With all of the software talent on this board, I am sure this sharing will provide us with a fully hacked version with selections out the wazoo.

I'm not the programmer those here are- can someone post a link or directions on how to recompile the disassembled navboot file posted by Martin.

I have an idea...

A previous poster (Lebowski, post #100) mentioned that language files can be swapped around with relative ease, so making selecting German actually speak British English is a matter of renaming files to "fool" the s/w. However, the menu text screens are still in the original language (German in this example). In the navboot file Martin disassembled, the hex language files seem to contain the relevant text. So my theory is that renaming them, and/or repositioning(?) them within the navboot file would allow the text items in the menus to be reconfigured in the relavent language. In this example, copying the British English file and /or renaming/repositioning(?) it to the German file name/location would retain English text...

Any thoughts?

Editing navboot code

I wanted to ask a similar question to my above post, but coming at it a different way-

I've opened up the navboot file in a hex editor and can locate the text strings which are obviously the various menu items in the different languages. If I simply edit those strings to the desired text and save the modified navboot file, am I good to go? Or am I missing something that will totally screw me up?

Any help/comments etc much appreciated!

I think you will need to fix the CRC of the modified navboot file. There is more information on this in the splash logo thread.

That's one of the things I'm not sure about. I have the following values for the toggle 3d navboot file:
size: (11796040 Bytes)
CRC32 (PKZIP) of file: 1F9B701C
CRC16 (Standard) of file: E92F

After I modify the file, how does one adjust these CRC values?

It's CRC24. Look at the HackTheIbus file section. You get a delphi program there.
The crc isn't for the entire file. It's just for the modules the file consists of.
Read here and you will find out all you need:
