Hacking Starfox Zero [EUR] dont work with 5.3.2 E

[alkar]

Just for fun but editing all strings from the RPX that look for _us to _gb should make the EUR game work on US Wii U. Didn't try but could be fun (or extracting all _gb files from the CPK and renaming them to _us and copying them into the game folders ?).

EDIT : tried this with Starfox guard EU version and it works on my US console.

do u know what could be wrong? I'd rather use my own fix than someone else's. I have the cpk in C:\

If I were to guess, you edited the csv file with a text editor that added formatting data

that worked! I was using excel, but changing to notepad++ worked! thanks!

I can confirm this also works with Starfox ZERO EU version, and I managed to boot it up on a US Wii U. That way you can also force other languages, for people that want to play it in spanish, german or italian on a US Wii U (US version only has french & english).

For example _el is espanol latina, _es is european spanish (so edit _el to _es)... etc
You can obviously extract data003.cpk (the one that contains languages) and rename languages files if you want.

Proper rebuild of data001.cpk: (should fix missing audio since it shouln'd be compressed)

1. Extract with CriToolpack1.0 all files from data001.cpk with decompress CRILAYLA (single file only possible)

face/face_fox.dat
face/face_fox_new.dat
face/face_naus.dat
data_cpk.fst
effprim.epb
graphic.bxm
shader.dat
shader2.dat
shadereff.bxm
shadereff.dat
shadersetting.bxm
ShaderSign.dat

2. Place all files in one folder, example: c:\temp
3. Copy your desired language into that folder, example: c:\temp\sound\stream\English(US)
4. Start CPKTools
5. Hit 'browse' and choose c:\temp
6. Data Align: 2048, Coding: UTF-8, Mode: Filename, no Dir.Mask and no ForceCompress
7. Choose 'save path' and 'filename > data001.cpk'
8. Start to Build your new file

Spoiler: only this data001.cpk won't load

8.1 Edit your .csv file with a texteditor of your choice and change for the following files from 'Uncompress' to 'Compress':

face/face_fox.dat
face/face_fox_new.dat
face/face_naus.dat
data_cpk.fst
effprim.epb
graphic.bxm
shader.dat
shader2.dat
shadereff.bxm
shadereff.dat
shadersetting.bxm
ShaderSign.dat

Example: C:\temp\data_cpk.fst, \data_cpk.fst, 0, Compress
(File on Disk, file in .cpk, ID-NR, Compress or Uncompress)

8.2 Use the following commandline to create the new 'data001.cpk' in 'c:\':
cpkmakec cpkmaker.out.csv -align=2048 -code=UTF-8 -mode=FILENAME c:\data001.cpk

9. Replace data001.cpk with this new generated file
10. Remove ALL language folders from content\sound\stream
If you want, you can add all audiofiles from 'stream' folder,
but have to remove the files or the game is stuck on loading!
Max. 2 Languages inside .cpk or game will blackscreen.

Just tried this with The Wonderful 101 and works perfectly.
Tested on UHS-1 Class 10 SD Card, repacked the English(US) folder inside the data002.cpk that comes with v16.
Appart from a 180 or so seconds wait to boot the game, the loading times are very fast and there is no sound desync.

I took this an extra step and put the entire /sound/stream directory into data002 (minus the japanese folder which I just deleted)

Game boots in 15 seconds, going to do some stability testing

@liomajor Thanks for your amazing solution.

Star Fox 0 /sound/stream folder w selected language > data001 > 6s loading
The Wonderful 101 /sound/stream folder w selected language > data002 > 15s loading

Do you guys know what's the title game update id of Star Fox 0 EUR? Thanks

@liomajor ,

Thank you so much for your tool and tutorial!

It works like a charm!


Is there a way to do it for "Super_Mario_3D_World" ??
There are 1859 .szs files in [ObjectData] directory. Can we pack them in 1 file ??

Thank you so much again for your great work!

Is there a way to do it for "Super_Mario_3D_World" ??

i want to know this too

 

[KiiWii]

I find its very fast loading but some of the speech is cut off with this solution:

Level with destroyed base, search lights, the hover thing and the gay robot: rescue the female character she says "Hello star fox" but on screen it says "hello star Fox, come to rescue me?" or something to that effect.

No big issue I just noticed it did it a few times with Gen Pepper too.

I'm not a fan of this game, nintendo need to patch it for pro controller!!!

 

[memomo]

Someone should upload the fixed version somewhere ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[alkar]

Don't enable compression if you only have "hello starfox"

Many Thx for this.It worked great on 5.3.2E not Spoofed with European Version and German Language.

Thx

 

[KiiWii]

Don't enable compression if you only have "hello starfox"

I didnt enable compression, I downloaded the language pack and overwrote.

Heres my post on another forum:

Fast loading fix not working for me (EUR) on 5.3.2E spoofed to 5.5.1E with loadiine_gx2_251fcc6.

No difference whatsoever......

EDIT: ok used "USA" fix on EUR dump from Masterwin and deleted all languages it worked 10 seconds loading.

USA version MD5 = 77E9CE67C5D7781990BED1E94A5EC1D9
149 MB (156,499,968 bytes)

EUR version MD5 = 5EF5D44504EDAA0DDD2D6B5BB9AA2656
156 MB (163,848,192 bytes)

 

[alkar]

I only played the first mission after tutorial, and didn't get any sound missing. Did you experience sound missing at this point or only at later parts?

 

[liomajor]

@KiiWii

The first fix had enabled compression and a few audio files did cut bcuz of that, i've written a fix to this and you might have still some audio files with compression.

Is there a way to do it for "Super_Mario_3D_World" ??
There are 1859 .szs files in [ObjectData] directory. Can we pack them in 1 file ??

Thank you so much again for your great work!

Games with .cpk are fixable since we have container files, if Super_Mario_3D_World has something similar, maybe.

Do you guys know what's the title game update id of Star Fox 0 EUR? Thanks

U can use rpl2elf/hexeditor to check the .rpx for included titleid's or the .xml files.
