So I wanted to change the save file for Super Smash Bros. Brawl PAL to a new one with the necessary stuff unlocked.
I found it, though it was in this "Decrypted state" and the vwii doesn't like it.
So I downloaded FE100, libeay32 and ran FE100keygrabber, put the necessary info and saved it.
Then I opened FE100, put the directory of the save files in and clicked Pack. And I wouldn't be writing this if it weren't for this error: title id is wrong.
I tried renaming it to all title ids possible, no luck.
Any solutions/better methods? Thanks.

I got WiiXplorer running, I got an FTP server to make things easier, but what do I replace exactly?
nand:/title/{titleid-high}/{titleid-low}/content/*

Make sure to enable write access first in the wiixplorer settings (and not sure if you can do it over ftp)

So I don't know what these title ids are, but it turned out that the site i got the save from put it in the folder name, then I found where there should be smash brawl save data, and there are these two files: content and data, so now what steps do i take?

I found this Savegame manager GX, put in in my homebrew apps, put my smash brawl save in both decrypted and encrypted (i got it converted to decrypted format, but when i put it in sd card in private/wii/title/[title id] it doesnt like it, probably because smash brawl save cant be transferred to sd) format in a "savegames" folder, started savegame manager gx and it doesnt recognize them as saves. I tried renaming it to all sorts of things, but no luck.I have this question: how do i transform that 4 letter title id in a 15 character hexadecimal string? Will it recognize it if the name of the folder is that? If not, how do I change this save data?

Why not backup your current save file to SD (using various methods). Then replace your save(s) with the one you downloaded and u know it will be in the right location.

Alternatively, is there a cheat code u can use to unlock everything? If so, enable it, launch the game and unlock everything, let it save, then disable the cheat.

I can't backup my save to SD, games like Smash Brawl don't let you do that. The cheat code thing seems great, but I never got into them so I don't know how to use them with usb loader gx games. I have also tried this old savegame manager (not gx) though it doesn't read stuf from anything.

There's a Priiloader patch for that! But he was referring to an extracted save from a homebrew save manager...

The same way they work on Gecko OS: you get some code lists in .txt format (can probably be downloaded in your loader, then you can edit on PC if needed), select the codes you want and convert them to .gct (probably also built into your loader), then you enable Ocarina for your game (and experiment with the hook types if needed) and run it

Cheat codes worked BUT there is this glitch that whenever it goes back to the menu (such as wehn you end a match), the wii u crashes and too shut it down I need to take the power cable out. Any solutions?

    @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

    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 :)
