Hey,
I wanted to ask if anyone knows where the "save data" in a game disc is stored. I'm talking about the banner and text displayed in the Wii settings. Or is it maybe different in every game? Also... is it possible to edit the text and/or banner displayed there? (No, not the save file which is on the wii, but the file in the game that creates that save and "puts" it on the Wii)

It´s most likely that it is for every game different but try to look after "memcard" or "save" directory and then look after the banner.tpl (it´s the banner graphic)

It's possible to edit but it will be defaulted to the one on the game disc everytime you make a new save...

To edit, unpack the save file (data.bin), change the images and repack...

It is stored in the opening.bnr which contains the banner of the channel, the sound and the save logo

This is the "00000000.app" of a channel.

He wants to edit the "default" one on the game disc.

He did say "No, not the save file which is on the wii..."

My bad, I didn't notice that part in the post...

Ah, thx guys.
Well, my only guess is that it's in a "logo.bin" file because there is nothing called like banner, save, mem or sth like that. But I dunno how to extract it... In Hex-Editor it starts with "MSCF" and a bit later there is "logo.tpl". I also have some other files using the same format (well, at least MSCF at the beginning too) which I would really like to extract... Anyone knows how? FE100 failed, U8extr failed, dunno what else to try.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
