Welp got everything working now and finally can play the patch :D
However, I can't access my DLC content and I did everything I could think of: redownload "aoc" folder and overwrite my current "aoc" folder, use Smash Bros as my launch game, etc. Is it my save? Does Smash bros have to be updated (haven't played it in awhile and know I'm a couple patches behind)? I really have no clue what I'm missing here or am doing wrong, can someone help please? :/

1- You need to have the DLC installed on your console.
2- Your game folder on your sd card needs to look like this (I'm assuming your game is US here, the EU aoc folder ends with 700 instead of 800 I think):

3- You need to have the latest version of loadiine.
4- You need to launch the game using the smash method and enable the DLC slider (the one that appears just before launching the game).

Following those steps your DLC should work.

Ok I have a question:

If I don't own a physical copy of the game nor a digital copy of it, can I still purchase DLC's via eShop and play them via Loadiine?

EDIT: Nevermind. I just read Loadiine's FAQ.

If I want to update using the TMS_patcher.exe, what exactly do I have to do? I have the 'original' folder that the .exe made when I patched to 0.9.1 but I don't know where to put it before clicking "Update."

Thank you.

Cutscene after chap 4 boss also doesn't have any subs, the Maho Detective show premiere scene. Not sure if you need the save because it requires fighting the boss to see it. Scene is at 1 hour mark:

Thank you.

The update function will prompt you to select your original folder, as long as you download the xdelta folder from the mega again, it will be fine.

I'll fix that right away, thanks for reporting it.

Like last time, I'll wait for a few more to crop up, and then upload a new patch, or wait a day or so.


UPDATE:

Version 0.9.3 will be releasing fully soon, in about an hour or so. For now, if you patch your game with the latest file, it will fix an accidentaly regression with some text and display Version 0.9.3, whoever this will not fix TVs displaying censored costumes.

0.9.3's Full(-ish) Changelog:
  • Fixed many message spacing issues
  • Fixed CGI cutscene crashes
  • Fixed more un-subtitled in-game cutscenes
  • Fixed the Movie Set dungeon displaying Japanese direction signs
What files will need to be updated: pack_000_map, pack_030_etc, pack_031_message, pack_050_movie, pack_999_lua.

We will update you when everything is finalised for this release.

Does this mean I don't need to use a clean copy of the game with all the original files, and instead, just straight up update my game that I already patched before as long as I have the latest patches?

As long as you keep your original folder somewhere, then yes.
I would still reccomend a clean patching personally, it's basically the same process.

Do not patch files that have already been patched. I did that and the game wouldn't boot up in loadiine. It could have been a bad patch though, who knows.

I do have a question. Is it alright for some of patched files to be slightly bigger than the original? When I patched the pack_031_message.cpk, it was about a little bit more than one megabyte.

Yes, we add things to the message file, so it being bigger isn't really that much of a deal.
pack_999_lua.cpk will also be bigger by about 10mb due to an unknown issue, not that big of a deal in my opinion here.

Also, we aren't talking about already patched files, but a new feature of the patcher utility.

It was probably a bad patch then. I was updating one of the big files (the movie one I believe), left the computer on idle for an hour and came back with it off. I could have had a minor power outage while the patch was still going on and screwed everything up.

Hi. :)

I used the whole morning to dump and patch everything and get this thing to work and right now I'm stuck.

I can get it to load and to start. The Menu says 0.9.3 but if i start a new game, it freezes every time in the very first cutscene at this point:

Any ideas?

EDIT: Seems like this is right after the first movie, if i skip the first movie im on that screen and "boom", stuck. Have to restart the Wii U.

EDIT 2: If i hammer on the skip button i found out this is the second movie in the game, i can skip it too and after that it works. But have to go now, skipped the third movie and was in the game, could run around but for more i have to test it later again.

Is the second movie the first movie that you modded? Did i something wrong in the patching process?

The movie file has giving us troubles when making the patch file, but that opening scene with the newspaper is the first edited one, which we tested and worked, but I think the patched creation maybe have broken some things.
