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)

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 :)
Off course i can. But i don't know a free upload service that tive 32gb free space.

btw, I do have the save, but I don't know if it would work for you, there's a separate folder for the user as well (second image). I don't know what these files do, but I think the icon database is the sorting mechanic of the home menu. however, that's just a guess.

Sine it is a save folder the files here aren't important and will be regenerated if you delete them. The issue is that his folder is corrupted.

well, the thing is how did he dump the mlc if the system is bricked.? the only way I can think of is that he used a teensy 2.0++, after having dumped the nand with otp.bin minus the mlc. however, he shows mlc.img, which suggests it was a dump made with the rednand dumper. I think they named it .img. don't know if he can boot the system up at all or not.

He said that his console is bricked. You don't need teensy it s the mlc not the SLC. You can wire it to emmc/SD card reader or something like that. But yeah some clarification will help.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol

    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
