UPDATE: The Gens 2024 mod loader now supports Gens 2011 Mirage files (models, materials, etc.)! It accomplishes this by upgrading the files in-memory, at runtime, to 64-bit, using newly-added functionality to HedgeLib. This demonstration uses the "REAL Sonow Mod" by velox.ini youtu.be/zK1_o1JSje8

SMALL UPDATE: CAB-compressed ARs now work in the Gens 2024 mod loader! I don't really have anything visual to show yet, but I hope to get stage mods up and working soon. github.com/hedge-dev/HE...

This doesn't matter, but I've been looking into more of the files in Gens 2024 more closely now, and I'm baffled by several of the seemingly random changes they made. For one thing, they decided to pad all of the AR file entries to 16, but they accidentally padded the *data* instead.

UPDATE: The Criware audio portion of the Gens 2024 mod loader is FINALLY mostly done, and I've begun the testing phase. This was a complex project which required multiple years of reverse engineering and programming efforts. I'm happy it's finally coming together! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CKp...

Here's the current state of the Gens 2024 mod loader. In this video I'm using all csbs from the Gens 2011 "Sonic Unleashed Jason Griffith Voice v4.0" mod by brianuuu, and clean csbs & cpks for the music (SNG00_SYS, SNG02_CPZ, and SNG18_PAM). SFX volume is wrong lmao, will fix youtu.be/KG_0PtDIen8

UPDATE: I'm working on the Gens 2024 mod loader again. My life's chaos has been... controlled (for now). Settled back in to life in the US, got sick/recovered twice, and bought a new PC for myself, finally replacing my PC from 2014! This new machine is all linux because FUCK windows 11, holy shit

Tomorrow I'm doing a test where they're going to stick a big tube up my nose, down my throat, into my stomach, and have me swallow stuff. Then they'll take it out and put in a small tube, up my nose, down my throat. This one stays in for 24 hours. I come back the next day and they'll take it out.

$201.17 in tariffs on a $110 purchase 😬 who's that guy out there financing his second loan so he can afford merch from his oshi?

A screenshot of a tweet by @StarlightIdol which reads "so i'm starting to think i can't afford hololive merch anymore".

Attached to the tweet is an image which shows an order summary for two items: "Mori Calliope Birthday Celebration 2025 Underworld University Sweater" for $80, and "Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame Birthday Celebration 2025 Lit Top Innit T-Shirt" for $30.

The subtotal for these items is shown to be $110, shipping costs are $35.64, "Duties" is listed for $201.17, and there is a $9.48 tax, bringing the total to $356.29.

I've been working 9+ hour shifts and doing chores and other things when I'm home and have just had next to no time to work on the gens 2024 mod loader, so apologies for the lack of updates. Today I finally have the day off again so I'll be working on it. Trying to cram as much progress as I can

I've been writing the mod loader backwards compatibility with possible future game updates in mind (lots of careful sigscans). I'm glad I've been doing that. They mentioned a new "Digital Deluxe Edition". We might be getting another update after all?

UPDATE: I resolved this a while ago. I've been working on refactoring the code to make loose aax files work correctly. It's very challenging for a number of reasons. Basically I have to use a hardcoded list of cpk/aax streaming files from gens 2011 and patch the acb from gens 2024 at runtime.

NO WAY !?? THEY GOT HIM ON STEAM ?????

A meme featuring a screenshot of a promotional image for the Steam Visual Novel Fest, in which the text "MAR 10" from the sentence "NOW - MAR 10 AT 10 AM PACIFIC" is circled, with an arrow coming out of it, pointing to an image of Mario from the Super Mario Bros. series., joking about how the text "MAR 10" visually looks very similar to the word "Mario".

I got audio streaming to work from cpk files (and soon will support loose aax files as well)! There's a weird thing where sometimes cri atom doesn't call my hook. I haven't figured out why yet but I'll fix that next.

Yesterday I confirmed a theory I had some time ago. The game doesn't parse the awb files at all. It just jumps to the offsets in the copy of the awb toc data that's stored in the acb and streams. So if you generate a custom awb toc and store it in the acb, you can stream from a non-awb file!

Is there an app you can use to scan some Japanese text and have it just automatically lookup word meanings, hiragana spellings, etc. and add any new words to an Anki(droid) deck? I want to mine words, but the process of having to manually lookup and add every single one always burns me out.

For some reason, some of the .csb files in Gens 2011 have multiple synths of the same name, which are exact duplicates?? This seems to be a mistake? Weird that their tooling allowed it! Anyway, it was crashing my csb -> acb conversion code lmao, adding in a check to account for this now.
