Hello, everyone! I'm new to the forums but have been wanting to aid in your Mario Galaxy 2.5 project for a while. But, I've ran into a few issues.

I've dumped my legal copy of Mario Galaxy 2 to the desktop using Dolphin and successfully was able to edit and move a few objects around in one of the first levels as a test. I reverted the now edited files into an ISO using PowerISO and it completes. I then try to open it in Dolphin, but it says that the ISO is invalid. Should I be using a different program?


Any help would be appreciated. :)

Yes. Wii discs are not burned or created in the same way as normal ISOs. It's the same format but completely different. I would use Wiiscrubber for now. It only lets you replace individual files so it is slow but it is sadly one of the few methods as of now.

Alrighty. I'll give it a shot and I'll report back if anything goes wrong.

Thank you very much!

If you have a retail disk, using Riivo is a better option, since you can see if the game crashes or not on your level. :)

Well I guess it all depends on your preference. From the way he worded it he has one of those special disc drives that can actually read the wii disc, and he ripped it solely from his computer. So his reason might be not wanting to get homebrew on his wii. But yeah, either would work.

Well, I do have a Wii-readable disk drive, but I ripped the ISO using USBLoaderGX. I believe it's much faster than anything I've used.

Alright, I'm not sure if I'm not looking hard enough or what, but I can't seem to find the option to put all of the extracted Mario Galaxy 2 files into WIIScrubber So I can create a working ISO to test.

Can't you burn the files to a disc or something? Or is that something you don't want to do?

I'm porbably wrong.

I think it's better to create an ISO rather than burn a disc. It's faster, and easier to handle than having to burn a new disc every time you edit the code/levels. :)

Alright! I was able to get in and replace files, but which files do I replace? I edited one of the first levels, Yoshi Star Galaxy, and I'm not sure if I just replace the files in "YosshiHomeGalaxy", or if I need to replace other files as well.

(Sorry for all of the questions. Once I figure all of this out, I'll be helping out in full force!)

You only need to replace whatever files have been modified.

Thank you, Mega-Mario! I've gotten everything to work! I'll start drawing out some concept art for some levels and whatnot.

I've noticed that if you edit even the smallest things, (enemies, flowers, ect) it requires you to put those individual files into the ISO. Tedious, tedious, tedious. XD

Indeed. Well, each zone is contained in one .arc file, so if you modify only one zone, you only need to reinsert one file.

A way to make things easier will be developed...
