Jade .bin re-pack tool-- Posted by XanTium on January 23 14:35 EST
Yesterday xor37h released JADE .bin Unpacker, today he released the a Jade .bin re-pack tool on xboxhacker.net.
It allows to both pack and unpack .bin files of the JADE Game Engine used in the .bf file of the Xbox 360 game King Kong:

JADE Game Engine .bin file pack-tool v1.0 by xor37h/hitmen
using LZO real-time data compression library (v2.02, Oct 17 2005).

With this tool you can decompress and recompress the extracted .bin files from the extracted KingKongTheGame_clean.bf bigfile on the 360 kiosk disc. It should work on other packed .bin files using the JADE game engine.

depacking -> repacking will not produce a 1:1 identical file due to the fact that the lzo algorithm gives different compressed output depending on library version used aswell as the machine it is running on.
depacking -> repacking -> depacking will produce a 1:1 identical file.
The file size of the repacked file will often (but not always) be the same.

I have allready tested the following:
1. extract KingKongTheGame_clean.bf
2. unpack a .bin file.
3. change some strings
4. repack the .binfile
5. rebuild KingKongTheGame_clean.bf
6. load it up on a 360 and see the changes without any problems.

I'm a bit surprised as well, it seems the huge enthusiasm for most hacking related things has almost died in just two weeks.

In the start of the january this forum was full of posts about people trying to modify and hack things (ok, most we're pretty uneducated tries, but still). As the kiosk disk didn't lead to anything groundbreaking, this first wave apparently got discouraged and gave up. Now, I don't want all that stupidity to return, but I do hope these forums will get some of that good kind of enthusiasm back.

End of OT, props for the tool. Hopefully someone will come up with a reasonable use for it.
