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.... The GameParameters.pis file had a header containing the file name, and I notice...

Yes Man OST (2008)

Yes Man

I felt like watching a light movie yesterday, so I decided to try this 2008 comedy film starring Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel and Bradley Cooper entitled 'Yes Man'. The movie itself has its funny moments, but low re-watch value. One of the scenes that I thoroughly enjoyed was the one with the 'Munchausen By Proxy' band playing. 'Munchausen By Proxy' is a fictional band in the movie consisting of the lady lead (Zooey Deschanel) and a real life electro soul-punk group Von Iva.

I picked up the soundtrack of the movie hoping there would be full tracks of the songs sung by 'Munchausen By Proxy' included. It's very interesting to note that the soundtrack is very similar to the movie. It has some really good songs, yes. But as a whole, it's not strong. Thank heavens, it's possible to buy a single track from an album these days.

Yes Man OST

1. Man Up - Eel
2. Bus Stop Boxer - Eel
3. To Lick Your Boots - Eel
4. The Good Old Days - Eel
5. The Sound of Fear - Eel
6. Wooden Nickels - Eel
7. Flyswatter - Eel
8. Blinking Lights (For Me) - Eel
9. Somebody Loves You - Eel
10. Sweet Ballad - Munchausen By Proxy
11. Uh-Huh - Munchausen By Proxy
12. Keystar - Munchausen By Proxy
13. Yes Man - Munchausen By Proxy

The songs by Eel aren't especially good and I found it hard to stay focused on listening. But it's not bad either. It has a laid back feel to it and it melts into the background easily. The songs by Eel are what one would probably listen to while doing some task for some ear candy without getting too much distracted. For me, the best songs in the soundtrack are the ones done by Munchausen By Proxy. It's just so upbeat and the lyrics are good (and a bit funny at times), it's difficult not to like. My favorite would be 'Sweet Ballad' and comes in (a close) second, 'Uh-Huh'.

Have you seen the film or heard the soundtrack? What are your thoughts?
