Beach Life Virtual Resort: Spring Break - Opening and Editing The .BLE Game Files

Image
images taken from the game and from the game manual I have an itch to play Beach Life every now and then. The last time it happened, I found a band-aid solution to guests complaining about high prices. I wanted to make more changes if I could but I couldn't find a way to open and read some of the script files. There are some files in the game that are readable on notepad ( GameParameters.pis and the other . pis files on each scenario and sandscenario folder) but when you try to open up the . ble files, you only see random symbols. I've tried tools that I've seen recommended online ( Game Extractor , Ghidra , Offzip to name a few). Admittedly, I did just glaze over them because I know nothing about reverse engineering a game and didn't know what to do. I have an inkling to play it again recently, and I decided to try an idea that has been looming over my head but have been avoiding....

Shabu Shabu Express

There's a new food cart franchise near where I live. It's called Shabu Shabu Express . You get to choose what you want (noodles + soup or just noodles) along with your desired topping. I bought soup and noodles with the Kung Fu Panda and crab topping. I've read some raves about their toppings and it didn't disappoint. Despite Kung Fu Panda's appearance (it looks more like an eraser than food, and it doesn't look like a panda), it wasn't bad. As for the crab, I really liked its taste. Just be careful when eating it. I didn't really noticed the crab claw sticking out at first, but luckily, my sister pointed it out as I was about to take a huge bite. The noodles and soup though, were really bad. It tastes like soap (not that I've eaten soap). We didn't get to finish eating them because it gave off a really soapy taste that lingered on our tongues long after we stopped eating.  I'm probably won't buy from them again.
