Yo-Kai Watch RomFS only shows audio and movies, even though there should be more. #35

Closed jewelmahou closed 5 years ago

jewelmahou commented 5 years ago

This happens for all 3 main games. Affected titles: Yo-kai Watch Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits Yo-kai Watch 2: Fleshy Souls Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters Yo-kai Watch 3: Sushi Yo-kai Watch 3: Tempura Yo-kai Watch 3: Sukiyaki Yo-kai Watch 3 (International release)

I have not tested the side games.

Directory in fuse3ds:

Capture

This directory shows audio and movies. It should contain more than just that, including graphics, models, textures, dialogue, etc. No other directory in the game (that I can find) would make sense to hold those files instead.

I have tried the following: Godmode9 decryption Dumping my own cartridges

ihaveamac commented 5 years ago

It is highly unlikely to be a different RomFS format where the files are somewhere else. I would guess most of the data would be in yw1_a.fa for this game. If you're sure it's not, please check with other tools like GodMode9, ctrtool, or 3dstool.

Sorry, I am inexperienced. How would I look into yw1_a.fa ? Edit: I searched .fa format, and I find things about being used in science to store DNA data. Which wouldn't be the case here, so do you know of anything else to open it with?

luigoalma commented 5 years ago

It's a format specific to the game, of which I don't know myself what it is. Also those are all the files of the game's romfs, with ctrtool too

ihaveamac commented 5 years ago

Most games have unique formats that need extra tools to extract, and most of the other assets are likely to be in this large file. I wouldn't know what tools are needed to extract this unfortunately. In any case, this is unlikely to be a fuse-3ds issue.

you can open the files in Karameru, a program inside of Kuriimu
