# CDJ-900NXS firmware patcher Builds a new `C900NXS.UPD` from the official CDJ-900NXS firmware 1.31 with the mods you choose, for the player's own USB update. ```sh python cdj900nxs_patcher.py C900NXS.UPD # choose in a list python cdj900nxs_patcher.py C900NXS.UPD --mods beatjump,cuecolours,hotcuekeys python cdj900nxs_patcher.py C900NXS.UPD --stock # the original, to go back python cdj900nxs_patcher.py --list ``` In the list: **arrow keys** move, **space** ticks or unticks, **a** ticks all or none, **enter** builds, **q** quits. Terminals that cannot pass single keys (Git Bash's mintty, a pipe) get a numbered list instead. The result goes to `out/-/C900NXS.UPD` with a `report.txt` of every check. ## What it guarantees - **Only the original file is accepted**: SHA-256 `e96bca7d1ac983985992a8e5fa7813e1ebf04bef514e0c6cfd0a8375f667f7f9`, and the 1.31 application inside it is checked too. - **Only the main application is replaced.** The boot loader and recovery loader (MAIN's records below flash 0x40000), MAIN's S0 header and S7 entry records, and the DRIV and PANL sections are copied from the original byte for byte. Before anything is written the finished file is read back and checked: every section CRC and S-record checksum; DRIV and PANL equal to the original; MAIN's header equal but for its version label, application-only mode kept; every boot loader and recovery record and byte equal; no record past 0x7E0000; the packed application's checksum; and the application, unpacked the way the boot loader does it, equal to the patched one. - **Labelled 1.32**, so that the player's updater does not skip the update as the version it already has. The application still reports 1.31 (as arnoldasr's builds do). `--stock` gives the original firmware with only that label changed: three bytes differ from the official file (the digit and the section CRC), exactly as arnoldasr's back-to-stock file, which installed on his test player. Checked in the emulator: both the `--stock` file and one with every mod were written into an emulated flash and booted through Pioneer's own boot loader, which unpacked and started them. ## Mods From the emulator checkout `../CDJ900NXSVirtual` (`--repo` for another place): `mods/patch_cdj900nxs.py` and the mods next to it. | mod | what it does | |---|---| | `code` | arnoldasr: BPM with two decimals, two-line phase meter, RGB waveform | | `utility` | arnoldasr: UTILITY > PHASE METER switch (needs `code`) | | `overview` | arnoldasr: overview waveform colour gradient | | `beatjump` | TRACK SEARCH jumps 1/2/4/8 beats, UTILITY > BEAT JUMP | | `cuecolours` | memory cues in their rekordbox colours, hot cues shown | | `hotcuekeys` | UTILITY > HOT CUE KEYS; QUANTIZE short = hot key mode | arnoldasr's mods need his repository checked out in `../CDJ900NXSVirtual/mods/cdj900nxs/upstream` (it has no licence, so it is not copied here); without it they are greyed out. ## Risk Nothing here talks to a player; you copy the file to a FAT32 USB stick and run the update yourself. Our mods have only run in the emulator. Recovery from an application that crashes at start-up has not been tested by anyone. Keep the `--stock` file at hand. ## Tests ```sh CDJ900NXS_UPD=/path/to/C900NXS.UPD python -m pytest test_patcher.py ```
