as colorized table.

Options
Option Param Description
--port-db file Load the specified update file and replace the internal porting database. If not set, then file port-db.bin is searched in the share path.
--order pujk The parameter is scanned for the first appearance of letters P (for PAL), U (USA), J (JAPAN) and K (KOREA) to define the order of the output. Case is ignored. Missing letters are added automatically. The default is 'PUJK'.
-0 --no-0x Suppress 0x prefix of hex numbers. This is the default for cheat codes.
-U --upper Print digits A-F of hex numbers in upper case. This is the default for cheat codes.
-H --no-header Suppress the table header and footer and output exactly 1 line for each specified address. This makes the output more machine-readable.
-B --brief Same as --no-header.
-l --long Print file offsets too.

3.   Description

The command expects a list of keywords and addresses in hexadecimal notation with or without 0x prefix.

Keywords are PAL, USA, JAPAN, KOREA, or any abbreviation of them. The case of the keywords is not relevant. They select the region for the next numeric input values. The region can be changed in the middle of the command line. If the region is not specified, PAL is used.

The hex numbers are interpreted as addresses of the active region. If the number begins with M or m, then it is interpreted as an offset for file main.dol. If the number begins with S or s, then it is interpreted as an offset for file staticr.rel. If the number begins with a point (.), then it is interpreted as a cheat code. In this case, the lowest 25 bits are interpreted as address and the highest 7 bits are saved and used for the address output. If a number with exactly 6 digits and without the 0x prefix is entered, the value 0x80000000 is added. This makes it easier to check cheat codes, where often only 6 digits are used for the address. Finally, an attempt is made to port the address.

In addition, a single minus sign is accepted to display a separating line.

The result is output as a human and machine readable table. Option --no-header (short: -H) improves machine-readability. Option --no-0x (short: -0) suppresses the output of the 0x prefix. Option --upper (short: -U) forces upper case letters in hex numbers. Cheat codes are always printed in upper case and without 0x prefix. If option --long (short: -l) is set, the file offsets are printed too.

The porting is based on an internal table with about 1720 records and the lookup is done by a binary search. Therefore the calculations are very quick.

The table was generated using the following sources:

  1. Analysis of all 4 main.dol files and of all 4 staticr.rel files.
  2. Well known and verified portings used by Wiimmfi and LE-CODE.
  3. Other collected well known and verified portings (e.g. from cheat codes).
  4. Results of MrBeans porting tool.

4.   Database Updates: --port-db file

Load the specified update file and replace the internal porting database. If not set, then file port-db.bin is searched in the share path.
It is possible to use an update file that replaces the internal porting database. Option --port-db=file defines the path to the update file.

If option --port-db is not set, then file port-db.bin is searched in the share path. Use wstrt port -vv to find the path.
