Does anyone know what NULL1MIN.DAT does? It's the last file on the disc, sector-number-speaking, and I wondered what its function was. The file itself is blank; it appears to be a placeholder, but for what?

I note that its length is listed as 6,000,000, even though it's empty. Is the '60' significant, is the file supposed to stand for a blank minute?

It's there only as a padding file. PlayStation games are supposed to have 3 minutes of blank data, or at least that's what Sony asked developers to do when building data disks. IIRC, early models of the console just couldn't read the last 3 minutes of any disk, hence why this countermeasure.

Necromancy!

Since I've been unable to get in contact with halkun, and I've been mapping out the contents and purposes of various files, I've decided to mirror his spreadsheet, and update it. I still have a bit more to update, and the process will continue after that once I've finished a few daunting aspects of the mod I'm working on, but for now, here's the new mirror:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ave2E8R3nZQDdFV5Y3c0Tm9mejBORjZ4UmJ3Qmdpd0E&usp=sharing

As was the case with the original, let me know if you've got something to contribute, and if you're fairly active in reverse-engineering FF7's files and data, I'll allow you to edit the spreadsheet directly.

Enjoy!

I didn't see the message - sorry

You can carry on the mantle if you want. I darn-near forgot about this.

halkun: On that note, would you mind editing the original post to point to the new file?

Awesome; thanks.

I'll update this thread as I add more documentation; hopefully others will chime in as well.

Re-Necromancy!

I've not touched this file for a very long time and I'm ready to pass the torch.

Anyone want to volunteer to take possession of this file?

If not, I'll likely archive it on GameHacking.org for anyone to grab, but in that form it won't be a live editable document and single source of truth...

OK. Let me know when you've got the file and uploaded it to a Google Drive so others can access it. I'll archive my copy, in case it's ever needed later.

New sheet link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sPn_1xROv5JH7civp6hvZImTzr9IpJb8fKXCUHSJ88Y/edit?usp=sharing

I cloned the sheet permissions, so if anyone needs edit permission only need to tell me.

Awesome. I've saved a copy of mine, and removed it from my Drive. If at some point in the distant future the file becomes unavailable everywhere else, reach out to me and I'll dig it up in its 2015-10-17 state.
