ROM Hack [Release] Every File Explorer

[Asia81]

You can open the banner.bin file with 3DSExplorer and use that to extract the CGFX file. You can also extract the CWAV file if it has one. But I got an error when I attempted to extract it.

Not that big of an issue. If I need the original I can just have the 3DS play the sound on the home menu with it connected to Line-In input on myPC. The background music of the current theme on the Home Menu gets muted when it plays the sound for the app that got selected. So I can get a clean sample of it that way.

I think you have to rename the bin file to a file with "bnr" extension (example, banner.bnr) as it's not setup to read it with the BIN file extension. After that you just extract the CGFX file which can be opened with EveryFileExplorer. From there I exported it as a DAE file and imported to 3DS Max.

Wait... Why when i try to open with EFE my banner.cgfx from the banner.bnr, i can't see the full banner ? It's not like on your screens :

And if i use this for export .dae file :

I can't see anything on Photoshop CC :

And with Photoshop i can't even export as .obj file...

You have to zoom the viewport out on most banners when viewing them in EFE (especially with the pokemon games). Middle mouse scroll wheel controls viewport zoom. Scroll up to zoom out I believe. Continue doing that until you see the model come into view. Use Arrow keys to rotate view.

As for Photoshop....I have no experience using that for 3D stuff. Sorry.

Your best bet is gmax or blender. I haven't used many of the "free" options very much. I've used to using 3DS Max which isn't free.

I downloaded blender, but i can't find where i load a .dae file... sorry, i'm a little noob in 3D x)

Keep in mind that the shaders are not 100% correct yet. Especially the lighting part.

You mean texture hacking? I am going to add that, but as long as I can't save animation, you will lose them when saving.

Yeah it's especially for break the limit on VC banner, 256x128

Or import, export and save a png like that :

I want try to make a fake for emerald delta

Nope. It only emulates a real cartridge (can't bypass signature checks) so you'll always need untouched roms.

oh nooooooooo! seriously?.... damn i was looking forward for this!...i wanted to mod some games so badly.. what are the conditions to be able to launch modded roms.. CFW or GW?

i'm guessing there's no way to patch the signature in roms?..

Yeah, a GW is the best option. CFW works too but you'll not be able to run most of the latest games.

There's no way to properly encrypt and sign the repacked roms.

Hi, today i managed to unpack a rom that i want to translate, but somehow, when open the bcnft, the "font" tab works great but the character map is white ¿Is this feature not implementet yet or it simply gets bugged with my bcnft?

It is not implemented yet.

 

[badger_vm]

It is not implemented yet.

will it be implemented soon or you are busy with other things? i think i can try to make a plugin to show the values of the simbols but if someone is already working on it i can focus on other things...

I will be adding that soon.

Nice work Gericom. Any progress on bctex files?

You can open them already. Or do you mean texture hacking?

So I think I've figured out why the Kid Icarus Uprising .arc files don't show the models properly. I think the textures and various parts of the model are all stored separately from each other.

The textures appear to be in one archive within the archive, and the model(s) are in another. Not sure what the .json data is, though.

Json is a simple data structure. You can make it more readable by using this: http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/

Is there a possibility to add a "write" function to the DARC-File Format soon?
I really want do modify a game and change models, textures etc, but I can't replace this files inside of the darc-files right now :/
Please add this function soon x_x

How far is the process for KMP/Driver Model editing with this program?
