The Amazing Spiderman-2 android modding /gameloft obb

BillyButcher posted a topic in Discussion and Help, November 14

I'm new to modding and I want to modify the game characters in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for Android. However, there isn't a QuickBMS script available for this game. I tried unpacking it normally, but the zip file only contains a limited number of files. I also attempted to decompile the APK to search for any keys, but it's quite challenging. i have attached the smali file for reference,Can anyone help me to proceed further?

Help: Issues decompressing unknown-LZO compressed data (.ghx2)

beanieaxolotl posted a topic in Compressed files and methods, August 28

Figured this was the best place to post this: my original post is here.

I am currently having difficulty on trying to decompress the LZO data from a .ghx2 file, or the original project file for music made with the GAX Sound Engine.
I would like to be able to decompress the data so I can easily reverse-engineer the sequence data format.

The only known "decompressors" I can find readily available are GAXPlay.exe and GAX.ocx.

I could not find any matching LZO algorithms for the data; QuickBMS didn't find any matches (even with brute-forcing). The few LZO decompression executables that I could find didn't even know what to do.

The LZO data is unheadered (i.e no LZOD header). I have separated the relevant data into a .bin file.

Dragon quest Heroes I and II for nintendo switch (english port)

elMamuton posted a topic in Game Localization, April 22

Would anyone like to help with the project to port the English translation of Dragon Quest Heroes to Switch? I managed to extract part of the files from linkdata.bin and now I have numerous .dat and some .gt1 files that I managed to extract and obtain the game's textures. However, I need help from someone more experienced with Koei Tecmo games to move forward.

A little context:

The game was never localized into English on the Nintendo Switch, in addition the console has some content exclusive to this version.

Why am I trying this?

I'm Brazilian and I don't have a lot of money, whenever I have access to consoles it's through second-hand devices. I played Dragon Quest Heroes for the first time on Psvita using an incomplete translation and that made me fall in love with the franchise and today I try to play all the games I can get my hands on. I would like to localize the Switch version so that in the future these games can also serve as entrance for other players.

Reverse Engineering Tutorials Collection

ikskoks posted a topic in Tutorials, October 30, 2023

Hello. I would like to share with you my private tutorial links collection. These are
useful topics from Xentax, Zenhax and any other reverse engineering related sites that
I was able to find in the Internet. I have put them into categories.
You may encounter situation when one tutorial fits to few categories, but it is placed
only in the category that it fits most. Also, you may encounter tutorials with "[PL]" mark,
these are tuts in Polish language. If you don't understand this language, just skip them.

Also be aware that I haven't read/watch some of these tutorials yet, so I can't recommend you
which tutorial is the best choice, sometimes I'm still learning new things just like you
and on this list you may find tuts that are not very useful for you, so don't blame
me for that. 🙂 Just pick your favourite category and start learning.
If you are complete newbie, I would recommend to start with tuts from category
"Basic knowledge".

If you have any other good source of knowledge, you can write a comment below
and I will update this tutorials collection.

Also remember that those links may be dead some day, so don't blame me for that
and just make a copy for private use 🙂

So that's it. Enjoy. 😄
