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).

Shows Round Up Ep 005 (Malory Towers, The Worst Witch, A Little Princess)

Malory Towers  (2020) Based on the book series of the same name by Enid Blyton, this show follows the life of Darrell Rivers ( Ella Bright ), and her room mates at Malory Towers. Apart from me wanting throw hands with Gwen ( Danya Griver ), it's a nice and light show that I'd highly recommend to kids (and grown ups too). I hope there will be another season.

I'm a bit sad that Bella Ramsey (who played Mildred Hubble in the first 3 seasons) left the show but it's for her health so she knows what's best. I haven't watched the season 4 yet with Lydia Page  as the new Mildred Hubble, but the story and the cast has been really solid so far, so I have high hopes.  A Little Princess (1986) I'm pretty sure most people has either seen the 1995 film version or the 1985 anime...
