Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Porting Thread (HD assets in PCSX2: A Discussion)

I'm assuming this is for the widescreen? Also how would someone go about activating widescreen?

 

Yeah a PCSX2 only type of thing.

:D

 

Not so much the title screen, but the stuff before it. Title screen can be doable, but i guess we have to move around some stuff.

 

Well it's really simple to hex out the TIM2 files. Just open title.img in a hex editor, search for the first time 'TIM2' appears, and select all of it down to the next occurrence of 'TIM2' then just paste it in a text document, and change the file extension to .tm2

 

No need, it's already extracted and you can export the images from Noesis. The issue for me is getting them back into the TIM2 format

 

Oh really? :P Sorry I didn't even know Noesis could open that file. Anyway TIM2 isn't exclusive to KH. You can open and save TIM2 files with game graphic studio.

 

Cool. I just want to try some stuff. I'll upload it to the drive for anyone to try[DOUBLEPOST=1376084112][/DOUBLEPOST]Game graphic studio doesn't have a TM2 save option

 

You cant unless you place white boarders at the ends of the picture. You need and artist to usual extend them if there is other visuals.

 

Someone else can do it then?

 

That already looks wide. Did you already add the sides?

 

yeah I did. This is my enhancement.

I also plan to replace the disney interactive and squaresoft logos with the current stuff

 

We could just wait to extract them.

 

True, but who is gonna hack 1.5 Remix? Xentax was doing it but we never heard about it again. And you need a hacked PS3 to do it too :(

 

This method won't work for the title screen I don't think.

 

We need to test it first before saying that.

 

You're right, I'll test it in a sec, but if the file size is larger it will overwrite the next offset.

 

I could compress it. It's only 3kb larger[DOUBLEPOST=1376092608][/DOUBLEPOST]I compressed it not by much, but it turns out to now be 33kb

 

Yeah, but when we're talking about something as tiny as a hex digit, that's a lot. xD Each byte equals two hexadecimal digits, you can't overwrite the next offset, or the next image in title.img will be corrupted.

Edit: By the way, I was never talking about image you posted. It's possible that will work. I'm talking about the images in title.img

 

oh wait I forgot! The files in the HD Collection are in a file called .mself but it is encypted. You need a CFW PS3 to decrypt it. The files are encrypted in sdat's v4
