So it looks like the US release of this game has been censored http://www.kanzenshuu.com/2016/12/0...ds-american-release-changes-swords-to-sticks/

Would this be an easy thing to fix with a ROM hack?

Seems like it would be easy, I believe I found the files affected but I've no clue on how to repack the .cpk and I've not even started the game so don't have a save to boot up a battle to see if a stick is now a sword.

I know a user on that iso site who is looking into it and has played the game, so I stopped.

When the franchise as a whole is about people fighting each other, and one sword (Trunks's) has been an iconic part of the franchise, yes. But tell me, why even ask if you don't care about the game ?

Do any of you guys know how to add characters in the game through hex editing? If so what are the id's for the characters

The QuickBMS script works.

It does? need to try it again then, I tried a cpk repacker the other day and it worked great on Citra but didn't work on the 3DS at all.

Looks like the QuickBMS reimports and wants the same file size? the sword models are just a bit bigger in size then the sticks, I tried force re-import and the game just freezes when one would be used

Any news on this matter? Besides is it true that the Cell Regeneration Animation has been altered aswell?

Hi, I'm working on a special moves editor.
I think I've located the 30 slots for saved moves and I was going to run some tests to see if I'm right but it would seem that there is a checksum.

I noticed that the 4 last octets change significantly from one save to another so I guess this is it but I'm far from being an expert. Anyone knows which algorithm is used ?

Naturally, if anyone is interested, I can indicate what I found out.

edit : ok, I found my answer on 4chan, here are my notes...

"The dragonball fusion checksum turned out to be a very straightforward crc32.
Starting from 0x0 -> eof - 4 (where the checksum is stored)."

character.jprm :

character (0x100 -> 0x15F)
0xAC -> 0xAF : player XP (~ 50 million to 100)

oh, and since I'm giving everything...

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import binascii
import re

def reCalcCRC32(fileNameIn = 'character.jprm'):
    fileContent = open(fileNameIn,'rb')
    fileText = fileContent.read()
    fileContent.close()
    bkp = open(fileNameIn+'.ori','wb')
    bkp.write(fileText)
    bkp.close()
    crc = "%08X" % (binascii.crc32(fileText[0:-4]) & 0xFFFFFFFF)
    reverseCRC = re.findall('..?',crc)[::-1]
    finalCRC = ''.join([chr(int(reverseCRC[i],16)) for i in range(4)])
    fileContent = open(fileNameIn,'wb')
    fileContent.write(fileText[0:-4]+finalCRC)
    fileContent.close()
    return ''.join(reverseCRC)

#fileNameInput=raw_input("file to open : ")
print reCalcCRC32()#fileNameInput,"out.bin"

So how would I be able to add ssj onto my character's moveset? Any screenshots for visuals would be very helpful

well, you must understand this : there is no graphical help for this, we are talking about hex editing, it is as plain as opening your save with any hex editor and overwriting stuff.
you must also make a backup before any attempt at anything, better safe than sorry.

The process is fairly simple : look for the address I identified as "moves section" (0x150) and then put the value you want (here 980d).
the real problem for you might be to then recalculate your checksum so that your game don't consider your save corrupted and delete it. it is a crc32 sum of the whole file minus the 4 last words, don't forget to write it in the 3DS big endian way (57 05 0d 76 become 76 0d 05 57). ~~I had a script for this but I don't have it here.~~ I edited my post to add the crc32 recalculation script.

note that, even if my end goal is to make an editor on the 3DS, the project is just started and may never actually produce anything. I also don't intend to help loosers who only want easy wins in multi; I am however willing to help anyone who want to understand how this thing works since this game's character system is way more powerful than the character creation allows you to do. for example, look at my character (the values are in my notes) :

and, I guess, you could make a fridge the same way, your character's appearance is completely separated from its race or anything.

well, thanks for the invite, I would have loved to work with you in may, back when I was really into it with way too many time at hand... but I just took a job and I don't think I can find any time to sleep now so it won't be easy (I checked anyway). well, let's say that my personal projects are on hold for the time being.

that being said, I periodically check this thread so if you have questions that I can answer, I will try my best to do it.

now, let's go to sleep, I have almost 4 whole hours before work...

Is there any hack that allows to fuse anyone with anyone? It's the hack i yearn for this game to have.

BurnyBurnyBurnyBurny · Jan 17, 2024

Hi, random nobody here - I have been going through all this inb my own adventures in save editing....I have a question. why are the costume options in the save editor so limited? there are so many characters with unique outfits, but you just cant use them. For what reason is this so? is there a way to get more avt files of other characters in game, or more outfit pieces to use in the editor?
