Thank you for all the help. My last question is how many folders are in the game. I have code, content, meta, and save. I saw a 5th one in a video but is was just a bunch of numbers. Do I need it as well?
I haven't seen anything other than those 4, so perhaps it's just some extra stuff. Could be mod files but that will be managed by the Sm4shExplorer preinstalled with the kit.

My dumping keeps freezing when dumping one of the movies (mov_08 to be exact)... I've tried restarting the process, deleting the file and then restarting the dumping, but nothing works... is there a way to skip the movies folder?

Although the folder isn't required, DDD can't dump specific files, only folders and all the subfolders/files within that folder. You could use a better exploit, as this was written before IOSU.

What can I use? And do I absolutely need to dump smash to mod it? I read somewhere that you only need to dump it to create your own mods but since I'm as creative as a piece of wet paper I'll just install other people's mods

You do need a dump as far as I know. You could try wud2sd to dump the WUD then use Uwizard to extract it.

Is it possible for the dump to go directly onto an sd card in a pc? I dont have the internal storage for dumping, but I have 2 sd cards, one I can have title dumper and such, and one that has huge capacity and can contain a dump.

Yes, using something like wudump or disk2app. Although, these tools won't give you loadiine ready files, which means you will need to convert it.

When I use the dump.bat it gives me the ip, but then it says that
The system cannot execute the specified program.
The dump is now complete. Will launch Sm4shExplorer after key press.

then when you press a key it says that smash4explorer is corrupted and unreadable. I haven't tried dumping yet but is this supposed to happen?

It tried to execute the dumping program, but couldn't. Since it technically passed the program, it assumes that the dump is complete. Sm4shexplorer is probably not prepared to be opened while it has no dump.

Nothing fancy.
Includes:
  • A Readme.txt that has instructions and requirements.
  • Sm4shExplorer(Preconfigured)
  • Titledumper/DDD
  • SD card directory predone.
  • Bat file to help with dumping process.

Hope this helps!

Note: Your SD card must be formatted with FAT32. Use this tool. This will delete everything on your SD card so back it up if needed.
I seem to be having trouble actually finishing the dump. Usually when the dump is finished it will say something along the lines of "Client 0 Connection Closed". But my cmd window and the dump is paused in a weird way. I cannot type anything into the cmd window. I've also checked the correct properties on a completely finished dump. I seem to be missing a few files that still need to be dumped, therefore, my dump is not completed yet. Can somebody help me out with this?

I need help.

Whenever I try to dump SSB4 through DDD, it would stop at two certain files, but I'm not sure what they were called as I haven't tried dumping through DDD in a while.

The other thing is that whenever I try dumping through wudump, it stops at 17.1GB, and stays there. I'm not sure if there's a problem with the disc drive itself or just the disc that's causing it

I've hit this with my copy of Super Mario 3D World. I'm pretty sure it's a disc read error.

Try cleaning the disc with a microfiber cloth. (I haven't managed to get it clean enough to read yet; probably need a new cloth.)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • 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

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    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

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
