compressed GCI file not working with save exploit

[kjuno]

I tried to use the iplboot_xz.gci according to this instruction, but it does not work. It freezes when the savegame payload is executed. The uncompressed iplboot.gci file works fine.

Compressed DOLs can be problematic sometimes. What version(s) of iplboot can you reproduce this with? And what games? I'm unable to test things on real hardware at the moment.

precompiled iplboot r7 with Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

At some day i tested something with picoboot and tried to use the compressed dol, but the entry point and load address was invalid, could that be the problem?

[9ary]

No, that's just an implementation detail for PicoBoot. I don't recall this being an issue for savegame exploits but I might be wrong, I'll investigate this later.

ok weird, iplboot r6 works fine

[kjuno]

so entry point and load address isnt the case here

Please try r8 as well in this case, that uses the same custom build of dolxz as r6. This should help narrow it down a little.

sorry for that
iplboot r8 works

Hopefully this works with r9. @kjuno would you please test and close this issue if it works?
