Hacking Emulation I want to make Wii Party Funnier, How?

[lucasfergui]

So, i want too make a version of Wii Party that changes the text to funnier stuff (kinda like Dii Party) but I have no fucking idea of how, Can someone find/make me a step by step guide on how to change the text?

(I also want to be able to run Wii Party with the mod on USB Loader GX and I want to specifically to change the text of Wii Party NTSC on Spanish)

hello, some of the game text sprites, but some are in mess.bin, and mess.bin can be edited with HEX editor (at least I have not found a utility that would be convenient to edit the text).

I know this is not reddit but r/Engrish also how can I extract the contents of the iso and then re-make the iso to boot it with USB Loader GX?

Try another rip or try a direct Spanish version (or what covers your needs).

Having a joint or 5 can also make it funnier (joking)

The problem is not that I can extract the iso files, the problem is that I don't know how to extract the iso files

If you have the original, then it's simplest/easiest to download another.
Try WiiBaFu or Wii Backup Manager. They convert to wbfs.
Many tutorials here at GBA. I know reading is pain in the ass, but knowledge/understanding is paramount.

WiiBaFu is only useful if you have an iso rip already. It won't rip an original Wii dvd.

The problem isnt that idk where to get the wbfs, the problem is that idk how to extract and modify the contents of aforementioned wbfs file

You can use the wiibafu software to extract the contents of the .wbfs or .iso file. After that, I’m not sure how to edit any individual files.

To extract I use Wit Wimms ISO but you need to use cmd
https://wit.wiimm.de/download.html

An example:

wit extract wiiparty.iso dump

The dump folder is where the game files will be extracted.

To repackage the iso:

wit copy dump wiiparty.iso (or wbfs as you prefer).

Am I correct in assuming you simply want to download your games ?
For the simplicity, I can understand, but I can't provide a download site here. It's based on the rules of GBA. But, if you have the originals .... There's hope for you

You also seem reluctant to use the methods provided. They do work.
I can only provide info after you've ripped your originals to a backup ISO. That's done with WBM (WiiBackupManager). The rest has been explained. Feel free to PM me, but I do expect total honesty (I'm too old for you to fool me).
Easiest isn't always the bestest. Live & learn, the best motto

Your "Make it funnier" will need attention after you learnt how to start the whole process of ripping & converting. Please, take the time & educate yourself. Read & learn. It's not that hard

I hope it's only the text you want modified (?).
The below should start you off (I hope)

This indicates a "font" issue. Best of luck
Perhaps a total redo of the font/s used to a workable font for you to alter.
Sounds like too much piss-farting-around for me (maybe you too).

I cant find that mess.bin file you are talking about
