    Gaming Xenoblade Chronicles: Content Restoration

    It is indeed "VERY ambitious". I would love to have this available on all platform Xenoblade Chronicles is on, but I'm not sure about the New3DS version. People are still cracking that one open. I have no prior experience with modding, but you have to start somewhere right? I see this proposal...

    Homebrew Request: Howard's U8tool 7.1

    I didn't use the other U8tool. I just got it with a package of other programs. I did use Howard's U8tool though. Which options are you selecting. When I used it, I clicked the check box for Delete Any Recrusive "_OUT" Folders, Archive Header Options to Regular, and used the Get Settings From...

    Both programs wouldn't respond? During the middle of unpacking? That is weird!

    Gaming Xenoblade - Unused/Beta area in game?

    I see as HxD has an option to display 256 values in a row, but it actually also goes to 512 which goes past 0xFF (or I guess in this case starts over with a subscript 1 00). There are 8 bits and the number of bytes they make up don't matter at this point right? So for 16 bit, there will just be...

    Gaming Xenoblade - Unused/Beta area in game?

    You confused me a "bit" here. Pun not intended. I don't understand the 2^x bit sizes. I can understand that those actual sizes are 8, 16, 32, etc. And also how you wrote 00 to FF (in binary: 00000000 to 11111111), is the 00 to FF supposed to be hex if 000... and 111... are binary? There are 16...

    Gaming Xenoblade - Unused/Beta area in game?

    I've looked into C/C++ as languages to learn in game design since a lot of people mention them first. But I guess first I should learn to read it? Something like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Learn-Binary-The-easy-way-01000001-00000001/ or is there a different/easier way to start?

    Gaming Xenoblade - Unused/Beta area in game?

    I'll... try and wrap my head around that! I think right now I'll use HxD to view the binary and check out 010 hexeditor when I'm ready. Do you know a good place I could learn about this stuf, I guess starting with reading and understanding binary format and construction?

    Homebrew Request: Howard's U8tool 7.1

    If you are using windows, then the omly other problem I can see is: "An argument probably exceeds the range of permitted values. For example, the Sin function can only accept values within a certain range. Positive arguments less than 2,147,483,648 are accepted, while 2,147,483,648 generates...

    Gaming Xenoblade - Unused/Beta area in game?

    Well I plan to take my time with this, but I hope 5 years is enough considering I thought it be cool to have it out by the game's 10th anniversary. I've looked all over the place and know there is nothing to help me do this. NOTHING... but I was hoping I could get some others that love this game...

    Homebrew Request: Howard's U8tool 7.1

    I'm using Windows XP (which I really should upgrade) but it's doing me fine so far. Runtime errors can usually be fixed by downloading Microsoft's C++ Redistribution Pack: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

    Gaming Xenoblade - Unused/Beta area in game?

    Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I had a feeling devkitPPC would be irrelevant to me. I was just doing some quick research and that is something that popped up a bit. Is there any recommended place to get this hex editor? xD What a blunt way to put it! I know it's going to be tough, but I...

    Gaming Xenoblade - Unused/Beta area in game?

    Well I'm stuck again if anybody happens upon this to help! As Helsionium said, he was able to edit the metadata, which I'm guessing is basically source code. But I'm not sure how to open this type of file (.bin). I need a compiler right? I've heard some people mention devkitPPC to do this. I...

    Homebrew Request: Howard's U8tool 7.1

    You have both U8Tool and gbalzss in the same folder right? Techboy included gbalzaa.exe because apparantly the U8Tool needed it. Well here is the same thing uploaded by myself: https://mega.co.nz/#!FwNzFRoa!ONf7RKM0VBjEqWKn6Rw8wH0jnHPZN3m6UKyTqzO9Qmo And if that still doesn't work...

    Gaming Xenoblade - Unused/Beta area in game?

    I was able to do it, FINALLY! I only found one person who said it. Maybe other people had, but it wasn't as clear. I wasn't aware you HAD to have the pkh file that goes with it's corresponding pkb file. And then that was compressed in static.arc. Yeah, I've already been on the map ingame with...

    Homebrew Request: Howard's U8tool 7.1

    Know this thread is old, but THANK YOU for the link techboy. And the fact it isn't broken either. I was originally trying to extract the map data from Xenoblade Chronicles, but didn't know I had to get the pkh files from the static.arc, which I wasn't sure how to extract.

    Gaming Xenoblade - Unused/Beta area in game?

    Every thread I go to is old. I know this stuff was looked at before localization was confirmed, but hopefully I can get some sort of help. Now with a NTSC-U copy of Xenoblade, I have extracted the game's contents into a folder on my PC. I was able to extract the character models from a .pkb...

    Hacking Xenoblade Chronicles - Replacement Hacks (maps,stuff)

    Well I guess I'll start here since there are some people who have the same vision as me though my thinking is bit more ambitious. I'm just not so sure if this is the right place to talk about this, especially since it seems this stuff was pulled off with cheats, but perhaps somebody may know how...
