Heya there!

So since a lot of people already dumped the "leaked" US version of Color Splash on various forums (not going to link to one of course) can someone please provide a download (ONLY the fixed files, NOT THE WHOLE GAME!) to fix it for European consoles? Currently it only boots to a white bar at the top, then gives an SD Card Error.

Now, I do not know if it's that easy of course! If there's no way to do such a thing then this thread can be closed again.

Thanks already!

UPDATE:

Here's the fix!

I'm sure Paper Mario: Color Splash isn't the only Wii U game that has text inside it's own binary files that point to the files. There's other Wii U games that have the same issue, it's because LoadliineGX's region free programming is incomplete and needs more work on it to bypass the region lock.

Just wanted to mention I have been working on trying to fix this since last night and I have tried everything still no joy from my end! I have tried to change the app & cos files to eu id I have tried compression on the messages folder I have also changed it from "messages" to "message" and changed it to EU_English I have also changed all USA named files to EU also used Mario Tennis code folder which contains the same files and loads of other technical bits too, no joy at all.

Has anyone tried this??
Seen on another site claiming it works.

To get it booting on EUR consoles, edit this line in your cos.xml
<argstr type="string" length="4096">main.rpx</argstr>
<argstr type="string" length="4096">main.rpx -region USA</argstr>
The point is to force it to USA since most of the files are region tagged, theres a filetable and it's just a mess in there.
The gamepad screen seems scrambled but this seems to be part o the game as playing a bit more it's come to life with buttons and options etc.

Just as I thought, there's a file name table within the .rpx (which we can't see because it's encrypted). But editing the cos.xml to include "-region [regioncode]" fixes the problem and enables LoadliineGX's region free function.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
