Hacking WAD Packer v0.0001 released!!!

[[Truth]]

could anyone just compare in HEX the cert.sys and title.cert found in version 1 and see if they are similar? then maybe try renaming the cert.sys to title.cert...

SHA1 Hash:
title.cert - ace0f15d2a851c383fe4657afc3840d6ffe30ad0
CERT.SYS - e508784de7c84ad790036e655e2079c9074eb372

uhm...2062 bytes diff,498 match,2560 total..so not really similar
there must be a universal .cert file though..or else the wad packed releases wouldnt have worked on our systems..

 

[The Frenchman]

but could that be different because it's for different titles or does that make it significantly different to be 2 complete different types of file? (I don't know much about HEX, just guessing.)

 

[The Frenchman]

I guess while I wait for NTSC VC games everything will be smoother and well known...

Can anyone PM me a link to the common-key.bin

Thanks in advance

Just a thought...shouldn't every title have it's own .cert file anyway?

This is what I get when I pack my NTSC Pokemon Snap (maybe Mario Kart64 >< )

However when I try to install it on the wii it doesn't work.
Oh and the WAD it made is about 29.1MB so im not sure what the actual size should be.

at the bottom , it says wad title successfully created, I hope you enjoy congratulations

so theres no reason for these to be wrong , its obviously something we're over looking..


common-key.bin..

Says something about it here - http://tinyurl.com/3rkts5

the packer could pack anything if named right.... it just won't work on the wii.

Sure enough -- the cert file is a TMD file like the ones you can get at darkfader.net. Try with the TMD matching the game.

 

[The Frenchman]

a tmd? then why is it used when the first DKC2 release already had a tmd file? I mean, why would you need a tmd and a cert file if they're the same?

 

[spuderump]

mine worked fine DK1

Found this on the net:

Download goes like this, you select the game, click "Download", the Wii connects to proper servers,
checks your Wii points, then it sends you to the download location. A "TMD" file gets downloaded,
followed by the rest of the data. Then the Wii combines
the TMD with the rest of the data to create a proper Channel (content.bin).

dunno how this would help...

Nice one mate!, it must be something that links the ticket to the game or .cert file. Maybe the title.cert needs to be linked to each individual game before packing into a WAD?

(i removed dkj from system,then installed it via wad installer)

When you removed dkj from system, did you use the wad uninstaller that completely removes your already valid ticket?

and please let us know, what title.cert file did you use?

 

[The Frenchman]

I'm betting he used his one one that got created when he unpacked his VC channel game.

but all the cert file talk is kinda useless as unpacked games will be VERY rare from now on as they release vc games in wad as of now. I bet if anyone wants to create a WAD of something else then creating a cert will be useful but I don,t know abut all that.
