No More Heroes (U) PAL fix hack

[grant666uk]

Well just back from work and my copy had downloaded. Ran the PPf patch and its working perfect. Going to keep a hold of the Iso just incase someone gets it working in 480p.

EDIT : support of 480p already (full reactivity !) : http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=765...t&p=1014278

problem is we don't know how to work it or use it, i've tried asking them how but get ignored, i'm happy with 60hertz anyway.

1. Open the ISO with Tricha
2. Extract main.dol from second partition
3. Drag on the main.dol in the executable of Wii Video Mode Changer
4. DOS terminal appear and ask you to choose video type you want
5. For 480p, choose PAL60 progressive then Enter (EDITED, option number wasn't correct)
6. Replace the modified main.dol on the iso
7. Sign in the partition
8. Burn and enjoy

It worked for me, thanks again to community !

Just for my fellow germans: The game runs perfectly fine even if your console is set to german (game is completely english though...)

 

[shonosuke]

wow this game is quite horrible and very repetive
And the bosses arent hard but cheap

Can anyone confirm this allows the game to run perfectly in 480p (widescreen too) in conjunction with the PPF PAL patch before I waste a DVD-R?

 

[shonosuke]

480p doesnt work for me but 60hz (480i) does work

 

[Skyzoboy]

480p doesnt work for me but 60hz (480i) does work

With PPF patch then video changer ?

For my part, I take the original ISO (when I modify iso, I backup it) ... not trimmed by wiiscrubbler too !

Widescreen 480p and ... in French (sub) !

 

[shonosuke]

yea this game supports french subs if you have french as system language because its also released in canada(quebec were they mainly speak frency)

A game worth playing is a game worth buying

Isn't that a Fairlight quote?

please don't waste blank dvdr's there is no 480p support with this hack or any other hack, i select 480p by default on my Wii and just got a blank screen, game wouldn't even load.

Ya runs fine in 480i but 480p seems to be a no-go at least for me.

1. Open the ISO with Trucha
2. Extract main.dol from second partition (leave Trucha open for later)
3. Drag and drop the extracted main.dol over the executable of Wii Video Mode Changer (wii-vmc.exe)
4. DOS terminal appears and asks you to choose the video type you want
5. For 480p, choose "PAL60 Progressive" than Enter
6. Replace the modified main.dol with Trucha
7. Right click and Trucha Sign both partitions
8. Burn and enjoy

These instructions worked for me too, the only difference being that I used Video Mode Changer 1.0 and the option I selected was 3. (PAL60 Progressive)
Now I don't really have a way of confirming 100% that it's 480p because my TV doesn't say what mode the component is running on, but it looks pretty good to me, and it's widescreen.

Note to avoid any confusion: I didn't use any PPF patch, only did the above instructions (modified them a bit to make them clearer).

OK, here is a step by step tutorial on obtaining Trucha Signer and modifying the No More Heroes USA iso to work on PAL with 480p:

1. Download Trucha Signer from here
2. Extract the rar file into a new folder, open that folder, double-click on wiikeyset.reg, click Yes then OK
3. Double-click on trucha.exe
4. Click "Select KeySet" in the menu and then click "Custom KeySet 1"
5. Click "Image" -> "Open ISO"
6. Navigate and find the ISO file and click Open (this is only tested with a clean/non-scrubbed iso from release #0522)
7. It should say "Image opened successfully". Click OK
8. Double-click on DISC (RNHE41) then on PARTITION (RNHE41) - the second one, then on SYSFILES
9. Right click on "main.dol" and click "Extract to file", select Desktop and click OK
10. Download Wii Video Mode Changer 1.0 from here
11. Extract wii-vmc_1.0.zip to a folder somewhere, open that folder
12. Now find "main.dol" on your desktop, grab it with the mouse and drag it over the wii-vmc.exe icon in the folder from the previous step
13. A DOS box will popup, type in 3 (The option you want is PAL60 (progressive) (PAL 480p), if you want another video mode then type in that number)
14. After the DOS box closes, restore the Trucha Signer window that you minimized earlier, right click again on the same "main.dol" file and click "Replace"
15. Navigate to your Desktop, click the "main.dol" file and click Open
16. Right click on PARTITION (RELSAB) and click "Trucha Sign It!"
17. Right click on PARTITION (RNHE41) and click "Trucha Sign It!"
18. Close Trucha Signer and patch your ISO with RegionFrii to PAL region
18. That's it, you're done! Burn your ISO file with your favorite burning program (I use ImgBurn) and enjoy this excellent game.

It can't get any simpler than that folks...

Ya did that except i didnt signed the 2nd partition, whats the use of that ? and since wiikey pachtes on the fly i never used regionfree, but ill give it a try

at least my RW discs paying off now ^^

 

[Audioboxer]

You only need to re-sign the partition you edit!

For all these games it's the second partition you extract the main.dol from, so it's the second partition you need to re-sign.

NVM thx Audioboxer
