MKWii DSDL project

[bonzai]

Sorry if this doesn't belong on this board. Just move it.

Anyways, SSBB texture hacking gained a lot of popularity. So much, that a Wiird hacker created a code to make them commonplace.

In that time, MKWii textures came out.

Unfortunately, there is no [glow=red,2,300] Dynamic SD Loader[/glow] for MKWii.

So, since I'm bored, I figured I'd try my hand at trying to make one.


Okay, original SSBB DSDL 2.1b

Asterisks are lines I don't understand what they are doing.

I have outlined what needs to be done below:
Outline:
[] Disassemble 2.1b
[] Define in layman’s terms
[] find which parts are game specific
[] figure out how Phantom found those specifics
[] apply logic to MKWii
[] Create Code

And this is what I've disassembled so far:

If 805664EC not equal 0:
Write 4858BE20 to 8001BFE0
Set 00000038 byte string to 805A7E00:
If 16 bit equal 80610008:
idk
idk
Load into base address
Load into pointer
If 16bit equal:
idk
Loads several values into close locations
Begin String
If Greater
idk
Set Register
Terminate


Nevermind, I'll tweak the brawlsnapshot method for Miis.
Basically discuss this and I'll get an idea of what to do from here.

I really don't understand any of the technical stuff, so... Good luck! It looks like you've already made a fair amount of progress, I hope this comes to fruition.

I wanna do MKWii textures, ive actually been working on trying to be able to do them for a while now.

[bonzai]

Well, I've realized I've been trying to copy the wrong code. Unless MKWii actually uses the SD card, the DSDL idea won't work. However, there is a code I can copy.

Remember Y.S? He created a code to load .gct files through brawl snapshots.

So, change Y.S. into me, change brawl snapshot to Mii, and turn .gct files into other files...

The cool thing about using it like this is it is now possible to create such a loading scheme for any game using Miis for any reason, even profile icons!

Now I remember there being a way to create Miis without the channel, but I don't remember where. If you find it, tell me. I will give you 10% credit in this invention.

And gazoinks, to be honest, I barely understand it as well lol.

I was just looking at the mii-making thing yesterday. Give me a sec and I'll find it.

EDIT: Is this what you meant?
EDIT2: I'm not a coder, but if there's anything I can help with (Testing, etc.), I''d be glad to.

[mofo]

this sounds promising cuz i heard you can save your mii's to your wiimote and take out the .mii files and put into your computer via bluetooth. the change the .mii file to read as a .gct to load texture or something like that, idk

Yes and no. That is what I was looking for, but now I realize that doesn't help. *exhalts for helping*

I would gladly accept any help given. The way I see this, this is a two step process:

1. Actually load things in MKWii

2. Make "things" actually textures

Going along with what mofo said, step 1 will be tested with a .gct file. This step might be the only thing no one can help me with.

Step 2 will be tricky. I need to put the information in a <insert file extension for MKWii texture here> into a .mii file. Then I need to tell it where to load the information within that file.

For now, I'll focus on step 1. I have like 2,000 posts to read on the smashboards to figure it out though.

Edit: While I'm reading could someone hunt down how to load .mii files via bluetooth and a little guide on MKWii textures.

[gazoinks]

Here's a couple of things for Mii loading, hope it helps: Bam, bam, and bam

EDIT: Here's a guide for texturing. I'd recommend looking around gbatemp, they have lots of resources and guides. You might even be able to find someone to help you with the codes or the .gct.

Wow, that is the first time I've actually seen a MKWii texture. *talks to self* "You mustn't fail"
It's sad a bluetooth dongle is required . That limits the people who can use this. Oh well, I'll figure out something eventually. Thanks again Gazoinks, I can't think of anything more you can do for now. *exhalts*

[gazoinks]

No problem. I'm glad to help such an awesome project. As I've said before, I really hope this succeeds.
