Hacking Uwizard: All-In-One Wii U PC Program

[Mr. Mysterio]

Great to see that you are still actively discussing your program with users and other developers.


Something that I'm still anxiously waiting to see if you implement is Batch Converting for BFSTM files.

An option to convert the audio files from the game files into something other than WAV would also be outstanding. I have a bunch of uses for MP3 files that cannot be substituted with WAV files, so this feature would at least be useful to some people.

Ninjedit: looking back, I realize that the programs or devices that cannot use WAV files in place of MP3 files most likely are just suffering from laziness by their programmers. Either way, it would still be a dandy feature.

You can select multiple BFSTMs in the selected folder, then convert them all. Just hold Ctrl or Shift.

I've been working on a built-in MP3 converter using the LAME library. I have it working-ish, but not 100% reliable.

I've been REALLY busy lately, so either my next release will only have minor changes like MP3 support and BFWAV support, or it will be a long time until my next release. I'm guessing that the public would prefer fewer features released sooner. Which would you prefer?

Considering most people have no use for it anyways at the moment, probably better to make sure it works well for when we release all our stuff so people can use it. The important thing is extraction, importing comes second.

Of course, I will make sure it works well before I release anything. It's simply a matter of, for example, releasing a built-in wav2mp3 converter in two days, or releasing a wav2mp3 converter and a BFWAV decoder in five days.

BFWAV support,

How did you add BFWAV support that fast?! Is it true that only that BFWAV file I sent to you helped you?

 

[Mr. Mysterio]

I got it working about twenty minutes after you sent me that file. Thanks! It would have taken me DAYS otherwise.

EDIT: I can see there's plenty of anticipation for the features that I've already made. I'll release the BFWAV decoder and the MP3 encoder either this evening or tomorrow morning.

Did the file sound normal when you converted it to a wav with your program?

Never noticed that it was implemented. Thanks for letting me know.


Considering that it will most likely be a while before certain features are needed to be implemented into Uwizard (like when the Kernel exploit releases), I would say to release small, semi-frequent updates like you said, adding gradual changes.

 

[NWPlayer123]

Well I mean I'm working directly with him so it's not like we have to wait to use it It's just that it's not a priority when it's only me that can use them right now

how to extract images from a file .wud

 

[Mr. Mysterio]

how to extract images from a file .wud

To extract and decrypt all the files from a WUD, you need the common key and the title key. The title key most likely came with the WUD. You can find the common key using Google. Some images will be in the .tga format, which many image editors can open. Other images will be in the BFLIM format. These are much harder to convert. NWPlayer123 wrote a script to convert BFLIMs, but I have not been able to successfully use it.

how you extract

After you've opened the WUD in Uwizard, press the button "Extract Game Files" in the lower right corner. If that doesn't work, then it's possible that your key(s) are wrong. It should say "Verified as Correct by SHA1" by both the common key and the title key. (Although it may say "No SHA1 Found" for the title key.)

[NWPlayer123]

It's not usable to the average person, I'm waiting until I make it work right before I suggest it to anybody. For now, it's super experimental.
If you want it, use TexHaxU with the BFLIM script. Python 2, bflim.py file.bflim, try not to rename the file, you can edit the dds in paint.net.

 

[Mr. Mysterio]

Uwizard 1.1.2 is here!

I have added BFWAV decoding ability, and an MP3 encoder! It is also now a 32-bit application! You may either manually download Uwizard 1.1.2 here, or if you've already downloaded Uwizard, click the "Check For Updates" button in the "Settings" tab and it will automatically update while keeping your entered keys and settings!

Changes:
- BFWAV decoder added.
- MP3 compiler added.

The features I hope to add in the next version are:
- BFRES Decoder
- BFLIM Decoder
- WAV to BFSTM (and/or BFWAV) Compiler

I welcome any questions, suggestions, or comments! (or any other form of feedback that doesn't fall into one of those three categories )

Great update, Mysterio. Already using the MP3 function. Thanks for that.


Edit: Was making it a 32 bit application in order to make it compatible with a lot more machines?

 

[Mr. Mysterio]

Was making it a 32 bit application in order to make it compatible with a lot more machines?

Yes! I got some requests to make it work on 32-bit Windows XP machines. I don't have one to test it with, but it should work. Can you please tell me if it works for you Cyan? The only disadvantage is veeeery slightly slower processing speed. However, it shouldn't be noticeable. There is a small possibility that one of the programs contained within it (like DiscU) is actually 64-bit. In that case, only some features of Uwizard would work.

Oh, cool. I might be able to smack UWizard onto a thumbdrive and test it out on the computer I use at my school (I have full administrator access because A) My teacher likes me and B) He knows I'm good with computers). It's a semi-old 32 Bit XP machine running 7 with absolutely shit specs, so we shall see if it works

Thanks! If it does crash or anything, could you please post the crash logs and the name of the .exe that crashed?

 

[Crazc]

No problem. Again, this is a maybe. My teacher, although he likes me and knows I am somewhat competent with computers, is a bit of a stickler with what we run on the computers. I will probably be able to convince that I'm not doing anything illegal or something that could harm the computers at all.

Would UWizard provide me a crash log and name of the .exe that crashed? Silly question most likely, but eh.
