ELF2VKP

This program:

  1. Converts each .elf section into a V-Klay patch string.

  2. Add old patch data if a fullflash path is specified.

The main reason for the existence of this program is that the sources of the old elf2vkp.exe have been lost.

DOWNLOAD

  • Windows: download .exe in Releases.
  • ArchLinux: yay -S elf2vkp-git
  • Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora/OpenSUSE repository
  • Old Ubuntu/Debian: download .deb in Releases.
  • Build from sources: 
     # Ubuntu/Debian
 fakeroot debian/rules binary

 # OSX/Linux/Unix
 mkdir build
 cd build
 cmake ..
 make -j$(nproc)
