Murdered Coalesced CRC (PS3/X360)

[xujozer]

Hi, I'm doing some tests on coalesced file, game Murdered: Soul Suspect, the tools that were available for this file works perfectly in Dump/Insert, the problem is that the game seems to use a checksum to monitor possible changes, then even I changing one byte in file, the game crashes, only the .toc was not enough to record the data.
I wonder if anyone knows a tool to make the checksum does not change (not sure if there is such a tool), or if anyone knows where the checksum recorded. The game uses U3, and all the text is in this file: Coalesced_INT.bin

Here is the file in question:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4qinsy8ql9z2q ... ED_INT.BIN

P.S: The PC version does not have this problem.

UE3 have SHA1 crc check in executable, try to change it, for example ps3 EBOOT.ELF


ps check for ps3, it's working

There is no such a thing for X360... Tested without the problem. At least no for Coalesced.bin! I have translated a few lines of code and repack it and no problem game starts.

Thanks, I'll test now.

Oh, I thought the xbox version also had checksum, sorry.

If its just a crc check you can fake the original CRC value with the attached tool

Edit: sorry just noticed you said SHA1 crc so probably won't work.

Just found out on X360 it is ok for coalesced.bin but for files like Startup_LOC_INT.xxx there is some kind of check i cannot find where please can anyone help ? Thx

In this file is fonts..

[michalss]

never mind found it

So X360 has not any SHA1 check in defualt.xex they have size check in TOC files instead Pretty easy to do

Michaels, what is the tool you use to reinsert the files extracted from .xxx?
I never could reinsert them.

Hex editor 010 will do the job

XXX files are not that bad if you want to replace for example 1 or max 3 files, doable with HEX. Once you need to do some text reimport that is complicated and for me hard, however some ppl in here are good with UPK/XXX

I'm trying to find where is the font size of the cutscene, I found the value to the menu in the "PS3-FateGame" file...
Do u know where is the value to increase the font size in the cutscene of the game?

Hi xojuzer,

Did you manage to get it working by hex-editing the SHA in the EBOOT?
I tried, but didn't have any luck

Could you please help me?
I have a translated coalesced_int file, taken from the Xbox 360 game, and I'd like to get it working on PS3.

Do I have to edit the toc file too?


--- Edit: Nvm, got it working
