Hacking Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE restoration

[MassiveRican]

Am I able to d/load the update and DLC for this game since I'll be USB Loading and not using Loadiine or will this break the game/patch?

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I tried patching the game, and when i used the patch checker, it said all errors even though i did patch it, i saw the program do everything and it closed after it was done.

can I download this patcher, run it on my loadiine ready files on my computer, then put them on my sd card and run the game just fine? it says in the OP not to patch on your sdcard, but does this mean to never run this version of the game off anything but usb harddrive or internal nand? or does it simply mean, move the game from the sdcard to your computer, patch, move it back, run it off the sdcard?

Is saying to move the files to the PC storage before patching, not to patch from SD card as in

• Insert sd card
• Use patcher

It wants the files on internal storage of pc before patching, just move them to the folder where the patcher is and then use the patch, copy the files back to sd and play it.

thanks for clarifying, i just wanted to be sure. downloading now.

We strongly recommend applying the patch to files located on your hard drive to speed up the patching process.
Please do not apply the patch to a game on your SD card, this can cause space and speed issue and cause corruption of your game files.

 

[namad]

can I safely delete "Tokyo Mirrage Sessions # FE [ASEP01]\content\Pack\original" ?
The game is 21gb now because it seems to include the originals files and the patched version both? but after the patch has worked I can delete the originals right? (and by delete I mean leave a backup of them on my computer but not waste sdcard space on both the patched and unpatched files? or does the way the patch works mean I'll need both sets?


edit: dumb question, yes, of course I can.

Does updating the game with the v16 patch break the restoration in any way?

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Does updating the game with the v16 patch break the restoration in any way?

No, it does not. The files that the patcher targets are game files found on disc or from game downloads, so updates won't do anything to make it break.

i installed the restored game in usb storage with wup installer, does installing the dlc break the restoration? I think i read somewhere that in xenoblade chronicles the dlc breaks the undub or something like that, thats why im wondering if the same happens with this restoration

In XCX the DLC is just the HDD files for faster loading. So it's completely worthless.
To my knowledge, the patch for XCX is fine with the uncensor.

Hey question. I'm using the green tick to verify the patching but I get nothing but errors. However, it did take a long time to patch and it gave me the "Everything is done!!" message.
Should I just ignore it?

I think after hours/days wasted because of a slightly damaged sd card that led to wupinstaller refusing to install unsigned content from NUSPacker I found something interesting.
As there was no approach to boot this patched game after installing it to usb without sigpatching and it therefore wasn't as Brazilian as I liked I decided to get it working again.

(0. Only for this patch, if you just replace files for an undub be sure moving the files on your PC worked flawlessly: Verify that your game is correctly patched.)

1. Pack it with NUSPacker and install it with wupinstaller after starting a CFW.

2. After you dumped your console tickets with tik2sd the keys.txt says were the bucket-file (later called tik-bucket) for titles including the titleid of the game (in my case TMS) is stored.

3. Then you start the encrypted download for this game with JNUSTool and cancel it right After it started to just get the .tmd file, you can also just download the tmd from ccs.cdn.wup.shop.nintendo.net/ccs/download/[titleid]/tmd directly.

Then download, edit and replace some files via the hex-editor of your choice and wupclient, but you can also use ftpiiu, just be sure you have
4. Run a cfw prior to this, or you won't be able to access these directories.

5. Now search for the directory-name/file-name of the tik-bucket in the keys.txt file, there are two cases how to proceed:

6.a If the tik-bucket mentioned in the keys.txt only contains one titleid:
{Replace the /vol/system_slc/rights/ticket/apps/[idx]/tik-bucket file with the one from the disc ticket also obtained via tik2sd and rename it to the exact same name as tik-bucket of course.}

6.b If the tik-bucket mentioned in the keys.txt contains more than one titleid:
{Download the tik-bucket to your PC via ftpiiu or wupclient.
Open that file in the hex-editor of your choice, HxD on Windows or Bless on Linux are recommended.
Also open the disc-ticket in the same hex-editor and copy the whole content of it (length of 0x350)
Then select a length of 0x350 in the tik-bucket starting at the offset mentioned in the keys.txt and paste the content of the disc-ticket there.
Compare the original size of the original tik-bucket of the new tik-bucket to be sure that the file size didn't change.
If it matches, replace the /vol/system_slc/rights/ticket/apps/[idx]/tik-bucket file with the newly created one.}

7. Then replace the title.tmd file stored under /vol/storage_usb/usr/title/00050000/[titleid]/code/title.tmd with the downloaded one and that was it.

No need for any sigpatching and you can still boot your game via brazilian method (as long as only the content folder was changed which is the case here).
And the most important thing: No slow uploads of large files via wupclient(~500KB/s with sd->usb)/ftpiiu(~140KB/s), just two small files.
There is currently no faster way than from sd to usb and this only via wupinstaller, so please don't waste ~20 hours with ftpiiu or ~8 hours with wupclient (with wiiu_sd ->wiiu_usb).

Maybe one can also replace the files directly in the install directory but the differing encryption key could be a problem, didn't try it though.

I'm trying to do the same thing with SSB DLC. This game in question has tons of DLC, but AFAIK they share the same title key. I have one legit DLC and so, the legit ticket (for Mewtwo).

I copied my ticket to PC and unistall the DLC. Then I installed the all the DLC with a fake ticket downloaded with WiiU USB helper. The game shows all fighter in CFW, it's on. Then using ftpiiu I deleted the fake ticket in the system and paste my legit, but after start the game it only shows mewtwo, even with all DLC content installed!

Do you have any tips about how can I have all fighters without have to use CFW or AOCPacher? I think it's possible because I have a legit tcket.

@raphamotta DLC is offered on eShop->ticket generated specific for users->no valid, user-independent ticket as discs have them->not usable without signature patches (or you buy it).

I just edited the ticket with HxD with the legit ticket coming before the fake one and worked! Thanks anyway your tutorial helped a lot

Can I just put the game in my computer and apply the patch to the physical game itself?

 

[Celeadyne]

I'd just like some clarification if it's possible to install the patched version to my external storage with something like WUP or will I need to run the game from loadiine every time I want to play??

EDIT: I've got a WUP version compiled now but I'm having trouble activating the DLC, if I re-install the DLC will it remove the patch?

both the game and DLC needs to be on the same externaldrive. DLC wont activate being on the Wii U internal

Dude, envelopes is the proper spelling.

 

[Sn0wCrack]

Dude, envelopes is the proper spelling.

While the root of envelope is envelop, it's not the same word, while an envelope is used as something to send a letter in, it's also used to describe something that surrounds something else, meaning it is a noun.
Envelop however is a verb and is used to describe the action of something surrounding something else, which is the case in the translation.
