Hacking A GBATemp Team for DSTT, to upgrade files for games...

[bitonio6]

Hello everyone,

Who can joint this time here to work on upgrade for DSTT
like this team here -> http://r4ds.uueasy.com/read.php?tid-11533-...ad--page-1.html

For our US and Euro NDS Games ?

Savlib.dat and infolib.dat = We have allready someone for

But we need some "Genius"

for the "extinfo.dat" files

So if you are able to do work on it, tell-us

WE NEED YOU

Does that team actively refuse to 'fix' western games or is it that nobody has ever asked them to? Try it, you never know.

they are just a bunch of idiot that using other people's work as theirs!
they lurk at 2ch for FIXES! if they are capable.. we should have seen some EU/NA Fix from them
none of the forum members there are capable of something
the best they know is STEAL!

therefore, don't bother to ASK them for any FIX!!!
they are one of the main reason i no longer post codes as i used to...

EDIT: infact, they do come here to grab our infolib.dat and etc!! so why go ask a bunch of useless people...

 

[bitonio6]

we now, i think, its impossible to keep this kind of files, only for us...

The first and important thing, is to continue to upgrade and work on it...

if we can found an other solution, why not, to encrypt file, etc...

But now, everybody just want to play with some games...

The last one is "sonic classic collection"...

Thank to all who want to participate

The problem with 'encrypting the file' is... how do you DECRYPT the file?

If I make the file, and put it into an archive with a password and upload it for people HERE to use...
-- what is stopping someone from HERE from taking it?
-- what is stopping someone from making an account to take it?

This is the issue that Ashley had with DSTT.
Someone from DSTT could just get the information, take the work and then give no credit.

Does anyone know what format the infolib.dat, savlib.dat and extinfo.dat are ?
So if i would like to add some, at least i need some info about the fileformat and so on..
Is it avaiable somewhere ?

[bitonio6]

it is not a software and it is not very easy to use it

Maybe one day we will have a real software
like R4CCE for infolib.dat or/and extinfo.dat

savlib.dat = Software exist

Software DOES exist for all of them..... as I have linked in my above comment.
But if you cannot use the software, it's doubtful that you'll be able to update the files anyway.

il like this kind of example:

@echo off
if exist .\bin rmdir /s /q .\bin >NUL 2>&1
if exist .\bin2 rmdir /s /q .\bin2 >NUL 2>&1
if exist .\xml rmdir /s /q .\xml >NUL 2>&1
if exist .\xml2 rmdir /s /q .\xml2 >NUL 2>&1
if exist .\xml3 rmdir /s /q .\xml3 >NUL 2>&1
if exist .\xml4 rmdir /s /q .\xml4 >NUL 2>&1
if exist .\trg rmdir /s /q .\trg >NUL 2>&1
if exist .\ttl rmdir /s /q .\ttl >NUL 2>&1

rem xml2txt
rem titlelist(E).xml -> title.txt
if not exist .\ttl mkdir .\ttl >NUL 2>&1

@echo .\exe\ttl_xml2txt .\org\titlelist(E).xml .\ttl\title.txt
.\exe\ttl_xml2txt .\org\titlelist(E).xml .\ttl\title.txt

sort .\ttl\title.txt > .\ttl\ttlsort.txt
pause

rem dat2bin
rem extinfo.dat -> aaaa_11111111.bin aaaa_11111111.xml
rem bbbb_22222222.bin bbbb_22222222.bin
if not exist .\bin mkdir .\bin >NUL 2>&1
if not exist .\xml mkdir .\xml >NUL 2>&1

@echo .\exe\ext_dat2bin .\org\extinfo.dat -b .\bin -x .\xml
.\exe\ext_dat2bin .\org\extinfo.dat -b .\bin -x .\xml

pause

rem bin2xml
rem aaaa_11111111.bin -> aaaa_11111111.xml

if not exist .\xml2 mkdir .\xml2 >NUL 2>&1
if not exist .\xml3 mkdir .\xml3 >NUL 2>&1
if not exist .\xml4 mkdir .\xml4 >NUL 2>&1

@echo .\exe\ext_bin2xml .\bin\A3PJ4b8de600.bin -x .\xml2

@echo .\exe\ext_bin2xml @.\bin\binsort.lst -x .\xml3 -t .\ttl\ttlsort.txt
.\exe\ext_bin2xml @.\bin\binsort.lst -x .\xml3 -t .\ttl\ttlsort.txt

pause

@echo .\exe\ext_bin2xml .\bin\A3PJ_4b8de600.bin -x .\xml4 +t .\ttl\ttlsort.txt

@echo .\exe\ext_bin2xml @.\bin\binsort.lst -x .\xml4 +t .\ttl\ttlsort.txt
.\exe\ext_bin2xml @.\bin\binsort.lst -x .\xml4 +t .\ttl\ttlsort.txt

pause


rem xml2bin

if not exist .\bin2 mkdir .\bin2 >NUL 2>&1
@echo .\exe\ext_xml2bin ".\xml\A3PJ_4b8de600_4291-Anpanman to Touch de Waku Waku Training (JP).xml" -b .\bin2

@echo .\exe\ext_xml2bin @.\xml4\xmllist.lst -b .\bin2
.\exe\ext_xml2bin @.\xml4\xmllist.lst -b .\bin2

pause

rem bin2dat

if not exist .\trg mkdir .\trg >NUL 2>&1

@echo .\exe\ext_bin2dat .\bin2\A3PJ_4b8de600.bin .\trg\A3PJ_4b8de600.dat
.\exe\ext_bin2dat .\bin2\A3PJ_4b8de600.bin .\trg\A3PJ_4b8de600.dat

dir /b .\bin2\*.bin >.\bin2\binlist.lst
@echo .\exe\ext_bin2dat @.\bin2\binlist.lst .\trg\expinfo.dat
.\exe\ext_bin2dat @.\bin2\binlist.lst .\trg\expinfo.dat

So its okay to open a extinfo.dat, but not to do the reverse..

Congratulations! Your copy/paste skills are top notch!

Next time, use [.code][./code] tags to keep the formatting and [.spoiler][./spoiler] tags to condense it so people don't have to scroll forever.


Anyway... allow me to reiterate and clarify what I've said many times before...
If you can't figure out how to use the software to edit extinfo.dat (or even infolib.dat) then you will almost assuredly have NO idea where to begin updating the file to add support for new games.

What you copy/pasted above is NOT the tool.
It is a SAMPLE (i.e. it's not 100% perfected and mostly there just to show it's possible and how to do it) batch file (a script that executes multiple commands) for extracting the various files into a more human-readable format.

but you can understand, how it more easyer to use a software like "R4CCE" than some solution like you suggest

and we still dont know how found the information to complete this kind of file:

Which is why even if there WAS a magical program to edit extinfo.dat, you would have no clue what to do with it.


Extracting (and replacing) the .xml files is SIMPLE.
Actually EDITING and ADDING information is something that is far beyond many of the people who visit sites like GBAtemp and look to put together "teams" to update/maintain the extinfo.dat and infolib.dat files.




Also, the reason I say to use the [.code][./code] tags for things like what you posted above rather than [.quote][./quote] tags is to retain formatting, like this:CODE

Much easier to read IMO...
