PS5 mask type problem

[ThisRock84]

Hello,

While trying out the new etaHEN 1.8, I noticed that some patches work, while others show this issue: https://imgur.com/a/ihIB8X2

This might be due to illusion0001's new patch format, which uses Type="mask" instead of Type="bytes", but I'm not entirely sure.

All the patch files written as Mask are also problematic for me. Even when I change the mask text to something like AppVer='00.34', the patch still gives an error in the notification saying "waiting for eboot" and doesn't work.

How can I improve or fix this?

Original code
<Metadata Title="God of War Ragnarok"
Name="60 FPS"
Author="illusion"
PatchVer="1.0"
AppVer="mask"
AppElf="eboot.bin">
<PatchList>
<Line Type="mask" Address="e8 ?? ?? ?? ?? 8b 1d ?? ?? ?? ?? 48 8d bd 60 ff ff ff" Value="b800000000"/>
<Line Type="mask" Address="e8 ?? ?? ?? ?? 4c 8b 64 24 20 c5 f8 10 05 ?? ?? ?? ??" Value="b800000000"/>
<Line Type="mask" Address="e8 ?? ?? ?? ?? 8b 05 ?? ?? ?? ?? 89 c1 ff c1 c1 e9 1f 8d 4c 08 01 83 e1 fe f7 d9 8d 44 08 01" Value="b800000000"/>

Hello, yes currently the mask type is not supported however @illusion0001 said he will add support so I'll keep this issue open until it's added

[ThisRock84]

Thank you for your prompt response and for keeping the issue open. I appreciate the information and look forward to the support for the "mask" type being added in the future. Your efforts in improving etaHEN are greatly valued by the community!

In the meantime, I've found a way to convert Type="mask" patches.

I Just noticed, but did you literally just copy & pasted that from a question that I asked awhile back? 0_o
That's definitely my image from FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse.

Absolutely! :) I combined the question you previously asked on Reddit with the work I've been doing, to create a single, comprehensive post for easier reference. The first image is part of your original post, while the others are from my own testing. Thank you for your keen observation, I appreciate the attention to detail!
