You sure are committed.

Okay, the project is dead.

Everytime I view a tileset in PSX-VRAM, one area is without a palette.

I really can't find this silly palette, I swear that I will rip the whole game if I find out how it works:

Even Surfer Village is concerned, the outdoors-area is unrippable.

Edit: Old post from above:

Spoiler

After Mystic Quest Legend (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest for NTSC-Countries) & Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, I will try Wild Arms. Each tileset and each NPC-set has only one pallet, which makes it very easy to rip.

Btw, I will also rip further sheets from Lunar SSSC, available in this thread:
http://www.spriters-resource.com/communi...p?tid=8017
And here is the section with the final versions of all Lunar sheets:
http://www.spriters-resource.com/psx_ps2...index.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, the list with my progress so far:

Tilesets only
- Surfer Village Inner
- Surfer Village Outer
- Temple of Memories
- Mountain Pass
- Adelhyde Inner
- Adelhyde Outer

NPC's
- Surfer Village
- Adelhyde

Sheets:





All Tileset descriptions are translated from German to English by myself (I don't know the English names and I can't look after them due to game spoilers). I think, this time I can only then submit after beating the game (and knowing the correct titles).

Now that I know about the "hidden" palettes (thx to Deathbringer), I will revive this project with a WIP:

I don't have a clue about the wooden roof, the door and the stone wall, I think I have to rip the whole map as well.

I was totally gonna rip the same stuff, but decided to do a search on it first. XD. I wanna know how you were able to rip off a PS game! XP!

[Davy Jones]

The tool is named PSX-VRAM =)

Program:
http://www.romhacking.net/utils/442/

Tutorial:
http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/forum/showt...php?t=6300

Short Explanation in own words:
With F1 you can create a save file, use F2 if you want to switch between your save locations. Go to folder epsxe -> sstates -> now you have a data with the file extension .000-/.001-/.002 or something like that.

Rename this file extension to .gz and unpack it with Winrar or Winzip. Drag this file and drop it into the PSX-VRAM window.

With the keys W, A, S, D you can navigate your red box, which shows you the current graphics you want to view. Switch between the keys 0 and 9 to view both kinds of graphics (different encryptions).
Now the palette:
With your direction keys, you can navigate a red cross to the coloured bars (palettes) to give your sprites the right colours, hold shift if you want to move 1 pixel instead of 16.
Protip: Move horizontally 16 pixel and vertically 1.

Additionally, some other stuff:
epsxe 1.7 with all preferences (use 1.6 if you want to change discs):

http://min.us/mbH1D2O

I recommend Snagit 8 for taking pics, it's one of the best screen capture programs in existence and very comfortable (Input: Region, Output: Catalogue). Just hit a predefined key and mark the area you want to capture, the program will take a screen of it.

Thanks so much! Now, I'm totally gonna rip the magic from Final Fantasy Tactics to use on Rpgmaker! ^________^ (wish me luck!)

[FelixFlywheel]

Oh, quick question. I use PSXfin playstation emulator. Well... It has a setting where you can view that scrambly pallete of all the tiles... I can screenshot that, but I wondering if BMPs will work with that proggie. I was able to drag it in and view it, and change the colors like that guide had shown, but finding the right colors is hard Is it because it's a BMP or what? Do you know? ;

[Davy Jones]

I'm not sure if I understand you right, but PSX-VRAM works with savestates and not with bmps. I've also never heard of this PSXfin emulator and can't say anything about that.



look at clut 0, 485/487/389/345, and so on , most of PSX-games are using this 0-grid.

I'm totally gonna rip the magic from Final Fantasy Tactics to use on Rpgmaker!

I'm using RM2k3, don't expext too much from these PSX-games. Most of these animations look only good because they work very well with alpha transparency and fluid appearing/disappearing animations.

PSXfin has been the best emulator I ever used. It's a lot faster than ePSXe when it comes saving/loading states. It does it instantly, and doesn't stop for a bit and make a skippy sound like ePSXe (maybe that's just me?) , and it has a button that shows the graphic sheet thing that's all scrambly looking. Hmm... I has lots and lots to learn, that's for sure! x__x

Maybe I'm doing something wrong then, but if this is so, then I'll have to find a tool that converts the savestates from PSXfin to the ePSXe format, because I do all my games on PSXfin. -.-

Here's a screenshot of that emulator showing the graphic sheet. It shows it with the F11 key. So if I snapshot this graphic sheet, it couldn't be used on the PSX-VRAM? x__x;

I love this emulator so much

[Davy Jones]

mh, this looks familiar.

Are you sure you can't use the controls from PSX-VRAM on this window?

[FelixFlywheel]

Late reply. XD!! Nope, I couldn't, it would look very glitchy still, and there would be a bunch of lines going through all the graphics. Like a TV screen or something, only vertically. I guess that's why it has to be a save state file. XD Luckily, I figured all that out + being able to convert save files to epsxe.... Now, if only there was a way to rip sound effects. ;

[Davy Jones]

Luckily, I figured all that out + being able to convert save files to epsxe....

Could you explain it in a short sentence? Maybe it's helpful for other people =)

Now, if only there was a way to rip sound effects. ;

There is a program named PSound, I've ripped some sound effects from Thrill Kill with that.

*uses MAX Revive on this thread



Just grabbed a few quicksaves and ripped all the chars & objects from it.
