Good night, somebody can upload a fully mlc extracted files?
I need to replace some title'id files in my mlc dump to fix some wrong files.
Thank you.

Happy New year.

oh, I didn't realize it wasn't case sensitive. I don't really know what that file does, but I'm thinking it's the ordering of games as well as where the cursor was saved to for each folder or on the normal home screen. I know I tried dumping the mlc several times, and that file was always not read properly. several bytes were cut off of it when I extracted it from the dump compared with what was on the system. it happened every time for some reason.
Yeah the file system isn't case sensitive, that is why all the paths are stored in lower case internally. (With a bitmap to mark uppercase letters)

All files that have in these folders.
sys\title\00050010\1004e100\
sys\title\00050010\1005a100\
usr\save\00050010\10040100"
usr\save\00050010\1004d100"

In fact i wanted all files, because i don't know what exactly is wrong im my dump.
But when i extract my dump, i got some errors in these folders i've mentioned.

Have you tried using an ftp to get those files, then injecting them?

Before the brick the console worked normally, the error happened after I used FailST to patch the "health and safety" native system app, after applying the Failst patch, I opened FTPiiu, so I don't remember exactly which one folder I went, if it was 0050010-1004e100(Health And Safety) or 0050010-10040100(Wiiu Menu) and pasted 2 files, cos.xml and men.rpx(patched with Home Brew Launcher). After that I pressed the home key, to go back to the main menu, but the menu didn't open, I thought it was some silly error and decided to restart the console. After that the console shows error 160-0103 after powering on.
So I figured if I dumped mlc and injected the correct files back, the system would work again, the problem is, I don't have those files.

That error is when there are blocks with bad hash....
You can maybe fix the files by injecting them, but you can't fix the folders, as their metadata is probably corrupted.

If you want that I will investigate that corruption and see if it is repairable by recalculating the hash you can send me the dump and otp privately

I am working those days to add writing capabilities to my tools, but it is going to take time, so deleting corrupted folder and readding it is not possible yet, but hopefully will be possible. I can write chkdsk like utility for wfs :)

this actually worked for me, because I had one bad file, the BaristaIconDataBase.dat. I did inject it after compiling a new version of wfs, since the original had an issue with locations that were in uppercase. I think it would say it couldn't find the location. that was my motivation behind that. it did in fact work, so now I have no errors when decrypting my mlc. I just used ftp to grab the file.

Yeah I have to fix this bug, but the workaround is just to specify the path in lowercase.

    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow

    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
