Like said in that issue, it seems the limit passed to XamContentCreateEnumerator is actually a limit on how many results XamEnumerate should return per call, not a limit on the number of enumeration items in total.
These changes fix Sonic Unleashed not loading more than 1 DLC (it passes 1 as the limit, but then loops over XamEnumerate to load in each DLC one at a time), and likely many other games.
This was a headache to work out, big thanks to the lack of documentation on .xexp files... a ton of guesswork was involved here but luckily it turned out well.
I did have to make some pretty major changes to the way XEX files are loaded though.
Previously it'd just load everything in one go: XEX headers -> decrypt/decompress data -> load imports/symbols -> set loader data table entries, etc...
Now it's changed to something like this:
- Load base XEX headers + decrypted/decompressed image data, return X_STATUS_PENDING
- In the LoadFromFile call used to load the XEX, search for XEXP patch file (only .xexp in same folder atm)
- If patch exists: load XEXP, decrypt headers/data, apply patch to base XEX, dispose of XEXP
- Finish XEX load via LoadXexContinue() (handles imports/symbols/loader data...)
This saves us from needing to reset the imports/function/symbol stuff after patching (since all the XEX code will be a lot different), but I'm not really sure if I went about it the best way.
Code is mainly just copy/pasted from kernel/util/xex2.cc, I've tried fixing it up to work better in a class, but there's probably some things I missed.
Also includes some minor improvements to the XEX loader, like being able to try both XEX keys (retail/devkit) automatically, and some fixes to how the base address is determined.
(Previously there was code that would get base address from optional header, code that'd get it from xex_security_info, code that'd use a stored base address value...
Now everything reads it from a single stored value instead, which is set either from the xex_security_info, or if it exists from the optional header instead.
Maybe this can help improve compatibility with any weird XEX's that don't have a base address optional header?)
Compressed XEX loader also has some extra checks to make sure the compressed data hash matches what's expected.
Might increase loading times by a fraction, but could save reports from people unknowingly using corrupt XEXs.
(still no checks for non-compressed data though, maybe need to compare data with xex_security_info->ImageHash?)
