@leogx9r I do confirm that SublimeText dev build v4118 is working on MacOS M1. I haven't tried SublimeMerge yet, I'm not using it that much but I'll give it a try just out of curiosity. Thank you very much! You're the man!

LE: I do confirm that SublimeMerge dev build v2069 is also working and patched. Thank you again!

@bms8197 For MacOS M1, it looks like both X64 and ARM64 need to be cracked to boot? I read that for the x64 and ARM64 parts of ST (I presume) are actually the same as what @leogx9r gives

@maboloshi ST for Mac uses "universal binary" which contains the applications for x64 and ARM64. Only the ARM64 part must be patched in order to run on Mac M1. But you can patch both if you want.

@leogx9r thanks for your patch. I do hope you still have some time to rest.

@maboloshi I compared the patched ST (from @leogx9r) with the original file and saw that the patch you proposed is correct. The only difference is that his file contains both the patches for x64 and ARM64. So, the patterns I gave you for 4114 still works with 4118.

Then why your patch failed on @bms8197's machine? Because you made a typo when you change your patcher's output to a nanny script. You wrote \x5 instead of \x5F in the patch for license check, and it crashed ST.

You should write patcher like I did. It's harder to make this kind of mistake.

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe I see, I made a very low-level mistake. 😅

@rainbowpigeon new pattern from @leogx9r your patch not working for latest dev build (4117, 4118)

@kepeto Updated :) Test it out and let me know if there are any problems!

@Viterzgir Your MD5 is inconsistent with sublime_text in the official website compression package sublime_text_build_4120_x64.tar.xz. Please help confirm the release

@maboloshi It looks like you changed the patch for Disable License Notify Thread from ret to ret 0, but only for MacOS. What happened on MacOS ?

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe I saw the cracked binary file provided by @leogx9r and I changed it. Probably other platforms are also applicable.

@maboloshi I think it still works the same as before.
When @leogx9r add the patch for Disable License Notify Thread, leogx9r said Simply return 0 here to disable.

If you looked carefully, you'd see I added two additional things, disabling the crash reporter (which sends telemetry back to the server, not something I personally like) and also disabled the "phoning home" method when a new license is entered. The phoning home method can potentially be used to detect you cracking the application (as it'll send invalid info, also containing your unique identifier) and you may get your IP blacklisted, hence I've decided to disable it entirely, I also recommend you guys do too, just in case. If you'd like the patterns for that:

# Sends the HWID, license Information the moment a license is entered to the server for logging.
# Most likely used to detect when a license key is shared across too many systems with differing HWIDs.
# Simply return 0 here to disable.

I asked leogx9r about return values, and the answer is that any value is acceptable, the return value isn't actually used (except the function for license checking)

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe It does have the same effect. The function returns the value of pthread_join() or something similar. I didn't see Sublime Text/Merge use the return value but decided to have it return the proper value anyways for consistency (which upon research seems it required zero so I guess I documented that wrong).

The only function you really need to have a return value is for the license checking function, which requires zero always. The rest are basically optional. The return value isn't actually used (based on my reverse engineering) on the other functions.

Edit: On Windows it returns the value of CreateThread() which requires a non-zero value to indicate success. I originally patched this on Windows so I used the same method for Linux/MacOS -- they instead use pthread which requires a zero value to indicate success, so I guess that's where I got mixed up. So you should ideally return 1 on Windows (or any non-zero value) and 0 on Linux but it doesn't matter really since the value is never used.

Thus, leogx9r uses ret 0 all the time, while you use ret all the time. And it still works fine.

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe Thank you for your answer, next update I will unify for ret

@leogx9r The invalidationFunction rule of ST-4121(linux) has changed, please help to check it.:blush:

@legox9r: Trying on ST 4120 MacOS ARM with these patterns:

0x93242 E0 03 1F AA C0 03 5F D6
0x84C6 1F 20 03 D5

0x937DB C0 03 5F D6
0x92090 C0 03 5F D6
0x2637 C0 03 5F D6

Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong here since it keep saying the file is damaged. From your post, it's my understanding that 4120 for MacOS M1 can be patched in the exact same way as previous versions...

@bms8197 Why use X64 offsetes and ARM64 patch code?

sublime text 4121 Linux md5sum is wrong, but the patch is work well

@maboloshi Apologies for the delay, was quite busy these past few days. Your offsets align with mine so all seems good. 👍

For the record in case people need them, here's the new patterns for Windows/Linux (x64) for the invalidation/validation functions that work on v4121:

    Linux x64 Pattern 1: `direct reference sig: (+0x5) BA ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B B7 ? ? ? ?`
              Pattern 2: `raw sig: E8 ? ? ? ? BF ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 83 25 ? ? ? ? ?`

    Windows x64 Pattern 1: `direct reference sig: (+0x6) 41 B8 ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B 96 ? ? ? ?`
                Pattern 2: `raw sig: E8 ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 4C 89 F1 E8 ? ? ? ?`

MacOS (x64) patterns remain the same.

---

@bms8197 Sorry, when I said "remains the same", I was referring to x64. I don't have my patcher wired up to work on MacOS so I've no idea if the same method would work. I'll see if I can get some free time to do MacOS ARM64 this weekend since it does take much more time to do it manually than automate it as I've done with x64, no promises though -- I'll have to see if I can fit in about 30 minutes.

@bms8197 You can try it:(for 4121)

Does the crack for sublime merge 2063 work?

@cybranker Updated

@maboloshi I do confirm that the patch works for MacOS M1 ARM64 for ST 4121. My bad, I was trying with 4120. You need to sign the app after patching in order to work:
codesign --force --deep --sign - ~/Downloads/Sublime\ Text.app

Thank you!

@bms8197 Can you help to try the ARM64 patch for SM2063. 😊

@maboloshi Applied, it's working. SM 2063 is patched!

@maboloshi Just one quick note for SM2063:

bogdan@iMac ~/D/S/C/MacOS> md5 sublime_merge 
MD5 (sublime_merge) = d578f6d65f9470f84e1d6724277e6820

I believe it will just exit. If you remove the md5 line and apply the patch, it's working just fine.

Hy guys, you can use my file for Sublime Text 4 Build 4121, just download and replace to your Sublime Text folder.
