ASH Files

From WADder Wiki

ASH files are found in /layout/common/ in the System Menu. iplsetting.ash in the System Menu is actually a U8 Archive, uncompressed.

Notes

ASH0 files are used by Nintendo in the System Menu. They can be decompressed with ASH by crediar, found here: ASH_v0.1.rar download.

ASH by Crediar usage

• Click Start -> Run, then type "cmd", and press enter.
• After that, type 'cd "C:\location\of\files\to\extract\"' (without the single quotes), then press enter.
• Place ash.exe in the folder you just changed to.
• To extract a file, then type 'ash.exe name_of_file.ash" and it will extract it to "name_of_file.ash.arc".
• If the program does not believe that it is an ASH file, it probably isn't. Try a U8 unpacker on it, and if that fails, try using a yaz0 decompressor on the file.

Technical Info

Not much is known about this type of file, as all source code is based on the code from the Wii System Menu. It is known that this compression is similar to yaz0 Compression.
