Alright, I've noticed that many people are complaining about the fact that you can't insert more then 50 songs into JwtB.

Well, I have a solution! And hopefully it works!


It's simple really, transfer over the graphics from JwtB into Daigasso DX!

Opinions?

Meh, I'm fine with the 50 song limit because I won't be using more than that :/ so I'm not gonna waste time and effort doing this...

In theory, I guess it could work though.. Shouldn't be too hard, but I'm not gonna try

EDIT: Damn. I tried, an failed.

Here's what I did:

Unpack BDX using DSLazy
Unpack JwtB using DSLazy
Open up BDX's extracted contents and JwtB's extracted contents
Copy the 2D, 3D and gfx (?, I forgets) located in the 'English' folder over to BDX
Repack it as a ROM
Run using Wood/YSMenu

RESULTS:
Wood: I made 2 for this. One where I also copied over the header info as well. Wood made a 32mb save file. I think I know how YWG fixed this. Anyway, I then deleted the 32mb save and copied my 8mb Daigasso save over. Wood over-wrote it and made another 32mb save. D :< . So then I did one again with no header info, so it was still the Japanese game header. It booted, but hung on a white screen. (I think I still used my old BDX save fore this too, that could maybe be part of the problem)

YS: I only tested my Jap header one using YSMenu, and it hung on a black screen. Damn.

Black and White are some keypoints, white (i think) means it didn't get into the game, black means it did, but crashed.


I dunno, I did something like this a while back with EBA, removed all song info for mission 1. The Agents were dancing in front of a black screen, no hit markers, eventually it ended the song and graded me. Then it crashed. >_>.


Well, if anyone figures something out, post it here for everyone, alright?
;D

I'm gonna keep trying, good luck to all and remember;
Wealth and Glory to the Winner.

it's not that easy.
they changed some screens/features so you can't just do a 1 on 1 transplantation of files from JWTB into DBBDX
the text, and possibly buttons, will all be switched around if you can even get it to work.

You could already tell by how the japanese one is 64mb, while the english one is 128mb ... it definetely wont work like that.

No, the reason for this is because they've got the graphics for the other languages in the ROM as well.

Still, I'm going to keep at it. SOMETHING has to work!

Just copy over existing graphics and type in the translated text? Or is that what you did?
Yep. Word for word. Although, I did come across something interesting...

Note the file size. Could it be..?

QUOTE(squall23 @ May 30 2010, 09:35 PM) Or a hopefully somewhat easier solution. Update degausser so that it works with JWTB saves.
That would be nice.

They're all the same size!!!

They could be encrypted .bdx's.

Anyway, I've got progress! I replaced the title screen! Will post a video soon...

Those are most likely encrypted bdx files. If you've ever tried using BDX Replace (a tool to replace packed in song in the rom with bdx files) from Yasu's website, you see bin files just like those when you open up the rom.

Lol, it was kinda cool how the logo changed from Daigasso to Jam With the Band like that xD

If you do get this working fully, I guess it would be a good thing for people who want to use the japanese version.

For myself, I'll just stick with the english, but as I said its useful for some people...

I'm still trying. The fact that it crashes when I enter the song selection really pissed me off...
