    ROM Hack [WIP] Working on my own .bcres/CGFX converter script

    Hi, Seems like the environment that I developed the script in originally was very lenient on me not specifying the byteorder in the to_bytes function. I started to get that same error too now. Its fixed now, so go give it a try again :D

    European Citizens Initiative launched against the destruction of videogames, requires one million signatures

    If an old game is less popular, the publisher can probably scale back the servers to a pretty manageable size because of the smaller playerbase than when the game was first launched. Not every game will have ff14 size mmo server at launch, even less decades after release.

    How can I extract/edit message.bin files?

    Can you provide spme extra detail? What game's files is that message.bin from? .bin is a really common extention used by many file formats. Best way to determine what a file is is by opening it in a hex editor and checking what the magic word is (the first few bytes usually). I hope you succeed...

    Hi all! I wanted to share a new script that I just finished writing with all of you. This tool is for converting 'PSLB' files that are found in KIU's romfs (might also be present in other 3DS titles, not sure). These files have a .json extention on them, but are not in fact json files, but a...

    Hi, I'm in fact working on a python script that can convert these PSLB files (false json) into proper readable jsons. I'm making good progress, so I'll probably have the script ready quite soon. I can share the script when its done!

    ROM Hack Kid Icarus: Uprising (KIU) .zrc files successfully cracked open

    Hi all, I wanted to share my progress on cracking open KIU's .zrc files. After a lot of research, I found out that .zrc files are simply .arc (darc) files that have been compressed with the LZ11 algorithm. Here's a comparison of two files found in KIU's romfs: 0.arc and a0.zrc. Notice how both...

    Kid Icarus Uprising false JSON file parsing

    Hi, I'm also interested in modding KIU and specifically cracking open the rom to access the raw assembly code somehow. Any tips on how I could dig deeper into the game's ROM? I've managed to dump the rom using the citra emulator and peeked into the darc files with binwalk, but thats about it. I...
