Official Brawl Game Disc Ripping Thread: File Structure up! Stages! ATs! Roster!

[susu_atari]

Yeeeaaaah

This is pretty good news.

 

[AmericanDragon]

Dude, A soundtrack rip would be the greatest thing ever! But... I wonder if I even have space left on my computer for it. D:

Brawl will most likely have over a hundred songs at least. How big, file size wise, is one Wii song?

Based on Galaxy music I suppose, at least.

Each song should be the size of a normal MP3.

 

[Garuda]

Is there any chance in converting models to .3ds format? I would really like to know, as I use 3DS Max.

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

I find it hilarious that we'll have the complete soundtrack an entire month before the game is even out here.

 

[gunterrsmash01]

It's already possible to backup wii games onto your comp. So I'm guessing this will allow to actually rip specific data from the isos?

 

[MilesPrower]

Does this mean we'll be seeing downloadable ripped Galaxy music along with WarioWare and Rayman and such?

 

[ShadowLink84]

Just because of you, Nintendo's going to go back to fix Brawl's order so you can't decrypt it.
I would hate that if that happened, but otherwise props to you.

I hate it when people say such things.
Nintendo can make it really difficult to decrypt the disc but that doesn't mean it is impossible.
That and they are a bit lazy when it comes to the prevention of bad hacks.

Each song should be the size of a normal MP3.

Well, if that's the case it shouldn't be so bad. But I've got a few .flac files that are pretty large.

Out of curiosity, what file extension is the Wii music? Is it .mp3?

Not sure, but I would imagine that whoever rips the songs will convert them into a compact format such as mp3.

That is because flac is lossless compression. But I am sure whoever rips the soundtrack will convert the files to MP3 or OGG or some small format, even if only for the sake of uploading (to save time, since it usually takes even longer than downloading depending on your connection).

 

[ShortFuse]

Good news! Mario Galaxy ripped! Music is in AST format and playable with in_cube http://www.hcs64.com/in_cube.html
I could convert to MP3.

Videos are in THP Format!!! Playable with ffdShow codec! This means cutscenes will be directly ripped before unlocking!!!

By the way, I was looking at the melee disc and each character has his own name. sweet.

 

[LeeHarris]

Haha, are you sure you wrote an image reader, or did you just write a GUI for an existing one?

I was hoping this would never happen actually. The only things it will be good for is removing garbage filler from an ISO or online cheating. It may be used to find an exploit to run Wii homebrew, but that has already happened without the need for a game exploit.

Now we will have to regulate players who are cheating online. Sucks.

Ooh, my creative senses are tingling.

I think... I want to make a SSE AMV XD. I haven't even played the game yet, and I know I want to do that now. =p Only other game I've ever felt strongly enough about to do one of those for was a whole Series. Suikoden was pretty great.

Woohoo, Project plans for Late March/April. *laugh*

It still depends on if Brawl uses the known streaming formats we see other games use.

But along the music isn't sequenced, Brawl's music will be made playable on PCs.

And speaking of Mario Galaxy, listening to the Final Battle music without sound effects = bliss

 

[LeeHarris]

I just read up on it, apparently it only decrypts the disc which allows for the reading of files. This is good actually. The Wii discs have a signature based on the contents of a disc. If you change any kind of file on the disc it breaks the signature that the game has stored. It appears they haven't found a way to overwrite the signature yet.

Yay

 

[Garuda]

Where can I find this decryptor? .......I'm sorry, I am REALLY n00bish to this kind of stuff.

 

[Japanese Monk]

As much as this excites me because the prospect of ALL of SSBB secrets being revealed Im also a little worried.

This is like opening the pandora's box. Although technically its already been opened and if shortfuse doesnt do it now for us, someone else can and will.

I just hope there are ways to prevent cheating online. Because THAT WOULD SUCK.

 

[-Risky-]

Okay, I didn't read the whole thread, so sorry if this has been asked

But is there any way this can be used to de-region-lock the game?

I'm absolute noobcake with this sort of thing but I'm in a PAL region and I'd kill to get it the same time you guys do.

So. . . can it?

 

[brandutt845]

How do you listen to the Music, Short Fuse? I clicked the link, but how do you listen to it?

Yes, but you'd have to have a modded Wii to play the modified ISO, and since most modchips already defeat region locking it would be redundant.

 

[Rodriguezjr]

That would be very nice. I can't wait to hear what music is in the game.

 

[ShortFuse]

I wrote my OWN GCM Reader and NDS reader. I never released them. I wrote DS-X Manager (if you've heard of it) and I was the one who wrote the opensource NDS ROM Trimmer.

This tool (WiiED by Crediar) only decrypts but people have repackaged games. Decrypt, Modify, Encrypt, Play on Wii. This allows homebrew and hacks.

 

[Anth0ny]

Music would be awesome. Please rip some!

 

[Maplestory]

Hmm. I wonder if we had our Wii modded, maybe we could edit the game, burn it, and then use it? That would be nice, if someone actually could make a character (Which is near impossible solo at an amateur level, I guess), that would be pretty sweet if we could implement our own things into brawl.

yes, but probably way too difficult. you could already technically do that with melee...

 

[Zink]

WAIT hold eveything. forget the music. See if there's a dev mode. Hopefully an accessable one. We need hitboxes, man. How cool would it be if we could rip the hitboxes and animations right off the disc?

 

[Brenco55]

I hope i come acroos hackers online just to see how cool the hacks they come up with are! i dont even care that i'd lose

Listen to this man!

He is wise

And LeeHarris, cheers

 

[Lance87]

Lol, I don't see the point in cheating online... those scrubs would get their faces duct taped to walls and ***** at a tournament.

 

[DreamFiend633]

So when can we expect the rip info?

BTW, do you have the game disc or something? Because if you do, why don't you put in your Wii?!? If you have a modded Wii that is.

 

[CreamPuffDoom]

Soundtrack and Cutscene would be really amazing. I hope that you could possibly do this, as I am sure the community would benefit from it

 

[LavisFiend]

I do not believe your power is as authentic as you say it is.

I'll be watching you.

 

[FSLink]

Wow, this should be very interesting. Hopefully we'll find a Debug Menu still in there. :D
...Though hopefully Brawl's several delays mean not many leftovers. It would suck to find unfinished parts of the game and wonder what could have been (FE level in SSBM...). But I'd love to see parts they scrapped or used for testing (yay for test level in SSBM). >_>

 

[Titan05]

*bows* you, sir, are awesome. I'll be waiting for the music

 

[Crispy4001]

So since we're on the topic of decrypting things, is there any possible way of altering the Save data from an SD card? Specifically, the Friend Codes. It would be a huge time saver if someone wrote an App where I could manage FCs directly on the computer.

 

[Eternalfire]

Could you also rip Galaxy's music to an mp3 format? I've been looking for an OST, but I am out of luck.

 

[kobefox2485]

you want to copy the games music??

 

[Tiamat475]

Here you go.

On Topic:

That'll make my day! I hope the soundtrack/cutscenes become available shortly after the release.

You're the best Shortfuse! With your contributions to the community.

 

[Masloff]

could you even get the PC vocies and sound efxs up for download? (mugen development purposes)
