All I see are toxic Nintendo fans that expect every game to be handed to them on a silver platter and them complain on GBATemp when they don't. TBH it's pretty funny. And if one of the games like Mario Galaxy was just a native port with the only new thing being the modified controls then nobody would of cared. I can agree that emulation is a bit lazy, and it being a limited time collection is a super scummy move, but still seems like a good collection IMO and I'm still going to get it. If you don't like it, hey, I don't care, but if you're going to get it because the games are emulated, then that's dumb. REALLY dumb. If these were just native ports with the same features/problems (like the hd SM64 textures and it being in 4:3), you would of praised it, why? It's because it's just a native port so it's suddenly good now right? And with SM64 being in 4:3, there's a pretty cool thing called... what is it? oh yeah. updates. Games can get updates with new features. It isn't a new idea.

If Microsoft released something like the Banjo Kazooie pack, with emulated, upscaled versions of Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie for $60, these Nintendo fans would praise it, but when Nintendo does the same thing, Nintendo fans crap on it! They have a bias against Nintendo when they do games like this. I hate being a Nintendo fan with these toxic fans, they aren't even fans, they're overly entitled nitpickers who complain about everything Nintendo does when the have to high of expectations. I expect people to bash on me, TBH I don't care, it's just a hot take and an (unpopular?) opinion. I don't care at the end of the day, Like it if you like it, hate it if you hate it, I don't care. Do what you want, we're all text on an internet forum. Send me hate comments, I don't care.

This release is cool. It's essentially $20 for each title on the Switch. I could argue why it's overpriced. Hell, I'd only pay $40 for a Banjo Kazooie pack. Super Mario 64 already has a better port that offers more. Nintendo won't bring updates that will give us the same functionality. However, not everyone who owns a Switch can experience the native port. It all boils down to what you're looking for.

I don't even own the game so I cant play play it and I'm not bothered hacking my Switch and pirating the game just so I can play 3D All Stars two days early.

Let's just replay your last couple of posts.

You go out of your way to find a thread about Mario All Stars(a game that you don't plan on buying, pirating, OR playing)
You complain about how toxic Nintendo fans are by being toxic yourself by writing a gigantic paragraph complaining about people, on a thread that isn't on topic to what you're talking about.
You admit that you're not trying to contribute to the discussion of the thread.
You're not even planning on buying, playing, or pirating the game.

I think the irony is lost on you. Do you see that you're just as bad, if not worse, than whiny Nintendo fans?

Why are you even here? Fucking scrubs.

Lets get back on track. Has anyone tried those new hashes yet? I might if I can figure out the file structure

Made an account just to post this but:

Just replacing the ROM file will crash the emulator without changing corresponding config files related to the ROM.

In order to replace the ROM you need to have your replacement file located at:

Code:

\atmosphere\contents\010049900F546002\romfs\MarioSunshine\Super_Mario_Sunshine_Stardust-trimmed.gcm

The file that loads the ROM is:

Code:

\atmosphere\contents\010049900F546002\romfs\rom.json

That contains the text:

Code:

{ "UID": "MarioSunshine", "DolHash": "4e10808fdbd8a8beefab38163bb43a5002f60d63", "ROM": [ "rom:/MarioSunshine/Super_Mario_Sunshine_Stardust-trimmed.gcm" ] }

The UID is how the emulator searches the /data/ folder to replace textures and gecko codes, so in theory we could replace that with something like "NewGame" and then match that to "rom:/NewGame/NewGame.gcm" in the replacement "rom.json" file we would load with LayeredFS.

We would then also need to find out how to generate new hashes associated with a newly inserted ROM (NewGame.gcm) in the files:

Code:

\atmosphere\contents\010049900F546002\romfs\NewGame\NewGame.gcm

Code:

\atmosphere\contents\010049900F546002\romfs\NewGame\NewGame.hash

Code:

{ "hash": { "exe": "corresponding exe hash with NewGame", "media": "corresponding media hash with NewGame", "full": "corresponding full hash with NewGame" } }

as well as

Code:

\atmosphere\contents\010049900F546002\romfs\data\database\hagi\NewGame.json

Code:

{ "Info": { "GCM": { "Name": "New Game", "CountryCode": "US", "GameID": "GAME", "DVD": 0, "ROMVersion": 0, "GCMID": "GAME.0.0" }, "Hashes": { "exe": "appropriate hash here", "media": "appropriate hash here", "full": "appropriate hash here" }, "UID": "NewGame", "ShortName": "NewGame" }, "Mxic": { "Hashes": ["appropriate hash here", "appropriate hash here"] } }

and finally the "boot" code needs the GameID ("FourCC") and VideoMode changed in this file

Code:

\atmosphere\contents\010049900F546002\romfs\data\database\config\NewGame.config

Code:

}, "Boot" : { "Country" : "US", "DVDRoot" : { "FourCC" : "GAME" }, "VideoMode" : "NTSC", "Retail" : true, "UseDolHash" : true, "LoadBios" : false },

it's not the file paths mentioned here?

I am using same path but nothing got modified so I guess I have same issue

It is. My problem is more specifically I keep corrupting my game because I move things to the wrong spot lol

RinkuSonic41 · Sep 16, 2020

Are you making a new folder or substituting Sunshine?

I saw in a reddit thread that those hashes don't work, not sure if I'm allowed to link to the comment but it said:

I wrote these, these are only hashes which I thought were useful to get those games working but there aren't. So it's not currently possible tho a team and I are working on it. Only one user claims he has done it but hasnt send proof

Has anyone tried generating the hash themself? Might be differences in rom versions?

sarkwalvein · Sep 16, 2020

I wonder, is the "hash" just a hash, or maybe nintendo is trolling you all and it's actually a digital signature.

In the way for popcorn to enjoy the thread....

Wait, it seems that boring prepubescent drama has plagued the thread... meh... the Nintendo security trolling was more fun.

hardwoodflooring · Sep 16, 2020

I'm burning through a bunch of work so I can't do it right now, but if you can extract the GCM in the NSP/XCI, you can probably just get the SHA-1 of that to verify that it's actually using SHA-1.

From there, get another rom, trim the first 100 bytes and generate another SHA-1.

The SHA-1 of the gcm file is:
651AF1295D6874102B276A264B0DA37AB38303F7

With the first 100 bytes removed, it's:
5C211DBA8C35CE0C6ADAAC48D4296D3812250B7C

And from the previous post, it looks the expected hash is: 4e10808fdbd8a8beefab38163bb43a5002f60d63

So SHA-1 probably isn't the way to get the hash then?

The "dolhash" is useless anyway because you can disable that check directly from the .config file.

has anyone tried disabling the dolhash for sunshine and seeing if it works?

sorry if I'm asking a bunch of questions, just trying to figure out what the root issue.

Nah it doesn't, and no worries. We just need to figure out the other hashes I'm pretty sure.

funtuna464 · Sep 16, 2020

I don't know if it'd help, but there's a copy of the "hashes" as well as 2 more in romfs/data/database/hagi/MarioSunshine.json. I doubt changing them would do anything but I wonder if that file and the "hash" file in the same directory as the gcm are linked somehow.

Wonder if it can be packed as their own nsps to be installed on the home screen. That would be so dope.

That would be a DREAM COME TRUE!!! I don't really care much for Gamecube games as the Wii was my main console when I was a little kid.
I would love to be able to play Wii Sports on my switch!

phatweeb · Sep 16, 2020

The game isn't even officially out yet and people have already figured so much out lol. I've got a good feeling someone will manage rom injection working within a couple weeks

Hopefully, but seeing as Galaxy is not being 100% emulated it might take longer than with the 64 or GC ones.
