I've had these questions regarding modding this game lingering around me for a while, since AT7View was out and the Rumble Weekend mod: 1. Will there be a model importer and/or a proper recompressor for the arc.cx files? (I don't know which one is causing me to have the most issues, but either one is not letting me do the model importing) 2. Is it possible to add Pokémon data entries to the game? 3. Is it a possibility to add new moves in the game? These might be really hard to do, but its something I really want to see happen in the future, and I'd love to see progress of it as well if I'm allowed to. I'd already be happy enough with the first two questions, but the third would make it better.

I've been trying to find a tool to edit Pokémon Rumble saves but haven't found anything. Is there one? And if there isn't is there a guide to hex editing Pokémon Rumble? Please, I beg for an answer.

Fan translators, general-purpose modders--the wait is over. Enter AT7View, a modding suite for the AT7 container format in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare games. Download latest release here Source code and how-to guide here Decompression, recompression, file extraction/replacement, all the fun stuff's here. Maybe even more to come in the future, like a texture converter, a table editor, or a recompressor not built around my trash coding skills as of now. Just wanna give a huge thanks to Platinum Lucario and MegaMinerd for their AT7 container research. Couldn't have made this without it.

Adventurers of Storm Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Aspire! Adventurers of Light All on WiiWare~ Hello everyone, I've actually been making some progress with the research into the AT7 File Container format, here's what I have currently documented: As of now, I've done some huge research into the AT7 Container format and I have made some progress (finally). The AT7 format is split into multiple segments and sectors. Each segment has a 6-byte long header, both which indicate it's ID and size of the segment. AT7P counts the header, where as AT7X does not. Like AT4PX or PKDPX, the segment headers have control flags in it's header, but it is only determined within the first AT7P segment header .AT7P segments have only been examined with compressed data sizes of less than 49,158 bytes. It is unknown if the AT7P segments can go higher than 49,158 bytes AT7X segments have uncompressed data, but can only be 49,158 bytes long. Now here's some examples of where you can find the AT7 Segments for data2_WPAJ.bin: Address Type Segment Size 0x0 - 42F8 AT7P 42F9 bytes (Dec: 17,145 bytes) 0x42F9 - 87C1 AT7P 44C8 bytes (Dec: 17,608 bytes) 0x11589 - 1D58E AT7X C006 bytes (Dec: 49,158 bytes) 0x1D58F - 29594 AT7X C006 bytes (Dec: 49,158 bytes) 0x29595 - 3559A AT7X C006 bytes (Dec: 49,158 bytes) 0x3559B - 415A0 AT7X C006 bytes (Dec: 49,158 bytes) .. 0x14AAD78-14BFFF0 AT7E 15288 (Dec: 86,664 bytes) (This would keep going on and on, can't post all of the offsets since it would take too long, but I am posting about AT7E though) Segments AT7P segments can be any size! The size of the segment is always stated at offsets 0x4-5 in little endian. Where as AT7X is always at a fixed size and have uncompressed data, therefore meaning that offsets 0x4-5 will only count the uncompressed data, but not the header. The entire AT7 file container is split into sectors, containing 131,072 bytes (20000h) each. The AT7E segment always indicates the end of the archived files and then the free space comes after the AT7E header. Compressed data works as follows: After the compressed size bytes, it begins with each of the blocks. Each block starts with a flag byte. As it goes from MSB to LSB, if the bit is set, it reads, takes the next byte from the input and moves it to the output completely unchanged. If the bit is clear, it reads a 2-byte big-endian control code. The top nybble is a repeated string length of 3. The remaining bits are a 12-bit negative offset of the most recent occurrence of the string to repeat. AT7P Segment Info Offset Name Type Endianness Size 0x0-3 Text (AT7P) - Big Endian 4 bytes 0x4-5 AT7P Length* uint16 Little Endian 2 bytes 0x6 Compressed data begins - - - * - These bytes count both the header and compressed data As explained before, AT7X segments are a fixed size of 49,158 (C006) each, counting the header as well. Unlike with AT7P, AT7X segments have uncompressed data, which means that the data can be read without any need to decompress. Since AT7X can only hold data sizes of 49,152 bytes, any data contained has to be exactly 49,152 bytes. This can often be used for textures or certain images or any data that has no data that can be re-replicated in any way, but must be exactly 49,152 bytes within parts of large files. AT7X Segment Info** Offset Name Type Endianness Size 0x0-3 Text (AT7X) - Big Endian 4 bytes 0x4-5 Data size*** uint16 Little Endian 2 bytes 0x6-C006 Uncompressed data - - 49,152 bytes (fixed size) ** - It always has a fixed length of 49,158 bytes (C006h) each *** - The bytes are always 00 C0 (C000h), which means it is always 49,152 bytes long in decimal. Unlike AT7P, these bytes only count the compressed data, but not the header The AT7E segment marks the end of the container and will fill any remaining bytes within a sector with byte values of "45" (or "E" in ASCII). AT7E Segment Info**** Offset Name Type Endianness Size 0x0-3 Text (AT7E) - Big Endian 4 bytes 0x4 Free space***** - - - **** - This segment always indicates the end of the AT7 container, before the free space ***** - These bytes can be any size, the entire AT7 container is made of blocks that are 131,072 bytes (20000h) each, and all free space bytes have a value of "45". The size of the free space will depend on how much space the last block has left over. For example, the last block of data2_WPAJ.bin only has AD7C (44,412 bytes) of data left in it 20000h - AD7Ch = 15284h (86,660 bytes), which means data2_WPAJ.bin only has 86,660 bytes of free space with each byte value of "45" Sectors Sectors are sections of the container that make up the file, like how sectors work on a Hard Disk Drive. Each sector is 131,072 bytes long (20000h). There can be multiple sectors within an AT7 container, for example, data2_WPAJ.bin contains 166 sectors (A6 in hexadecimal). But some contain as little as just 1 sector (such as data1_WPAJ.bin). If the last sector of the AT7 container has free space, the end of the data will be flagged with the AT7E segment, beginning the start of the free space.

UPDATE 08/01/2019: When I first posted this back in July, I posted about how I found the text in a non-standard 8-bit format. However, after further research into the game, it turns out this is only the case for the name of the save files and nicknames of Pokemon. The rest of the text is actually Shift-JIS, a longtime standard 16-bit encoding format for Japanese text. Original post: Filename/nicknames text table: Disclaimer: Other than the general idea of what the character sets are, I know nothing about the Japanese language, so if any of those characters somehow aren't right then that's why. pmdwiiware8bit.tbl
