Hey everyone,
I am working on Wii VC injections since the last 1.5 yrs, made about 250 injects for several systems like MEGA DRIVE, MASTER SYSTEM, NES, SNES, N64, MSX/MSX2, PCE-HU Card, GB, GBC, GBA and now I work on injecting Arcade games into existing VC wad files.
I managed to locate the files in the corresponding folders, seen on the pics below:
This shows a JPN host wad structure:
1.) This shows the extracted wad and whats inside, until now VC Arcade games have been uninjectable bc we did not know where the rom file is located.
2.) This shows the folder which holds the rom file, finally some progress on this heh?
Some more progress here, just unpacked a NTSCU VC Arcade wad and found that they are pretty similar to SMS wads lol.
This shows a NTSCU host wad structure:
1.) As above the extracted wad and contents.
2.) The folder which holds the rom file
Now onto the problem, the file which holds the game rom file(s) is definatly the zaxxon.rso.zlib(incase of the USA version of Zaxxon).
I need a program, or help in finding a program which can unpack and repack this kind of files.
I know about zlib library but as we inspected the file further, it came out that it has no compression at all, furthermore zlib itself cannot unpack it.
Next thing weird is that the .rso, I know that .rso files are commonly sound files which are changed to .rso, some kind of container I guess.
All in all it sums up like this: The file in question isnt zlib'd, ccftool just adds zlib to the end of file to show that it WAS zlib, the rso file just looks like some sort of container which we need to open up.
Your help is welcome, hope we can sort this out soon
If anyone wants to have a look, here is the file in question: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3565461/zaxxon.rso.zlib
Thx
