Hacking VCFE Wip...

Once you created the SNES Save banner, just unpack the 00000005.app and place the banner.tpl in there.

 

[MorPhiend]

Here is the process I used before:

1. Run "WAD Unpacker.bat" to unpack "in.wad".
2. Use "U8Tool10.1" to extract "00.app".
3. Use "U8Tool10.1" to extract "banner.bin".
4. Use "U8Tool10.1" to extract "icon.bin".
5. Use "brlyt tool" to edit the "banner.brlyt".
6. Use "Save Icon Maker" to make the three icons.
7. Place "banner.tpl" in extracted WAD.
8. Place "VCPic.tpl" in banner_bin_OUT>arc>timg.
9. Place "IconVCPic.tpl" in icon_bin_OUT>arc>timg.
10. Use "U8Tool10.1" to pack "banner.bin". (Delete recursive folders, Use LZ77 compresion, IMD5)
11. Use "U8Tool10.1" to pack "icon.bin". (Delete recursive folders, Don't use LZ77 compresion, IMD5)
12. Use "U8Tool10.1" to pack "00.app". (Delete recursive folders, Don't use LZ77 compresion, IMET)
13. Use "Save Icon and Save Title Injector", select "SNES", source is banner.tpl in extracted WAD, target is 01.app, change "SNES Save" to the title of my WD, click "Set ALL".
14. Use "WAD Packer" to re-pack all app's, cert, tik, tmd and trailer files.

When I tried this before my other post, all went fine until it gave me that error at step 13. I ended up with a functioning WAD with a blurry icon on the Wii Menu, a crisp icon on the next screen and a default SNES save icon.

I just tried RS's suggestion (thanks a ton!). After step 12 I used "U8Tool10.1" to unpack "05.app", copied the "banner.tpl" from the extracted WAD to the extracted "05.app", then re-packed it. I did step 13 and 14 with no errors!

But now I have a channel with a blurry icon on the Wii Menu, a clear icon on the next screen, a clear (but tiny) save icon with a correct title, but when you click on the save it shows the title, plus the old DKC2 sub-title (Diddy's Kong Quest).

I made the .png 256x192. Isn't that the right dimensions? If anyone has any further input on the blurry Wii Menu icon or the sub-title of the game save, let me know. In the meantime, I'm going to experiment with using a smaller image for the save icon instead of the title screen.

And I don't know if these Q's I have are issues that would be helpful for HC to hear in order to iron out problems, or if I'm just plain dumb for not being able to figure them out. If there is a better thread for me to post this, let me know. Thanks.

I have a problem with Save Inject. When I select the 01.app for the SNES, it crashes with the error "Run-Time Error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument" It won't crash if I select the app file with another Console selected.

Additional information: I have the FM20.dll in the folder, along with the zip file and application. I injected Earthbound into DKC2 using this tutorial.

TIA,

EDIT: Nevermind, I used a hex editor and stuff. It would be nice to have an answer anyways.
EDIT EDIT: Nevernevermind. It didn't work. I think if I had Save Inject working, the rest would work.

Does a tutorial exist on how to use that tools on p1?

regards

 

[jaceguay]

everytime i click Inject in save icon injector it gives Run-time error '76': Path not found, and if I choose Genesis as a console and click the file brower button in source Tpl it goes to the folder choose screen and not the file choose.
Any ideas what I can do?

You know how in certain SNES WADs you can only use one line instead of two lines for the "Save Name"? Well, that's pretty easy to fix to allow the use of both lines in any SNES WAD.

In the "00000001.app" file, locate the save name. Just after the space for the second line, you will notice a hex value that says either "1A" or "1B". See blue circle in image below:

If the hex value is set to:
1A = Displays both lines of text
1B = Only displays the first line of text

I found out that save inject for SNES/SFC games is working like that: unpack your wad, then open the 00000005.app with u8 tool, run save injector, select tpl and 00000001.app, set the save text, save and hit inject. You will see it works this way

Dont forget to repack the 00000005.app

Pack wad with wwpacker and install.

Enjoy your inject with save banner and text

Does anybody have a FUNCTIONAL mirror for these tools? I just spent 4 hours hex editing text into a wad. >_

Judging by the apparent replacement, I'm guessing this doesn't need the "CCF Tools" program. You are a live saver. Many thanks.

EDIT: Uh.. never mind that previous statement, I actually still can't find a way to extract the CCF file. =/ (Injecting a Genesis rom)

[LWares87]

HowardC Wii iNJECT Tools

ps - I left the GBA save icons i made for 0C GBx iNJECTS in the VCIcon8.0 folder if anyone has a use for them

 

[gootube2000]

I realize that this is an outdated topic, but would anyone happen to know why I'm getting the following error on VC brlyt?

"Component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"
p.s. Yes, I Googled it.

Edit2: Download Microsoft ActiveX Control Pad to get this to work. In some cases it may need more setup.

 

[BITBURGER]

Can anyone upload the tools again mega is dead

 

[cearp]

Where i can find a tpl editor 2.0?
