Hacking Change game region and play on sysnand USB

[sergio_prado]

Okay that makes more sense, RedNAND is what worries me (given its stability issues), that being said, I do have Python 3.5 installed and I did generate an fw.img with Fix94's tutorials (not for vWii, but the IOSUHAX). At this time, I don't know
of any out of region games that I want, not yet anyway.

I've used the same fw.img from vwii hack

Is there a way for me to know if the fw.img I compiled is safe or legit? Like, I don't want there to be any missing data, the wrong hash/SHA-1, etc, before I use it.

Here's the CRC, MD5 and SHA1 of my personal build of FIX94's fork of iosuhax.

CRC: F24E90F9
MD5: b0617e31f41f07b5ec9b948838e8c71d
SHA1: 4D14047568E1E2AADA95FBC23021F3E458F774E7

EDIT: Added the SHA1 for my personal build.

You dont need to compile it, you easily find this fw.img on that iso site.

So, after installation and edit on the xml I won't need to open CFW anymore? It'll be installed like a retail US game?

Not everyone is comfortable using a pre-built file. Let him compile it himself if he wants.

@the_randomizer See my last post for the CRC, MD5 and SHA1 for my build of FIX94's fw.img

Yes, like a retail game

Only if it's a disc title installed through the Brazilian method. If it's an out-of-region eShop or Virtual Console title, you will still need signature patching.

That's fine by me, I only want Project Zero and Fast Racing Neo...thanks

Yes, but I don't trust that one, so I did make my own lol.

So after adding an update to a game it dont work it now has another meta.xml i need to change in the update folder. Where would the update path be for the game to download the xml to edit in that as well then reupload back. Ive changed the original xml but update stopped the game booting.
Game plays fine region swopped without update applied just need to know path of update location to apply update and change the xml there too. Thanks

It should be something like this

w.up ("meta.xml", "/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/title/0005000e/101d3000/meta/meta.xml")

just change the last 0 in 00050000 to e and it should work

 

[peteruk]

ok.. so i used Disc U to rip an out of region WUD to wup installable files, is it possible to pre patch the region before installing ?

No, its not possible.

So, this is extracting a file from a game, modifying it, and replacing it... Could this method be used to install game mods to USB? I'd love to be able to run my copy of Tokyo Mirage Sessions from USB instead of loadiine.

nevermind

Should be, yeah. Just as long as the mods don't need to change anything in the code folder

will this work with the taiko series on a uk wii u ?

All three Taiko games work on a USA Wii U via this method, I would guess it's a yes.
