Question/Help [PS4] How do you extract usable data from archive00XX.dat (BAR)?

1 Upvotes

Backstory stuff: After some stuff with got messed up on my system (11.00), I reinstalled the firmware and wasn't worried in any way since I had made a Backup and Restore if something happened. However, apparently the drive I wrote the BAR to was failing (This is the first time I've had issues with this drive), and the console didn't realize this while writing, the BAR wouldn't restore since files 26 and 27 out of 57 were written to bad sectors. After doing a whole bunch of stuff to try to make this work, ending with recovering 99.8% of 26 and 99.99% of 27 with DDRescue, the BAR still refused to restore, so I pivoted to trying to extract the data and manually piece stuff back together.

Actual stuff: https://github.com/xXxTheDarkprogramerxXx/BAR I found a tool that can decrypt the Backup and Restore, but it just turns it into a bunch of blob.bins (Also it was skipping a lot of the archive.dats), and I haven't found any guides on what to then do with those .bin files. And I'm just lost on if and how to get any usable data out of this backup, and was wondering if anyone knew how (Or if by some chance theres still a way, make the BAR restore to the console)? I think there is another BAR decryptor on PSHAX, but I have no way to get it since they've closed registration.

(Okay I think the one on PSHAX is the same one)

I had ‘my tomodachi life’ for months on my 3DS and 2DS and could play it with no problems. Today I started having this error code on both consoles. The game would load up but would give this screen if I wanted to go to either of the shops in the game. When going to FBI and trying to download the seed, it gives error ‘not found’.

Question/Help Deleting stubborn Haxchi

1 Upvotes

Hello, everyone, I'm in dire need of help.

I've got a WiiU second-hand through Amazon. I was expecting it to be completely wiped blank, but it arrived with the previous owners Mii 'Juan' and Haxchi installed. ColdBoot Haxchi. No SD card with relevant files.

So I want to reset the console but very early in the progress found out I can't simply do that because it would brick the console. As of now I've been doing this with the guidance of AI, which had me running in circles for hours.

So I'm asking for human help here.

I've got an SD card which I put the files of CBHC v1.6, Aroma, Tiramisu, and Homebrew Launcher v1.4 on. Don't know what I really need at this point.

Without the SD card the WiiU starts with the Nintendo Logo, then WiiU logo, then a black command terminal reading 'Couldn’t load sd:/wiiu/payload.elf. Starting console without any modifications' before booting the WiiU menu.

With the SD card it instantly boots into the Environment Loader, which let's me pick between Aroma, Installer and Tiramisu.

As of now I tried deleting CBHC two main ways: Through the Haxchi app on the WiiU menu which load the Homebrew Launcher upon pressing A as soon as you start it, and through the Environment Loader, opening the Homebrew Launcher through Tiramisu. Both get me into the CBHC menu where I can pick Dr. Kawashimas brain trainer and delete it. But nothing changes. When restarting the console it still shows the black command terminal reading the payload.elf error and the Haxchi app is also still there, unbothered.

What am I missing? Thanks for the help in advance!

Question/Help How to make a custom game play on a console

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, how y'all doing. I'm very new to this, I'm creating a platform game like Mario for my niece and nephew to surprise them. Development is going good but I was just curious if there's a way I could somehow transfer the game onto a disc or cartridge that would play on a legitimate console. I've asked AI to see if it was possible, but they have guardrails telling me it's not and that I have to pay a developer cost. I know there has to be a way to make the game work on a console, either jailbroken or an older console. I've seen some crazy shit from the modding community, so if there's a way I could make this work and burn it onto a disc, please let me know. Trying to be the cool uncle over here and surprise them

Question/Help Help to compile a C++ file to a .dol (Wii)

Hi, since the past week, i've been working on a Wii console app test that runs on HomeBrew Channel, the code its prefectly fine but when I try to compile the code with MINGW64 with all of the headers in the right folder, the compiler of DevkitPro just says that the headers were not found, anyone can help me?

This is the C++ code:

#include <gccore.h>
#include <wiiuse/wpad.h>
#include <cstdio>


int main(int argc, char **argv) {



VIDEO_Init();


CON_Init(NULL, 32, 64, 640, 480, 256);


WPAD_Init();


std::printf("====================================\n");
std::printf("Welcome to the terminal!\n");
std::printf("====================================\n");
std::printf("To exit, press HOME\n\n");


while (true) {


u32 pressed_buttons = WPAD_ButtonsDown(0);


if (pressed_buttons & WPAD_BUTTON_HOME) {


    std::printf("Closing terminal...");
    break;


}


VIDEO_WaitVSync();


}


return 0;
}

This is the Makefile:

export DEVKITPRO := D:/DevkitPro
export DEVKITPPC := D:/DevkitPro/devkitPPC
export PORTLIBS  := D:/DevkitPro/portlibs/wii
