I wouldn't be actually surprised if it turned out that I made swapped badges work yesterday but they weren't in my BadgeData.dat file and that's why they were blank :/
I'll try to download that Sunshell tool and try to dump my own BadgeData.dat and compare it to the ones I got from you.

FINALLY. That Sunshell is a pain in the ass to install :/
BadgeData.dat is a file that's exactly 16 048 000 bytes long.
0x0 starts the two-dimensional array of entries 0x10 times 0x8A long.
Japanese file I got from @Februarysn0w actually gives a bit more info on how the array looks like.
The first line is Japanese text, the second one is English, the third one is French, then German, Italian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Dutch, Portugese, Russian, Traditional Chinese and 4 lines that don't appear to be relevant, but they're usually the same as English ones.
Names of the badges appear at 0x35E80, again we've got a two-dimensional array 0x10 times 0x8A long, but this time it's one per badge, not one per series.
0x250F80 starts the section that looks like properties of the badges, although I can't find any values from Mng in there.
0x318F80 is another section with similar values, investigation will be held.
0xCDCF80 is yet another one and it appears a bit different, although complex as well.
I think one of them might be related to the image and another one might be banner for example. Will check later.
And that's all from this file, I'll try to edit the name of the collection to see if I was right on the first part, stay tuned :)

EDIT: Ooooops, sorry for double post, how do I merge posts over here...? :S

EDIT: It works! YEAH!

Can i send an ita file?

ITA as in Italian? I think it's a bit too early for that. In the meanwhile I'm DYING. I have a 8,192 byte file extracted out of BadgeData.dat that looks just like an image file and it kinda resembles a BCLIM file, but no BCLIM converter opens it up.

Please, help me :|
I'm THIS CLOSE from making a custom badge, but I just don't know what image format is this. Is it BCLIM? BTEX? Something else?

You're aware that Italian files are actually the same as mine cause we both live in Europe, right?

Basically as for now all I can do is:
- Steal badges from other people's Data files;
- Clone them until infinity;
- Exchange the badge images with each others;
- Edit the text of the badges however I want;
- The collection they belong to, create custom collections as well;
But I can't make custom badges.
All I need to do is figure out that file format :|
Please, help. It's one obstacle I won't jump over without help. Anyone. PNG2BCLIM doesn't seem to support it, neither does EFE. :|
I can send any of you some samples if you want.

but can you help me since when i dump i don't find badgedata.dat?
 
your discovery is awesome, great news =)

but IMO the purpose of the game is try get the badge by myself

a "hack" which let me actually play the game, without spend money or maybe infinity free tries will be awesome too
since the game uses internet connection... i think the only way to do that is a custom IP, or someway to bypass the purchase, like freedomv app on android
