Hacking Wii U Menu Discoveries

But sdcafiine shouldnt be the solution it would just increase the autoboot time XD

I tried a few weeks ago to change the wii and the disc channel icon, I use a game icon, so its verified, but all icons (in a folder there are this icons: disc channel, Wii channel, when the game shows an ?, the updater) have some bytes that verified icons don't have, so I added them. I packed with SARCPack and I replaced it in redNAND with WUP server but it doesn't work, when I tried to load redNAND it freezes so I had to restore...
So how do you pack it @Mega-Mew ?
Bye and Happy Christmas!

Ask @dimok for a build-kn Cafiine in Mocha or make a PR, I asked him for something for custom themes before, but since custom themes are not a thing atm, well... idk

 

[lebrawurschd]

i dont care about themes at all im spending about zero time at the menu since im only using my wii u for a link to the past randmizer atm XD

Archives: Yaz0 compressed SARC http://mk8.tockdom.com/wiki/SARC_(File_Format) as *.szs
Common Data Format: BYAML (unlike SMG1/2 which uses BCSV) http://mk8.tockdom.com/wiki/BYAML_(File_Format)
Layouts: szs with a .lyarc file which is really just an SARC file, which contains BFLAN (animations), BFLYT (Layout), and BFLIM (Images).
Models: BFRES with KCL and BYML data
Text: MSBT (Like SMG1/2)
Fonts: BFFNT
Shaders: BFSHA

Hope this is helpeful info

Hello there, i also tried editing the Men2.pack file (the LoungeFloor.szs specifically) but i can't get it to show up. I don't know what im doing wrong with my Cafiine setup, @Mega-Mew some enlightenment would be appreciated and if you could also share the tools you're used to make yours. Thanks in advance

Interestingly, in Men2.pack I found that common/model/BannerSysTex.szs contains DiscAppIcon. This is the icon that shows when there isn't any disc in the Wii U.

I'm compressing and packing the file as I type this with an edited icon and will post results

I tried it without good results, (I had to reinject the entire redNAND) I compared the Art Academy icon with this "specials" icons, and they are different, I used SARCExtract, SARCPack, Yaz0enc, yaz0dec and Byaml to XML I packed everything, I changed the .pack file with WUPServer but nothing, if you want to try other thing...
Bye!

Yeah, sysNAND shows no results and redNAND just freezes...same results as you

And if we make a group to investigate this, and how to do it, see the "special icons" in HxD, try with other tools... Or do the same that Mega New? (He modified the WaraWara Plaza floor, video it's above)
Bye!

I won't post advances/news in Wii u Menu Custom Themes, I only said to Convour the idea of investigate it, I don't want post other things in your post, sorry
And OK, if you want I create it, say me something to say in the main post, or I will do it when I have something
Bye and Happy Christmas!

I'm ok if you all post things 'bout themes, but if you do, do a theme thread, things will be more noticed
