Got my hands on Mario Party 10's other files, it's a pretty simple archive format. Expect a tool to extract and possibly repack in the next week or so (finals week.... >.>).
Here's the format I have down if anyone wants it, took about 40 minutes:

Spoiler

0x00 - PAC. (50 41 43 00)
0x04 - always 0x20 - offset to second header ????
0x08 - 0
0x0C - Offset to GZIP-compressed data
0x10 - seems to be offset to a little bit after end of GZIP (meaning bit of padding) - read until?
0x14 - Total number of folders
0x18 - Total number of files
0x20 - All folders seem to contain same number of files ???? this is same number
0x24-0x34 - padding
0x34 - Offset to Folder Metadata
0x38 - Offset to File Metadata
0x3C - Offset to String section
0x40 - Offset to GZIP-compressed data
0x44-0x80 - padding

Folder Entry: (always starts at 0x80)
0x00 - String Offset
0x04 - Hash?
0x08 - Number of files
0x0C - First file offset (to read forward)

File Entry:
0x00 - String Offset
0x04 - Hash?
0x08 - String Offset to file extension (EG: ".gtx")
0x0C - ???
0x10 - Offset to GZIP compressed section
0x14 - ???
0x18 - GZIP compressed data size
0x1C - GZIP compressed data size again
0x20 - 0
0x24 - 0
0x28 - 1 (number of files?)
0x2C - 0

String section:
Always padded to 0x10, just ASCII with 0x00 seperators, read until you hit one.

full file padded to 0x1000 bytes

I've looked at those files in Mario Party 10 too. From what I had learned, it looks like you've understood that format perfectly. I've already been adding this to Uwizard just as a side project, but your documentation will help it go a lot faster! Thanks!

Um ????
Apparently there are references to Wii Fit Trainer and Villager in the files??? They use Mario's file as a placeholder.

maybe some upcoming dlc or amiibo stuff lol, i hope you someday also take a look at smash4

Any chance of future hacks to enable GameCube controller support on Wii and VC titles on vWii using the Smash adapter?

 

[Antonio Ricardo]

NWPlayer123, can you try check Super Smash Bros U and find something about RYU (stage,songs) and find something new?
On 3DS Version found Ryu and Roy after update 1.06 (stage and songs), try check Wiiu Version.

 

[NWPlayer123]

Already checked, there is nothing.

 

[ShadowOne333]

Who's that mistery Barbeque character?
Some sort of bacon bathed in BBQ?

I will sure pick that player before anyone else!

 

[NWPlayer123]

IDK why it's BBQ internally, but the Japanese is "Villager"

Maybe it's a reference to a character from Monster Hunter Ultimate 3 with the BBQ spit.

A quick question, has anybody looked into the contents of the Splatoon Global Testfire demo software yet?

Nope, no way to dump it, but I'm gonna check once the new Webkit exploit works (we're trying)

Have been manually converting a BRRES model to a BFRES model.
Now off to bed. x_x

May I kindly ask what I am looking at?

Hi everyone,

I have a question,
It's wrote on the first page that it's safe to update to 5.3.2, but it's also wrote that the webkit exploit is patched.
So, I assume there will be some others exploits in the corner?
In fact, I want to update Mario kart 8 for the 200cc, but I think it will update the firmware of the wii u to?

thanks

 

[jammybudga777]

everyone is being told its safe to update and thier is apparantly an upcoming webkit exploit for the latest firmware

 

[boite]

Good news
Thank for the answer

High, considering you're the second person to ask about it It's not out in NA yet is the problem, if it's not out by release then you can probably find someone in Japan with a copy and ask them for it.
