Quick tut how to use hfssign

Credits to hfssign to Fovea ofc, please thanks him in his topic.

This tut assumes you know how to edit your hfs in .zip form and use VZipFlip to convert back to .hfs. (there is another tut for that)

Seen a few questions asked so here it is.. Very simple:

Assuming the folder is on desktop.

Open start-run-cmd

Type cd users/(username)/desktop/(name of folder which holds hfssign.exe AND the hfs to be signed)

type hfssign hfsfilename.hfs

Your done, if it tells you it doesnt use the secondary blah blah, then it don't need to be used on that hfs (the one with evy motion.txt for example).

How do you edit a hfs file?

Use this tut to convert .hfs into a .zip file:

Once you have them in .zip form you can open them with winzip. Once opened with winzip you can edit the files contained with something like notepad++. Make your edits, save the file. Click on the opened .zipfile (winzip window) it will ask if you want to update the zip file.. Choose yes. Convert it back to .hfs usin the tut above.

If you edit a file with extension .db# like the one in 286ffxxxxx.hfs then use SqLite instead of notepad++.

you really only can edit one type of file with this method and nothing else. If you do it comes out with weird symbols in it. The developers made them that way. Have fun.

Alot of those files if you scroll down you will find some editable plain text.. I've done a few edits in files like those.

Or you could make a batch file in the same dir and use the method above.

VZipFlip z yourhfsfile.hfs (hfs to zip )
VZipFlip h yourhfsfile.zip (zip to hfs)

are those edits useful? I think you wasted time on those.

All the files should be editable if you use the right tools

edit !
found my error

Anyone know?

I get the error end of central directory could not be found, then it gives me a checksum of 0 and writes it. I try to use it and it crashes before it can start, anyone else. Any help is appreciated.
