New to Hex Editing

[ranky5443]

Need some help if someone has time to teach. Been doing a lot of research this morning and haven't been able to find a step by step walkthrough of the process I need. Might need a hand hold here as I'm inexperienced with hex editing, but really been wanting to learn it.

I've been trying to move Jacqueline to a different slot. Currently, 669.

At first, I looked on the wiki and also, I found this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8-Vuw8R5DM) and followed it using HxD, but it didn't work, based on my understanding of what I've been reading, because it looks like the file may not be in EPK8 but rather in HSPC? For example, when I open ch66902.pac in HxD, it looks like there is no "emd" to find (more accurately, there was one, but not exactly as it seems in the video and so probably not the same thing) and therefore, nothing to change in the hex. So, in trying to find a way to convert HSPC to EPK8, I kind of hit the wall as I can't find anything that describes the process in specificity. What I could find here and there is more a vague "extract" and "inject", but I think I may need a more line by line specificity cause I'm new to it.

So, if you anyone is willing and has the time, would really appreciate the help! Once someone can help me once, I'll have it and won't need help again. Just haven't been able to figure it on my own.

 

Thanks!

If you use a tool like CCT or Wrestleplus, just rename Jacqueline pac to what ever slot you want and the application will change it for you automatically. 

The extract/inject thing is probably just extracting all files from the newer format pac and rebuilding/injecting it into older epk8 pac. But why do that when those free tools can do it for you.

I actually just stumbled across that info as you posted. I wished I found that hours ago haha. Gonna test it out now. I didn't realize CCT does it automatically. I'll let you know. Thanks for the response!

Yup That did it. Thank you again!
