I would be happy just to mute them all together. Any thoughts on how to do that? I would think using a dummy file would crash the game. Also, it sounds like we still don't know where the "voices of the champions" voices are stored anyway

By that do you mean that you turned them off essentially? We could find out if we renamed them to null and saw if the voices still played. If they don't then they might be the right files.

How did you extract the ssarc? I can only extract to here:

I guess maybe I should mention that I did extract the TitleBG_EUen.pack file once before and replaced its contents with the japanese contents (the bars and ssarc) using wiiUzip and it didn't actually change anything.
Check the header with a hex editor. SSARC is Yaz0 compressed SARC, also known as SZS. Uwizard can unpack it, but not repack it properly for this game.

Yeah, it's weird. Since all the regionless files are identical, it would mean one file holds these lines for all languages.

I can see from looking at the hex that it's different. It's strange that when I repacked it before that didn't work though. It still played the English. I'll look into it a bit more later.

The ssarc? Yeah, it's on a region tagged file. I meant everything else, I compared the three releases.

Well, I found out why nothing changed for @speckxz when he switched TitleBG_EUen.pack. The file is actually patched over in the update, but bizarrely, this is only with the EUen and EUnl files. While the unpatched and patched version are the same size, I unpacked them with Uwizard and found with HxD that StaticVoicePack.ssarc was changed in the update. Weird.

Anyway, I unpacked TitleBG_EUen.pack and replaced it with the files from TitleBG_EUde.pack, and then patched them in both the update and base game folders on my Wii U with FTPiiU. However, I was only successful in muting the Champion item voices. I'll try something else with the file. I might just delete the .pack from the update if that doesn't work.

I would love to mute the champion item voices. I use a USA copy though, so are you saying this can only be done with EU version?

edit: also, does the Japanese version of the game have champion item voices? I heard that it doesn't.

No, just the file you need to edit will be in the main data rather than the update data.
Get TitleBG_JPjp.pack and open it with WiiUzip. Export the stuff that's in there and then replace the contents of TitleBG_USen.pack with them. Then copy that over the .pack file on your console.

":\The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild [ALZJ01]\content\Pack\TitleBG_JPja.pack"
It'll be the same for US but called TitleBG_USen.pack

I understand what you mean about copying the files from that one package into the other, but once that is done, where does it go on the nand?

like storage_usb/title/00050000/101C9400/content/pack ? or what

Interesting. I wonder if these lines are actually inside the rpx?

I extracted the 2 files from the JP pack and put them into the EN pack, and the voices are still there. Any idea what I may have done wrong?

ok that worked, thanks!

u know whats weird, is if you ONLY replace the main one, i guess it copies back over from the update folder. cuz i checked it and it went back to the original file size. but i guess if you copy over the file in both folders, then it works fine. cool. thanks again guys!

Couple of questions:

1: If I download the game via jnustool, does that mean I can't use the method from speckz's nice video to patch the files? Is the method in OP's post identical in result?

2: I have a 32 GB Wii U, do I still have to install the game on an USB drive or can I install it directly on the Wii U internal memory?

Excuse me for asking but what is this referring to?
I am checking this thread out to see if people found more on the undubbing process to make it more complete and I am interested in that. But like usually in GBAtemp I am inclined to ask first before just reading whole 15 pages on info that might or might not be there.

Just follow Speckz video, its flawless. And yes you can download with jnustool , and yes you can install to usb OR nand. works both ways.

this will undub everything except for the champion item voices. if you want those undubbed as well, for 100% undub, then follow flappyfalcos instructions from this post, https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...reath-of-the-wild.463642/page-15#post-7205637

that's pretty much it.

Its referring to the file that controls the champion item voices. So once that is done, yes, the game is now completely undubbed. See my last post.
