Unrelated, but does any folk know how AAMP compression works? Literally can't find anything on Google, not a decompressor, not even information about the compression method itself.

I need your help with this, Tempers.

Which game? I could take a look at it.

Mario Kart 8 specifically. Take any course's .bgenv file, decompile it with SARCTools, and look for a file with the .baglcube extension. http://mk8.tockdom.com/wiki/List_of_File_Formats

A header's not going to help me that much, but thanks for the effort.

It's hard to believe that they're using a compression other than SARC for directorys, so it has to be a single file. My guess would be that it's some sort of shader format, but without knowing whats in there, it's hard to write a unpacker, if it's even compressed and not just a proprietary format for shaders/textures/whatever.

It's definitely in there, I'm not sure what it is, but if you at least told me what it does, I'll be forever indebted to you.

Umm, SARC is not compressed files...

They're archives, that's true, but some archives also use compression whilst packing.

Still want to know what's up with the AAMP compression. Might have to write a script myself in the worst case.

39 ppl viewing this thread and noone got a word to say?????? weird!!!!!

Moist.

They never do.
Don't doubt me about SARC, I've been dealing with it for a long time.

Oh yeah, they don't. I'm dumb, was thinking of something else. My bad, lol. :/

I would not say that you are completely wrong though.

This tool has the ability to decompress ZLIB compressed SARC files. Although I don't know what game uses ZLIB compressed SARC files though

There are now some public exploits for FW 5.3.2, 5.4.0, 5.5.0, and 5.5.1.

There are now a lot of homebrew apps, a backup loader called loadiine.

You can use cheats with a program called TCP Gecko.

You can now load custom stuff(music, levels, whatever you want) with a program called Cafiine, it uses network to send files to your Wii U.
There is a Riivolution-like version called SDCafiine.

Long story short, you missed a lot of things, and a lot of drama...

Thanks for information

This is indeed lots of new stuff!
Out of curious because I thoght it is very interesting back then - is correct that there is no news on that Linux on vWii -> 3 core thingy by Max-something? (I hope it's even been a "Max" lol, I may be mistaken)
Because using Wii U as kind of media center or computer would have some good side

Is is out, still WIP or dead abandoned? Because I am too silly to find any news on it ...

There are also Yaz0 compressed SARC files.
We're talking about if SARC is some kind of compression, which isn't, so yes he/she's completely wrong.

Don't know if it's relevant, but my Sarc tool I have can extract and Repack the sarc of course.bgenv for environment effects etc

I was the beta tester from Project Trinux, if I not bad remember it was decided to stop development in the altered vWii mode with 3-core support because of a lot of limitations that were hard to supercede like RAM or full GPU support or max clock speed ,etc...
@TeamScriptKiddies know a lot about this since he gave to me some loaders to initialize with Trinux .
The development will start again when Wii U side is fully hacked, since it will be a lot easier to work with it (Applications runs in the GX2 at 550MHz, Full RAM support, Max CPU cache and Clock Speed ,etc...)
