Root Thalamus' Custom Hboot Tool

I think it was Hadron who found this, but I couldn't find the post or link to it. So after a bit of searching I found it and thought I'd try it out.

Dan's already created a custom HBoot for his ROM in WINE using it. Happily it also worked for me on Win7 (x64) - just successfully created custom hboot for Oxygen 2.2.1 (sys @ 102MB, cache @ 5MB) to give myself 5MB of 'headroom' rather than the pretty tight fit using AlphaRev Oxy r2.

Thought I'd post the link again here as it might be useful to add to the Toolbox:

_thalamus Hacking: Custom HBOOTS…update…

(Note: link is to thalamus' blog post so that folk read and understand the risks/caveats first ;).)

Also, 'cos I like to check these things I wanted to do a check on the new img hexdump but didn't have a hex editor installed.
Found Tiny Hexer - a nice simple one with easy to use compare function, and checked a test hboot matching one of the AlphaRev hboots first to make sure img generation was 100%.

Edit: didn't see there's already a hex editor link in the Toolbox
