This i think the only VC with patches is sins and punishemnt becuase of the jap translation.
well there will most likely be a few, megaman battle network had patches applied, but that was for extra items or something, then there is the obvious ones like luigi bros, and super luigi bros bonus games (not that those are VC titles, but they run in pretty much the same emulator as VC games)...i guess its worth a look if someone already has the game, but tbh i doubt they will have done anything to it

Hiccup, if you're thinking the patches the VC applies are modifications to the game (like textures etc), they're not in most cases (I think ZeldaOoT on Wii had the gcube textures patched in), they're so the game runs correctly.

Yeah, It might be a stock ROM, but I wanted to know for sure.
for the vc games that have the rom embedded in the rpx, use hykem's rpl2elf to decrypt the rpx, and you can probably rip the rom out and compare with a scene dump.

Fairly sure I looked before and Zelda was the same as scene rom. Might have been NES Remix though.

nsmb is a ds game its on room.zip not on the rpx.

No, in general, I was correct. If the rom is embedded in the RPX, it's likely possible to rip it using rpl2elf. Just because that's currently only nes and snes, doesn't mean that my statement is untrue or false.

If he doesn't want the information, fine somebody else will. I only tagged him because he wanted to do it with a DS game, MEANING he might be interested in other information (figured id better edit and explain, le sigh). But it's ok, I'll let you two answer everyone's questions then.

Ok so, since AlttP is 1MB I should get this one, if that's the biggest on Wii U VC so far.


Will ROM hacks work for injection? Super Mario World Practice ROM V6.0 to exact. Into AlttP.

Thanks.

snes is very wierd, some games work depending on the VC, for instance some games work in super metroid 3mb while same games dont work on dkc(4 mb) snes is very wierd to say something will work or not, only testing can tell but yeah try a big rom of your VC of choice.

I was just trying the SNES injection out. I bought harvest moon on the eshop title but I have tried quite a few roms mainly Super Mario World and the All Stars pack and all I get is a black screen on the reset, this is using Fix94's app? is this normal or am I doing something wrong my end?

I see the issue its HM the rom size is to small compared to the others so what I need is a large snes title to begin with? I didn't realize this when I first bought HM :(.

well who knows what they hardcoded for that game, remenber be on the VC menu before using the injector, when the injector says transfer complete hit reset, if it works it works if it doesnt it doesnt, remenber you cant inject bigger roms.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
