Like asked before; is this somehow superior to the SDK method or just the same thing in open source fashion?
I wasted already ton of time repacking a lot of content that in the end did not work, and it made me want to commit sudoku, I would like to know before I dive now.

This tries just to do the same thing the sdk tool is doing.
In allmost all cases the packed data is the problem, not the packer. For example the bootmovie h264 need to be the exact same hash as expected, otherwise the title won't boot

I dunno how, The data works as is on Loadiine, or is straight from NUS without any modification, and just repacked for the region or whatever - I thought repacking also rehashes the whole thing, and don't we also have sigpatches? I mean what point is there to have them, if we still have problems that are at least loosely signature related?

Notice that the code folder dumped with ddd won't work. So almost all "loadiine ready games" won't work. Straight from nus should be fine

I had repacked a patch straight from nus - which did not work. And I really need to know what is different between CODE folder from DDD, or ripped from WUD, or from NUS - they are just about identical decrypted, do they store some secret meta data to their previous encryption or what is there. Given repacking the contents makes new tickets and everything this is weird. I would love a way to circumvent this since biggest things rednand, at least in my opinion, should offer over the sysnand options is fan patched games, out of region games in home menu, and other such features, currently when I repacked quite a few things with SDK, mostly none of these worked. If we have this limitation and it stays, what good is CFW on Wii U gonna really be? Damn near nothing in my opinion.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
