I got custom songs in the WiiWare game Helix to work! here's how:

1. get U8extr, U8coes, WAD Unpacker, WAD Packer, a OGG file, and a Helix wad.
2. Create a new folder on your desktop called Helix, and put all the files required there.
3. drag 'n' drop the Helix wad into wad unpacker.
4. you should see a folder with alot of numbers as its file name. open U8extr, and select the 00000002.app file, then click extract.
5. in the folder with alot of numbers, you should see a folder called 00000002_app_out, open it, and the open the sounds folder.
6. take your OGG file(s), and rename them to the file names to songs in the sounds folder, copy and replace them.
7. open U8coes, and select 00000002.app file, then name the output file 00000002out, click make.
8. remove the old 00000002.app file, then rename 0000002out to 00000002.app.
9. drag 'n' drop the files in the folder with alot of numbers into wad packer, and it should make a file called out.wad
10. install and have fun!

Works for me, and got rid of the generic dance pap though I'd rather just put music on the old fashion way via a stereo.

I want to put the song "you spin me right round" by dead or alive in the the game and i plan to replace the song sunshine. i edited the the song list so that instead of saying sunshine it would say spin me right round. 1: will this affect the game? 2: How do i change my mp3 to an ogg file? Im trying to use this website to change it but it's taking forever.

How do i pack all the files into wad packer if they are all in a folder already? Do i copy and paste them into wadpacker.exe/batch?
(srry for double poston)
Edit: It didn't work. It didnt make a out.wad file. What am i exactly supposed to do after i replace 000000002.app with 0000000002out.app.
Edit again: I did delete the other helix wad.

drag the files into the folder where wad packer is, then drag the same files into wad packer.

    ooowwww a new way for me to beat NFS 510 :D @SylverReZ

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
