Hacking Earth Seeker: Translation (Jap-Eng) Patch & Stuff

[Tzuba]

There has to be someone who can figure out how to make it work... And don't worry dude.

 

[Hielkenator]

im really sorry! ;(

i swear, on my wii 4.2U and using usbloader gx, this game (patched) works 100% with no problems
i dont understand why there aro SO many PROBLEMS!

;(

i was hoping to help many people but everything goes wrong i guess..

maybe because i have a custom firmware (last customF) and not the 4.2 original ?

maybe without a CF, games with edited isos dont works??

Not probably, usb loader only rely on Cios.

Could you tell us wich cios rev you have installed?

Region: USA
System Menu 4.2U (v482)
Homebrew Channel 1.0.8 running on IOS58
Hollywood v0x11
Boot2 v4
Found 40 IOS on this console. 9 of them are stub.

IOS57 (rev 5661): Trucha Bug
IOS58 (rev 6175): USB 2.0
IOS60 (rev 6400): Stub
IOS61 (rev 5405): No Patches

i use USB loader GX r1037 (wad)
i run the game with IOS 249, language Jap, video NTSC, anti 002 On
works 100%

i have all the 4.3 single ios installed in the 4.2 CF (for wiishop and nintendo channel)

the last time have installed wanin 4.2 CF and Hermes V5.1 cIOS 222 installer
that's all

i never used the nandemulator,
i hope someone find a way.

 

[Hielkenator]

Could someone try Wanins rev 18 instead of D2x?

I'l try and patch the game myself now too.

 

[Hielkenator]

CFG gives black screen No matter what cios combination I use.

GX gives same screen as zizer: http://imglink.ru/show-image.php?id=3e2e73...d2d2d9f63aee6b2

with rev ciox18.

So no, I don't think it's possible, or the patcher srews up somehow.

 

[Tzuba]

Black screen for CFG USB and GX. It doesn't turn my wiimote off anymore and I can press the home button but all that comes up is the home menu icon crossed out. Otherwise, its just a black screen.. Are you sure you didn't do anything else that might give you different results?

 

[zizer]

i use ios not cios (uneek)

but when i use enabled skip error i can play without blue screen (uneek)

@Doombringer:

Did you try to apply the patch to the original files yourself or are you using your own edited files?
Maybe the ppf patch creation has a problem.

Here are the MD5 of my files after applying the ppf patches:
etcmessage.ffx : 8f142c1c309defb48a8d1b743cb480bc
ffxfile.pac : c324da050672150b7a1c556aa56fd0a7

sysmessage.ffx : 7c0d4eb5916f3aa79d15911178ac42cd

Could you compare with your own files which were used to create the pff?
It should be fine, as people get the game working fine on dolphin and sneek, it's just weird :/

I'm also sing USBloaderGX, and tried Hermes 5.1, and d2x v6beta1
The game is on FAT32 (do you have it on wbfs partition by chance?).

 

[L4D]

I got that error screen same as zizer and Hielkenator by trying to force video settings to pal - 480p settings on Usb GX, as i said in my earlier post.

The unpatch EC iso works on Usb GX with force NTSC and if u try to force it to pal it will go to that error screen.

I don't think its a ios issue, i could be wrong tho but why does the unpatch EC ISO works?

 

[Kilano]

I'm really glad and happy for the patch and the guide

but as someone who never patched a game with this method i can't do anything, the guide starts with extract some files, but i don`t know how to extract or what programm i need for that.
i tried wiiscrubber but after selecting the game iso it sas unable to find key.bin and after clicking the unscrub button i have to select some dif file

sorry if im wrong here but i'm really lost

 

[Cyan]

you should have receive a copy of "MakeKeyBin.exe" with Wiiscrubber1.40 kit.rar (if not, you downloaded the wrong rar, take the one I linked).
Run makeKeyBin.exe, replace 0 by 42 and hit generate, it will create a key.bin file that you have to place in the same folder as Wiiscrubber.exe.


Then, you can load the game iso correctly.
Browse the game file and folder structure to find the FFX/ folder and right-click on all 4 files to extract them one by one.

Important : you may want to keep these extracted files somewhere, they will be used again on next translation patch update, or you'll have get a clean dump again as you will replace the files in the iso.


Don't bother patching it for he moment, the game is not booting with the replaced files.
Wait for the next update.

i made some tests before release the 4 ppf files,
and i tested on original files from original dvd and then on usbloader gx

everything I've done
-i have extracted the files with wiiscrubber and replaced with the patched one,
i closed wiiscrubber
i used the WBFS Manager 3.0 (maybe with an SD dont works??) and put the iso in a usb pen (8 gb)
then load usbloader gx

RIGHT now i think that i have made a different dump of the game?
maybe dont works because people have a different iso from me??

I just removed the link for the download

 

[Cyan]

No, the dumping process doesn't affect the file extraction and patching process.
That's why I said it was better to patch each files instead of the complete iso (which will be different depending on the used dumper).

The files md5 are fine, though I used Wii Backup Manager to transfer the game iso to my FAT32 drive.
I'll try to patch file by file to check which one is affecting the game boot.


Ok, I've completed my tests, here are the results :

• Working with :
etcmessage.ffx : Patched
ffxfile.pac : Patched
gamemessage00.ffx : Original
sysmessage.ffx : Original

Patching only the first two files is working fine.
First file translates bereta's message : "welcome to the quest board" and "Pleace come again!" (pleace ? certainly because of the squeezed font)
Second file added few items translated (not a lot) and Phils description in Party menu.

• Partially working with :
gamemessage00.ffx : Patched

Replacing this file render the game unable to load data.
The game is booting and load Title screen, but when I load my save file or create a new game it's looping in "Now loading..." screen.


• Not working with :
sysmessage.ffx : Patched
While replacing this file, the game is unable to booting at all.


I tried a lot of different combination of patched/original files.
It's problematic with patched File3 and File4 as long as they are present in any other combinations of patched files.
Only the two first files are working fine.

Test done under USBLoaderGX 2.2, cIOS d2x base 56, on FAT32 partition.

 

[eleison]

Well, just wanna say thanks for your effort Cyan

 

[doombringer]

good work @cyan!!

the most important file for the patch is sysmessage.ffx are 8kb and are all the menu translated!!

so WTF! the most important file dont works ;(

what i have to do ?

 

[Cyan]

what is strange is that users reported the game is working while playing it with Sneek+di.
I can try it myself but I will need more time to test/extract game.

edit:
You currently have a working version with your USBLoaderGX? what are your settings (forced video, forced languages, cIOS, anypatch?)
could you come to gbatemp's irc?

I'm sorry to bother you, it's all my faul, i dont understand why the game works for me,
anyway i can try to reupload the sysmessage.ffx Only?

maybe this time works?

 

[Cyan]

I have the same Patched file's MD5 as your "base" file, so it won't change a thing.
Maybe you used a wrong/old base to create the ppf ?

ps: see my edit above.

guys believe in me, i just did exactly what should be done
when i created the ppf i did a lot of attention in choosing the right files and tested the iso,

but if the most important files doesn't want works (i dont know why?) this patch is useless..
I spent a long time to create it and at the same time i enjoyed

but
now i can leave everything, i quit the work..

i'm really sorry
for those who have spent time unnecessarily
i take all the blame
