Syati provides C++ headers and symbols for writing custom code injections in Super Mario Galaxy 2. With this, you can write code, compile code, link to existing functions and structures in the game and load the actual changes.
Syati provides C++ headers, symbols and the CustomCode loader. Examples can be found here.
Switching to a module system, so only specific code can be compiled at will.
In order to use this toolkit, you need to prepare some software and skills:
- The CodeWarrior PPC EABI C/C++ Compiler, preferrably application version 4.3.0.172. There is also a free version of that compiler, but you may have to modify the compiler options in the two build scripts.
- A build of the Kamek linker.
- Knowledge of C / C++ / PowerPC.
- Python 3.7 or newer.
Setup is easy. Put the CodeWarrior files (mwcceppc.exe, etc.) in deps/CodeWarrior and the Kamek files in deps/Kamek. Now, try to run the build scripts to check if they recognize the tools.
Provided you have all the requirements set up, building is very easy. To build a binary of your new custom code, run:
python build.py REGION, where REGION is the game's target region to build for.
To build the loader, run this instead:
python buildloader.py REGION, where REGION is, again, the target region to build for.
The following region targets exist:
- PAL: European/Australian releases
- USA: American releases
- JPN: Japanese releases
- TWN: Taiwanese releases
- KOR: Korean releases
The generated XML patches for Riivolution can be found in the bin folder.
