Yeah, I've almost packed Paper Mario, but it doesn't seem to be including all the .apps... The resulting .WAD is only 9 megs big.
you must include all the apps, from 000000000.app to 00000000XX.app with no skips

Lot's of bricks will result in using this tool. It's not making WADs correctly, and may result in a brick.
You have all been warned.


Let the experts do this type of things for you.

QFT. I just let the masses / couple of people with a lot more knowledge of the file structures than I do this kind of stuff, then follow the instructions they put that work for them. Sure, it doesn't contribute any, but it contributes a heck of a lot more than "wut is root of SD?"

(For the record, I do know what a root of a directory structure is.)

I think we should all cool our jets for a while because it seems that none of the official games can be packed correctly due to some weird ticket error. Only the ones released by BlaZe and homebrew channels seem to work right.

Someone should download the Opera dump by Walmart. It includes 3 VC Games, Check Mii Out Channel, Opera Channel and the Everybody Votes Channel.

If anyone could get these working...

for all I know my fs dump is wrong, most of my vc dumps jump from 00000001.APP to 00000005.APP in their respective title directory, and I'm filling in 02-04 from /SHARED1/ (which I assume is the proper thing to do?)

I see no one gets it... the creator of this packer hasn't made VC packing possible.
Also, it doesn't pack most of the WADs correctly, even if it shows it has.

Yep so it is. Let us wait for a real wad packer. Maybe waninkoko will release it in the near future.

Perhaps someone could give it a shot with the 2.00 hacked to english version that supports the classic controller.

The homebrew channel won't launch it (TP does)....would be very useful to have that easily accessible.

You can't simply copy the missing files from your SHARED1 folder! The missing filename doesn't match with the file from your SHARED1 folder. You have to check it by the SHA1 hash.

For example:
- your CONTENT folder misses the 00000002.APP.

Open the TITLE.TMD with a HEX editor. At the end of the file you will find something like this:
00 00 00 02 00 02 80 01 00 00 00 00 00 45 94 0F F5 DD 17 B3 20 0D D4 D6 BE 2B 25 B5 77 C9 9E 5F 94 1B 73 24

4 bytes cid
2 bytes index (underlined)
2 bytes type
8 bytes size (italic)
20 bytes SHA1 hash (bold)

(for every .APP file there is such a 36 bytes block)

In this case, you have to copy the file with the SHA1 hash (F5 DD ...) from your SHARED1 folder (which can be f.e. 00000021.APP) to your folder and rename it to 00000002.APP (accordingly to the given index).
