Yeah, it's "easy"!

Prepare some stuff...

  • Use wadunpacker.exe to split open any custom wad you can find, don't use a commercial one, there are more files than you need in there and it just complicates stuff.
  • Look at what you just unpacked and delete 00000000.app

Now down to business...

  • Get an iso. The Super Smash Bros. Brawl (SSBB) iso will be used in this tutorial.
  • Get wiiscrubber and open it (you'll need key.bin)
  • Open SSBB.iso in wiiscrubber
  • Search through the listings in wiiscrubber and find opening.bnr
  • Right click on opening.bnr and press extract
  • Save opening.bnr somewhere you can find it.
  • use a U8Tool to extract opening.bnr (I use HowardC tool, but there are many)
  • Now you will have banner.bin, icon.bin, and sound.bin
  • Use a U8Tool to pack these .bin files back into a 00000000.app
  • put this 00.app in place of the 00.app you deleted earlier.
  • use wadpacker on the folder you extracted earlier to pack the wad back up.
  • Install the wad to make sure it contains the right animation.

Alternative to steps 7-9: once you have the opening.bnr file you can just rename it to 00000000.app, it will work, but apparently the padding is slightly different, so it may be better to unpack and repack.

I can hear the cries of, "that sounds like a lot of work", already. It might take you a while the first time, but it's not that hard. Once you have the iso and you have done this a couple of times it will take you less than 10 minutes.
