Not to be confused with Preloader/hacks.

Intro to the hash hacks

The hash hacks method is a method of applying hacks only available in Priiloader 0.6 or above that works by specifying the location with a sequence of ints to search for in the hash field. It has its pros and cons over the Preloader method, where the patch location is specified by a base address in the offset field. These are:

Pros

  • The hacks will work on any region
  • 1 hack is possible to run on a wide range of System Menu versions

Cons

  • More complicated
  • More writing work
