When injecting the Not64 forwarder, can you tell it to only play one game, just like with Dolphin for Gamecube games? And where do you put the forwarder and rom file? Thanks in advance :)

Is anyone having problems with some Wii conversions, where the WUP installation package gets heavier than the game? I'm trying to convert Muramasa The Demon Blade and the installation package is 5 GB, and the game weighs 600 MB. I tried with three different ISOs and none worked. I also tried to do the conversion using WBFS and it did not work again.

Make sure that at the conversion time, you have put some special character in the game name as "&" for example. When this problem occurs to me, it is precisely because of this. If converting a game "Pokémon" for example, the name of the game at the time of converting has to be written "Pokemon".

can someone help me? when i try to load the WiiVC Injector Script it tells me that the requirements aren't met but i have all of the images, the sound effect and the game so coud someone please tell me what is wrong?
I don't remember if I replied to this or not, Download the latest version of the script and try again, you are using a pretty old version.

Edit: Also make sure that "Hide extensions for known file types" is turned off in File Explorer.

Hello KhaderWelaye, man this has worked amazingly well. I have 1 question, is it possible to edit files that are already in installable format. Lets say 1 game has ugly artwork, is it possible to edit 1 of those files to change the icon and background?

Please post the logs for the failed conversion.

It is not that the conversion is failing, but that it is converting the file to an abnormal size. Muramasa weighs 600 MB in the WBFS format and when it is converted to the WUP installation package the game gets 5 GB in size, even going as big as a standard Wii ISO.

Privately messaging people pre-built titles which contain copyrighted files is the same thing. Don't argue this here, message a moderator if you have questions.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
