Thanks, it should help rip this game a lot faster, thanks to in-game screenshots referencing the palletes. But then, where do I download it..
RE: Tales of Hearts - Barubary - 12-27-2008
I suppose this should come in handy; I unpacked, decompressed, and unpacked again as much as I can of the files.
Most of the 2D graphics are inside .DS3-files, which are archives of unnamed files. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out the format of those packs, so I cannot unpack them. Therefore if a file inside in compressed, you'll have to somehow manually extract the files and/or use a program like this to decompress them. (or just skip them for now)
Also, the .cdat-files are compressed using some sort of modified LZ77 compression which I don't know. If someone manages to decompress them (or even has an example decompressed and compressed file-pair), I'd greatly appreciate it. =)

Awesome. By the way, check these out.

I know a few people who knows about LZ77 compression.
I think the E00-E06 of they characters. The seem to be compressed.
If you can get E001-E006 decompressed some more, we'd have the main characters. My gut tells me so.=P Beside that the other files have the enemies.

Thanks for the tutorials and GGD, however, I can't seem to find the program DSLazy for downloadability. (I must have forgotten it)
RE: Tales of Hearts - Azu - 12-28-2008
Romhacking.net should have it. Or, you can download the unpacked TOh files in the posts above.

Seeing as I already downloaded from the unpacks above.. Nvmd. *looks for files using GGD*
EDIT: okay, I'm lost. Can't seem to find the characters, but I do find the pallete.
RE: Tales of Hearts - Azu - 12-29-2008
Any luck thus far?

No, can't find sprites anywhere, it's just static. Pallete was found, though.
RE: Tales of Hearts - Azu - 12-29-2008
In the "char" folder, ignore E001=E006. Those are the main characters, but they don't work for some reason, You just see pals. I think the main characters are compressed even more.
I used these settings for the other sprites.

Unless I can get someone to unpack these files,

Guess I should start Tiling these characters.

Eeeyup. I'm going to try to find rescources for DS Lazy, hopefully.
RE: Tales of Hearts - Azu - 01-01-2009
You won't need to use DSLazy since Barubary already unpacked them.

Well, if I need to go back to ripping the main characters, then DSLazy's a must.
RE: Tales of Hearts - Azu - 01-02-2009
Won't do much good. The main characters seems more compressed than the sub characters and enemies are.
