screenshot function broken on Fenix 5 since 23.71 - 24.00 beta

solved

That's a another great finding, and yes it makes the patch easier as editing a byte is easier to remove many of them.

For those interested, i generated executables that will fix corrupted bmp files from the fenix 5s.

One will patch the pointer in 0E to value 6C and the other one will strip the 68 blocks from 54(d)/36(h).

The first one is generated with old Cold Fusion and the second one is generated with Hex Editor Neo (free edition).

BMP Fix for F5S (at least) : https://mega.nz/file/PQtmgQLY#qcEqRkcdFbaQzw0JNBjskk6ZBCRpl7pmaEBHrR5HF4Q (version that edits the pointer in 0E to value 6C as per Former Member indications

BMP Fix 2 for F5S (at least) : https://mega.nz/file/KY0U1aJa#zRTu8EVhe2xao-onDHsarTqZox0cYVfKOG1OIuLxyIk (version that remove the 68 bytes from 54(d)/36(h) as per rinserepeat indications.

I prefer the first one

Please don't blame it on me if your antivirus is complaining, those exe files will patch your BMPs that's for sure. I generated the first patcher with Code Fusion 3.0 (a very old software to be honest) and Hex Editor Neo (Free Edition) (https://www.hhdsoftware.com/) which I don't know 100% how reputable/reliable it is. My Norton did not complain at least.

Ok, after some testings, it looks like removing the 68 extra bytes is better. Indeed, when patching the pointer to 6C, I can't open the resulting BMP image in a photo editor (Paint Shop Pro 2020 for instance) while I can open and edit the file that was stripped blocks hex36 to hex79.

They will both open in MS Paint though!
