Well, the subject says all. I'm quite sure, anyone of you has decoded this format or at least knows someone who has. Is there any description / source code out there?

I could need this info for my Parasite Eve Ripper ...

Thanx !

For the project that was to become the FF9Viewer, I decoded the FF9 .IMG format. It doesn't contain anything but the absolutely necessary though. Sort of like a tree-like structure of files, referenced by CD sector numbers IIRC. I was able to extract all QuadMist/TetraMaster graphics using the alpha-version of the app. I could dig up the info, but it'll take some time.

Could you be able to extract instrument samples based on what you've done with the format?

It'll help for the FF9 mod.....

On extracting the files, the file is a ff9test.bin, what do u use to open this file to view the textures, and stuff?

Qhimm: Thanx a lot. I'll take a look at that when I find some free time (my driving license exam is in 5 days...)

Um... I don't have any C++ program, could I get a compiled version? Unless there's a magical way of compiling it through Delphi?   :rolleyes:

I know this topic is dead and buried but I took it to college where they have C++. Where are the project groups? Where is the GUI? Or is it a console app. I can't get it working.

If you read my page, you'd know I use Microsoft Visual C++ for all my projects. If you get these kind of problems, chances are you're using some different app, possibly even some old sh*t like Borland C++ (not builder).

oh, qhimm, ive been meaning to ask.... is it difficult, or even required, to learn things such as mfc to create a visual c++ application?

Actually, MFC is the easy way in. You just have to learn a way of thinking and the whole of Windows will open up to you. What's really hard is to create optimized Visual C++ *without* MFC, in which case most of the handy tools like automatic event and message handling are lost and you're pretty much on your own in the jungle called Windows.

I was trying to run it in Borland C++ Builder, I don't think the college has Visual C++, but I could look.
