hmm
well black jax is working on editing the whole sound brsar(via brawlbox) for fighter sound effects without injecting
File Patch 4 beta supports replacing the whole sound brasar<.<
so File Patch codes still can play a big role here
how big is the sound brsar anyways?
lol
115MB
and some people may have the brsar, and a billion BRSTMS in their setup (like I do)
so even with wiiU being SDHC compatable, you can go to like the wii menu and it will register the HC and can read from it, but when you boot brawl, it will say that the device in the slot can't be used, we COULD make brawl SDHC compatable if we could mod the SD driver file on the disc to support SDHC then make a V5 FPC to account for that file, you'd have to swap the cards that way, but at least unlike riivo with gecko, while the mods are running, you can take out the SD card and hot-swap hacks and the mods still load, riivo locks the SD card and if removed mid-game, requires a reboot to use the mods again and will freeze when a modded file needs to be loaded, since riivo predetermines what files to load form the SD card and what loads from the disc before launching the game
and again, the codes can play useful again, but still brings that 2GB SD card MAX limitation again since gecko and SSBB only support up to 2 GB (file patch code makes brawl's SD driver load from the SD (which isnt SDHC compatable)
if you wanted to shrink it, you;d have to empty some slots you plan to never use, or clear some entries, BUT BRSAR fiels are responsable for more than just holding SFX, they also contain the brstm listing for EVERY brstsm the game knows about or plays, and weather they are surround sound or not, in addition it also contains loop-governing values, and if a brstm doesnt match this or is less than, will NOT loop in-game (brawl's brsar has these loop values set to infinite so this is why brawl doesnt have to have the brsar patched for audio hacks like other games like MKW and mario sluggers), RSAR files also contain sound banks (which to me are MIDI instrument samples)
black jax stated that he/she wanted brawlbox to do injecting/editing like sawndz, but better (so i assume that this will expand to WHAT we can hack (and auto monoify stereos for noobs that dont do this)
