How exactly you extract those .arc files?

unpack with yaz0dec to rarc archive
unpack rarc with rarcdump
you will get the files

the problem I am having now is that
I have a yaz0 packer
but I cant find any program to pack a rarc

Would be interesting to open a US game which doesn't work on PAL and compare with the PAL version.
I mean, I browsed No More Heroes, and it even already have multilanguages menus and such, I wonder what refrain it from running on PAL...

Would be interesting to open a game which US version doesn't work on PAL in PAL and US version, to see the differences.

you got a point there....
btw, did you manage to get the it to be uncencored ?
Me and a friend are going to try to get this game to work on Monday -.- neither of us have the spare time untill thene....
If you managed to find out anything on Region conversion, you will let us know right?

I think a good starting point may be to compare the US and PAL version of a game
that doesn't work on a PAL system (so both version have to be released already...)

does this manhunt 2 thing only add blood, or does it uncensor it fully (cutscenes and stuff) to equal the leaked ps2 uncut version?

Ive opened the Galaxy (PAL) main.dol in several applications and i can find 4C0CB8 and 4C0CD2...... but no 4C0CCB ??

Any ideas? I wanna try the no drive check on one of my Wii's

 

[shaunj66]

Anyone kind enough to make a IPS patch or similar to remove protection from Mario Galaxy (PAL)?

Have a look at http://multiex.xentax.com/ - looks like it should do the trick, though I haven't tried it myself.

If you look at the archive format spec here:
http://www.amnoid.de/gc/rarc.txt

You'll notice that it's different from the files we're looking at. Those begin with "RARC" while ours begin with "ARC" it's possible that the format changed slightly, like adding compression, possibly.

However, we should be able to slightly adapt this format spec... I'll look into it today.



Edit: Fah! I keep getting "Could not replace file (code 6)" when I try to edit the update partitions (Tried 3-4 discs, personal dump and scene). Anyone have any ideas?

 

[DiNo29]

Did you set all the keys ?

arc (rarc) plugin for multiex

Use that plugin, should work

Some quotes from the forum and the link to the topic:

QUOTEHmmm
@Mr.Mouse:

It looks like your plugin is working, but when I try to open the .arc archive I only get error:
"PNG Archive not valid Path_to_my_directory_with Just_cause.dll"

I am using unregistered version

QUOTE

Now it is working fine!

You would not believe me:
I had to install Mycrosoft Offyce 2000 to fix it.... (some error occured and then Mex asked me to install it...)

What a crazy day......

Btw: Mr.Mouse: you are great... thx

Hmmmm well ive tried the USA Mario Galaxy too and still couldnt find that hex reference.

Has anyone tried to remove the limit on the VC games inside of SSBB? Or even maybe replace the VC games?

I am not sure how it works, but does SSBB just like have the ROM of zelda OOT inside of it running on an emulator? (like the GC special disk?)

If so, maybe you could change the game?
