I can't seem to figure it out. I tried using a Hex Editor but that has not helped at all when I tried changing it from there.
How do I change the Game ID title as well as the maker?

If it's a regular ISO, edit the first six bytes of the ISO file. This won't affect the game ID inside the partitions in case it's a Wii game, but I don't think Dolphin uses that. Just make sure to clear the cache in Dolphin afterwards, otherwise you might not see any changes in the game list.

When you use a hex editor, you see the file's data in groups of two like this:
47 4D 38 45 30 31 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Each group of two is one byte. Usually, hex editors also display the same data in an equivalent character-based view, which in my example would look like: GM8E01.......... In that case, each character is one byte. As you can see, the first six ones look like a game ID (including the maker ID). 07-02-2016, 05:13 AM

The banner.bin in Wii saves? The game ID won't be read from there, so it won't work.
Also, sorry, I thought the title just said "game ID" at first, not "game ID title". Do you want to edit the game ID, the title, or both? 07-02-2016, 05:36 AM

I just want to edit the title of the game so Dolphin reads it as" New Super Mario Bros. Wii" instead of New SUPER MARIO BROS. also would like to change the maker column so it says 20XX Nintendo (07-02-2016, 05:36 AM)Sweezy Wrote: I just want to edit the title of the game so Dolphin reads it as" New Super Mario Bros.

The second one, which is simpler, is to use titles.txt as described here: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-ho...#pid380969 You used to be able to do this by editing banner.bin in the save, but nowadays Dolphin reads from opening.bnr instead.

If it had been a GameCube games, you would've been able to do it by editing opening.bnr in the ISO. This will probably become overrideable when support for HBC-style XML metadata gets added to Dolphin. 07-02-2016, 06:18 AM

Any explanation? (07-02-2016, 06:18 AM)Sweezy Wrote: He does it for Wii games here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GypEbF5uaHg That will work if you use the same version of Dolphin as in the video. If your version of Dolphin isn't over a year old, what I wrote in my previous post applies. (I don't remember the exact time the change was made in Dolphin, but it was probably somewhere around a year ago. It was definitely between 4.0 and 5.0.) |
