Instructions for patching firmware 4.33.19759 - Page 6

DNSB · 08-15-2024, 10:14 PM

The patches for 4.38.23038 have not been officially released yet since some of them are a major rewrite. That being said, there are 4 patches listed in this message that did not work. I believe that this thread has several base address changes that will are needed for some patches to work: Update patches from previous kobopatch?.

Yeah, sorry about the delay. I'm getting to it as soon as I have enough time; I've been very busy with work and other stuff recently, and there's a lot more to do for the Kobo stuff due to the changes in other areas.

What patches do not work with 4.38.23038? All the patches I apply now work thanks to the offset changes.

Thanks for the info on the patches I’ll probably wait until they’re released. I’m patched for the version I’m on and I’m not having issues with that firmware so no pressing need to update

I did update both my Kobos and installed the patches; I use over 20 of them and all of those work just fine. I don't use the four patches listed here as not working, so I have no information to offer as to whether the new adjustments helped.

"Increase size of kepub chapter progress chart" is not working for me in 4.39.23027, even with the change of base address. "Don't uppercase..." is working for me.

But what's not working with 4.38.23028?

Sorry, you're right, it shouldn't have been an answer to your question.

I dread version 5 if it's anything like the Tolino firmware.
