I want to modify it by adding the translated roms of Zelda, Zelda II and Ocarina.
Because the only translated game is Majoras Mask, does anyone know what the file system is like?

Here's what I'm talking about, the rom comes in opening.bnr
This even opens up a huge range of ROM injections into the NGC and Wii

That's not the rom, opening.bnr is the game's animation banner (when you click on a channel in the Wii menu it shows an animation with background music, that's the opening.bnr). The rom must be somewhere else.

I don't have the iso of the game but if you could take a screenshot of the game files folder it might help you find out where the rom is located.

here is the schematic, the roms are in tgc, when I extract it to gcn, and open it, it is in brn format

You have to convert those tgc files to gcm with a program called tgctogcm.exe. Then open the gcm with gctool and you should see the roms in their normal format.

The roms are compressed in tgc format but it must be converted to gcm so that the complete rom of the game can be extracted.
I've already explained to you what to do, if you doubt what I am telling you so I have nothing more to say.

Good luck!

I'm not doubting it, what I'm saying is that the rom is inside BNR

the only thing inside gcm is the BNR file, outside of it there is nothing else, what you would need is a program that opens or decrypts the BNR file

When I open the GCM file in Dolphin, I can start the game, which shows me that the blessed rom is inside BNR

Extraction problem solved, the only program that could extract is Gamecube File Tools, inside there are the files: apploader, bi2, boot, fst, main.dol

Dude I told you that bnr is part of the console file system, I don't understand why you insist on that. The roms are the TGC files which you have to use the tgctogcm program to convert them to that format so you can extract the entire roms.
The files apploader, boot, main.dol, etc are files belonging to the console system, you will not find anything interesting there.

It turns out that the program doesn't recognize anything other than opening.bnr, the program I used was the one I read on Github and it recognizes other files within GCM

question answered, it turns out that the roms are hidden in the BNR, and apparently the same emulator was used in Animal Crosing and uses the same method, in which it is hidden in the banner, I'm going to try the Animal Crossing tool, but my idea was to let Zelda Collections 100% Spanish

The ROM files are just embedded in the main DOL for those NES emulators, you might think they're in the BNR but they aren't since those lie at a specific spot and are a specific size.
What tool can I use to decode the DOL and then replace the ROM?
I was thinking about BNR because the extractor only showed the BNR and when I start in dolphin, dolphin starts the rom perfectly

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • 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)

    run h2testw on it
