January 23, 2006JADE Game Engine BIN Tool
Posted by greg
This is from xor37h, over at the xboxhacker forums. It’s rather interesting:
JADE Game Engine .bin file pack-tool v1.0 by xor37h/hitmen
using LZO real-time data compression library (v2.02, Oct 17 2005).Usage: jadepack [-option] infile outfile
Examples:
jadepack -c ff801b17.dec ff801b17.bin
jadepack -d ff801b17.bin ff801b17.decSwitches:
-c compress
-d decompressWith 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.
Also have no fear as the lzo manual states that even the latest miniLZO is backwards compatible.
I have been unable to find the exact version of minilzo the Ubisoft guys used, since they removed version and date strings from the library they used, allthough I suspect they might be using an old version 1.06.
I decided to use version 2.02 as its backwards compatible and works on 64-bit processors.
The file size of the repacked file will often (but not always) be the same.
I have already 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.Special thanks to groepaz/hitmen for porting and testing on linux.

On topic: what exactly is this?
I have taken this from the article :
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.
Q1:
Will the repack be identical 1:1 or not? This is crayzee……
LOL
2. stupid thing in article:
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.
see point 6?
LOAD IT UP ??????
NOW HOW THE FUCK?
I suppose this means that this guy made a new bin..
How did he managed to get it to pass the hypervisor?
only one way… The guy has a cracked xbox360..
Thats a joke…..
This article sucks….
yea… exactly… why in the world do people post these kind of news when it is useless for the time being… and what fucking difference will it make to the game after changing the string…
besides…. who in the world will believe the son of a bitch that says to alter some fuckin strings and shit like that and then load it up on the 360… now, how the fuck is that possible…
xbox360hacks website need to filter these stuff…. ok granted that it is some type of mod… but he doesnt even say what difference it makes to the game…. oh, as a matter of fact, how the fucking retard loaded the game on 360…
BASTARD!!!
this site used to be ok but now it sux
Number 5, 6 and 7.
How about reading the article before you comment it? It clearly says he/she used a file from the “360 kiosk disc” which stated before is bootable on a unmodded xbox360. How about doing some research next time?
#8..
Retard, i am saying what difference finds in the game…. can he play it as a back up or what…. stupid bitch.. read between the lines asshole!!!
hey prick the demo disc and be taken apart i have all the 3 demos on 3 different discs and just the demos no start up.
