Tomodachi Life (3DS) .bin files

[Times New Woman]

Yep, it's me again. The annoying one.

Someone left a message in a discord server I'm in about how to mod the files of Tomodachi Life. I looked into it...

...every single file is inside a .bin file. Every model, every message data file, everything.
SPICA doesn't read the ones containing the models, I can't import custom textures with Ohana, Karameru does absolutely nothing and I haven't got any tools to extract/repackage the archives themselves.

Do any preexisting scripts for other games open the files (example file attached) or would it need a new script entirely?

decompressing script for quickbms:

Code: Select all

comtype lz77wii
get SIZE asize
get NAME basename
clog NAME 0 SIZE SIZE

So I assume I just decompress with BatchLZ77 now? Or what? Because the files ripped appear to be .lz files, but they have no extensions.
Edit: BatchLZ77 doesn't work with them, plus the header reads "CGFX".

I guess that CGFX is a container for graphic data, maybe try to search it on google or post in the Graphics section.

...Also, reimport refuses to work when used with the .bin script. So that happened.

Do you need to create a compressed bin?
Try this script:

Code: Select all

comtype DS_LZX_COMPRESS
get SIZE asize
get NAME filename
string NAME + ".bin"
clog NAME 0 SIZE SIZE

I'm not sure if it the compressed bin will work with your game because that compression algorithm is a bit "complicated"
