Homebrew ROM Hack Just Dance - patches and save files

[extreeme13]

Unpack the game's update files, then go to the "content" folder and replace the patch_WIIU.ipk file with the one in the drive link

hi, i transferred the ipk file, but it didnt change anything, what should i do?

Are you sure that you replaced it in the update folder? There should only be the patch file inside the contents folder. If there's other ipks and stuff you're in the game's folder

That's strange, it looks like you have the files for the whole game into the update folder. The game folder (00050000/10139900/content) should have all these files, while this update folder (0005000e/10139900/content) is only supposed to have a patch_WIIU.ipk file, which is the one you should replace (at least on Cemu, which is where i tried)

You might need to delete your save file then (do a backup first)

Hello dancers!
Keep the party going all night with this brand new update! Enjoy 6 new songs now part of your Just Dance 2015 for Wii U catalogue.
- No more region exclusives! Players from the NTSC region can enjoy 'Papaoutai', 'Papaoutai - Ultra-Violet Mash-up' and 'Papaoutai - African Dance Version', as well as PAL players enjoying 'Till I Find You' and 'Till I Find You - Duet Mash-up', now part of the main tracklist. No DLC required!
- Let yourself get charmed with 4 new songs, all the way from China! 'Dancing Diva', 'Little Apple', 'High Light High Life' and 'Us Under The Sunshine' are now available to be played worldwide.
- Shine your way to the dance floor as the royalty that you are with 'Dancing Queen - Sing Along'! Gather your friends, sing, dance and jive all night long!


In the Google Drive link, there is a new folder named 'EXTRA SONG BUNDLES'. Download the files in that folder for your preferred region + the BlockFlows_WiiU.ipk file and add them to your game update folder using FTP (depending on what you use, the speeds may be slower or faster).
For JD15, you should have 4 files: secure_fat.gf, BlockFlows_WiiU.ipk, Patch_WiiU.ipk and Bundle_6_WiiU.ipk

You may be asked to replace existing files, overwrite them if prompted. (If you play off disk, some files may give you an error or a 0kb file. This is normal, if you're worried about anything going wrong, back-up the latest game update install/WUP and save it for later)
Always make sure to back-up your files in case anything goes wrong.
(I'll provide a tutorial on how to remove certain DLCs later on, since some maps will appear twice)
The next patch is the JD2014 one, I've already added 'Danse' for the NTSC region, but I want to add some extra songs as well

if you play off a disk, the console just puts those files there as a link/refrence i guess? but if you try to copy them theyre either 0kb or itll throw an error

Its possible create a wup version when you finish the work?

Also is possible you add the unlimited exclusives (16-19), to make the full versions? Mods from 20-24 have this.

EDIT: is not possible reuse my old save when i apply the patch (2014)? Because i soon i did that, the changes disappeared

EDIT 2: as soon I erase my save. Rhe changes comeback, but unfortunately for some reason i cannot erase my save from 2015. Please dont give up to let the game complete with the uplay screen on 2014

Its possible add content is not release official for wiiu like just mario and naughty girl - rabbits alternative on 18? Also its possible too add the unlimited just dance machine routines on 17?

1. I don't have much experience in making WUPs for patches, but if anyone else wants to help I'd be glad to make them
2. Yes, when I get there, I still have to finish the JD14 updates first
3. No, sorry
4. I'll keep trying it after I'm done with the rest of the songs as it's not a priority right now
5. Yes, I have considered adding the NX exclusive songs to Wii U (when I get there). As for JDMachine maps, I'll have to see (I never touched that mode ).

But every time you release a new patch my save will be erase or not?

sorry for double post but what i need do for 2015? i put secure_fat.gf, BlockFlows_WiiU.ipk, Patch_WiiU.ipk, 2015patch_wiiu.ipk and Bundle_6_WiiU.ipk in the content folder but nothing happen, if i understand correct i should put in the update folder but i don't have this folder.

Edit: to say nothing, i gain 100 mojos (50 2x) and unlock kiss kiss, but nothing of new songs appear

You have to put it in the update folder (0005000e), NOT in the games folder (00050000) then once you’re into that folder, go to either the 10176f00 folder (if the game is PAL) or to the 10179000 folder (if the game is NTSC), and you have to put all those files there... if you already did put the Patch_WIIU.ipk, you don’t have to also put the 2015patch_wiiu.ipk

Nope, you only need a brand new save file if the one that you had doesn’t have safe and sound, waking up in Vegas, nitro bot or love me again mashup

Hi there, I noticed you mention that all uplay rewards are unlocked for the just dance 4 wii u game, but I dont see the call me maybe alternative version, Im just saying because my sibling loves that version of the song, but its not in the save file.

 

[BananaIcecream]

I know this is not the right topic, but would be possible to make a patch to Just Dance 2016 that skips online connection on boot and make it playable on Cemu? (Mario & Sonic Rio 2016 has this thing that you can choose to which part of the boot sequence you wanna start, letting skip online connection part)

 

[folklore128]

how do I install the jd4 data? im rlly confused…

Make a backup of your own save with savemii than replace with the new files, later is just restore via savemii

I'll check it soon, though that's strange...

I'll look into it after I'm done with the actual patch files, uni is taking a lot of my free time and I haven't managed to progress much :,)
