Hacking [RELEASE] Phacox's Injector (NES/SNES/N64/GBA/NDS for Wii U)

PAN2PAN2PAN2 · May 1, 2021

I tried to inject based on "BIG BRAIN ACADEMY" which is the cheapest NDS VC available at e-shops in Japan, but none of the games I have started.
If I start Pokemon Platinum (JP), is there a suitable NDS VC to base it on?

Hi, I have a question: can the same base game (e.g. Yoshi's Land DS) be injected with and then installed with different games (e.g. Pokemon HeartGold and Pokemon SoulSilver), or would I have to use another host game to install SoulSilver?

Many thanks in advance.

is ds vc injection anything like n64 injection back on the wii where individual games had various hacks and tweaks to the packaged emulator so it really mattered what game you used as a base? I'm trying to get twewy to work, but it freezes on a white screen after you run from the first battle when injected into phantom hourglass. I'm wondering if I might find success with trying different base titles or something, or if they all more or less use the same ds emulator and it just can't handle twewy for some reason

edit: I've also tried injecting it into mario hoops (a square enix game might work better?) but still no dice, so I'm beginning to assume it's just not going to work. also tried launching it with loadiine and copying a save made in an emulator so get past the battle, but it just crashes on the next one

Is it possible to use this tool to inject an AR code? Like for widescreen in an N64 game? Or does that have to be done separately somehow?

Tetris Attack (American) works on the SNES Virtual Console. It is injected into Donkey Kong Country.

Hi,
I just dicovered how to inject games to ply games directly instead of using emulators. It's great.
I just have one question : Is there somewhere I can find the images (icon, TV, Gamepad), so I can avoid having to create them myself ?
Thanx

EDIT : Found some here : https://github.com/cucholix/wiivc-bis

Hey @phacox_cll can you add GB, GBC, PCE?

dekuleon · Aug 27, 2021

I'm trying to find HEX codes and instructions to edit Zelda Majora's Mask EUR M4 ROM to enable widescreen, but I can't find.

Any help would be appreciated.

There are 27 versions of the Nintendo DS virtual console, the catalog is available in the original post in the PhacoxsInjector_VC_Lists.zip file. The list indicates the official titles that contain a version of the emulator and is ordered according to the release date of the first game that included the version (assuming that the latest version is the most worked version).

You can use the same base game to inject different games. The Wii U uses the Title-ID to identify each game, so the program discards the Title-ID of the base game and generates different Title-IDs according to the injected ROM thus avoiding overwriting games.

It is not possible to inject AR codes since they are not general purpose emulators, the virtual console was made only to run certain games and nothing else, but fortunately some other games work and that is what the injection is based on.

You need to modify the ROM before injecting it (or find out how the config files for Nintendo 64 games work).

Yes, in the future.

Odd question @phacox_cll, but you have resolution options for NES, SNES, and N64 and it has got me thinking, would it be possible to make a version of the injector that could display the games twice as tall where the top half of the screen appears on the TV and the bottom half on the Game Pad (or vice versa), ideally with the option to also stretch the screen to fill the width of the screens if we wish too.

Reason being, I want 2 player split screen multiplayer games to be able to be playable where one player gets one entire screen to themselves and the other player gets the other screen all to themselves. I know resolution wouldn't be great, but I don't care all that much about that if we could get this kind of functionality in for applicable games. Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 would be brilliant examples that could take advantage of this, as is Spy vs. Spy for the NES.

I'm having a unique issue using Phacox's Injector. I can select a file for the game and images but not for the base. When I try to select a base I can only select a folder and not game itself. I've also tried typing in full file path and it wouldn't take. I tried another computer and I was still stuck. I used this years before and have injected several games, but now I'm having this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Selecting a base, in the app you have to select a "folder" containing the base, you cant select a "single" file for the base.
If your selecting a folder for the base and the app doesnt recognise is, then grab another base instead.

EDIT:
What files are you using for your base?

I wonder if inejcting zelda's birthday into zelda OOT/MM VC will work? and play past the kokiri forest area,
as on andriod, it won't load into the kokiri forest area, so the game isn't complete able.
maybe on wii u it'll work properly?

Update:
after using this injector tool along with zelda's birthday hack and the OOT N64 VC (E) as base, i loaded the game on wii u
and it worked out fine, sure it had a few missing graphics like the black textbox and some other stuff,
but the game works fine with no freezes or glitches (minus the graphics).
and it even loads up past the kokiri forest enternance area

.

on android, this area will not load whatsoever and i dunno why this happens, but on wii u using oot as a base with this hack, it plays prefectly fine past this problematic area. not sure if it'll work with MM VC base ttho.

Thank you! Finally an all-in-one injection software!

RadioShadow · Jan 17, 2022

Cool injector.

What would be nice is to be able to enter a separate Long Title when generating the images, instead of using the Long Title from the Main section.

For example, "Advance Wars: Dual Strike" has to use two lines for the image, but you can use 1 line for the text when hovering over the icon.

Another example being "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All". So for the Long Tile:
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
- Justice For All

While the image would say:
Ace Attorney -
Justice For All

The text for Released: is different for each region:
Japan = ####年発売
USA = Released: ####
Europe = Released in Europe: ####

Cool if the user could select which one to use, and maybe enter their own text?

You need to use another game's ROM as the base. Use this link to determine which would work well: https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/WiiU_VC_N64_inject_compatibility_list

I figured it out goahead and del lol x.x

mja7011 · Jun 27, 2022

I know this is an old thread, but hopefully someone can help me out.

I understand everything for the most part when it comes to injecting N64 games using this program. However, with all the base games (DK64, Mario Golf, F-Zero, etc.) how do I make these games wide-screen? Since these are already base games, would I just find the same rom of that game, use its base and ini file, and I would be ready to go? Or is there a different method of achieving base games as wide-screen.

For example, on the inject compatibility list, base games DK64 USA, Sin & Punishment USA are not listed.

Also many other base games (if I were to collect their respective Roms) require other base games to work. Could I not just use (for example) a rom of Super Mario 64 USA, inject it into a base game of Super Mario 64 USA (enabling widescreen) and its ini file to get loadline version that is wide-screen? Or does it not work that way?

Hopefully this makes sense! Thanks!
