    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    I tried tinfoil but dexterity fail. I didn't even power it on with the tinfoil in place because I couldn't fold it well. I tried two different jigs neither worked. I tried the wire method last, that worked. I used the middle screw for ground. I used a constantan 22 awg stranded if anyone cares...

    Hacking Trails/Kiseki modding

    Bugfix in falcom_compress. It should work now. Converts png256 to itp. For basic usage, you output your target image normally and then quantize it using a quantizer program, then feed it into this tool. I used pngquant as my quantizer.

    Hacking Trails/Kiseki modding

    You have to port the "V" code (part of 55/5C/5D microcodes) from Ao. Sounds quite difficult but probably not impossible. There is a PlaySound (0x23, I think) microcode in Zero which you can probably piggyback to make it work. The basic idea is to compile and execute a 0x23 microcode with its...

    Hacking currently translating unchained blades exxiv

    Trying to translate the text of the main menu: I think the file is mn_top_menu.gim, 23kb Extracting using gimconv gives the following output: Here is the output file: I put two versions of it (the black is inverted color version) because the white doesn't show up well on the forum. The...

    Hacking Trails/Kiseki modding

    I want to get rid of the black borders when the movies play. All of the movies are full frame 480x272 but the "event scene indicator" (black bars on the top and bottom) obscures part of them. Any idea how hard this is to do? I think it wouldn't be so hard to remove all the black bars throughout...

    Hacking Trails/Kiseki modding

    I have a solution for ITP<->PNG. 1) Edit your image. You need to preserve transparency in your image editing program. I recommend editing in RGB mode. 2) Using pngquant or some quantizer program (I think there are many) to convert to PNG256. Basically just a PNG with color depth 8 and indexed...

    Hacking How do I get started on hacking a PSP game?

    For PGD files: Did you Google? What (phrase) did you Google? What did you try that didn't work? I haven't actually worked with PGD files before but I Googled and several of the top hits looked promising. For CPK files you need CRI Filesystem. Copyrighted software, so you're on your own for...

    Hacking RomHacking in Tales of Destiny 2

    I'm not really asking for advice, just trying to show the progress. I think this is the routine decoding the double-byte characters. It gives a return value as an index into that letters table I'll refer to as "0001.bin" (second file in the big archive). So we can use that to decode. To clarify...

    Hacking RomHacking in Tales of Destiny 2

    I'll post in that other thread when I have a tool that's working good. That makes sense now. My next question was about LZSS and LZSS + RLE. My understanding was these are not algorithms but ideas that different compression tools use. I am actually familiar with both ideas so I don't need an...

    Hacking RomHacking in Tales of Destiny 2

    I tried this and could not do it. Red: offset of first file? Orange: I noticed that there is this much padding at the end of the first file. The first file appears to end at 0x48BB4 and the second file starts at 0x49000, there is exactly 0x44C between those. Does not appear to be the offset of a...

    Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    I was in-game after playing for many days using sleep mode after each session. I push home and it locks up. Rebooted and home menu wouldn't load, but it eventually did load after about 2 minutes. I cold booted again and this time it took 5 seconds to boot. Any idea what's going on?
