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

I was thinking maybe we should talk to this guy regarding the UI elements

 

Eh... the textures are pretty misaligned. :/

 

Sent him a message

 

I know it's not the point of the video, but does the command menu text look a little too low to you guys?

 

We need a widescreen hack that crops the cutscenes too. I know the guys that made the original hack didn't like to do that. Who knows maybe it will improve perform for cutscenes in PCSX2 since the PC doesn't have to render much.

 

Thats because he resized the command menu and the whole hud. but doing that means you need to realign the texts.

I think it just normal black bars. We need to just make them disappear. Theres a code that can make them appear at anytime. Maybe we can ask a coder to just make a code to get rid of them.

 

No it's not that. They already made that. What I am proposing is what they done to 1.5. They cropped it or rather zoomed in the image so it's not letterboxed anymore. Maybe some kind of zoom function for cutscenes which I think the widescreen helper can do that.

 

No you don't not want to crop the cutscenes. I have no clue why they did that.

 

It annoyed me too, but I just wanted an option for it so it's accurate

 

I doubt anyone wants to do that.

 

Then I guess I'll do it myself then. I'll need help though

 

That's fine. I don't want part of it. I despise cropping.

 

anyone know how to save as .tm2? Or convert a .PNG to .tm2 I kinda wanted to test something with the title screen

 

I'm not sure if it's been asked yet but does anyone own a copy of the japanese version of 1.5 remix? It's been out for a few months now.
If we could figure out how to extract it then we can get a good chunk of the porting done before 1.5 hits the US. Hopefully the file structure is similar.

 

I have the Japanese version, got it back when the game came out in Japan in March. I'm currently LPing it on Game Anyone as well.
Any questions you need, just ask me. Everything so far is exactly the same when it comes to how cutscenes are in the Final Mix game, only difference being the voices are Japanese.

 

It sort of is. Have you read the Xentax thread? Most info is there.

You will need a CFW PS3 to extract the files[DOUBLEPOST=1376183096][/DOUBLEPOST]The answer to extracting 1.5 has been in our faces this whole time if any of you guys have the japanese version of the game and a CFW PS3 then this is possible. If not then we have to find someone or wait till the US version comes out.

We have to use a Quick BMS script

Code:

# Square Enix - Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMix *.mself
# by Falo
# script for QuickBMS http://quickbms.aluigi.org
# Note: All files are encrypted with sdata V4
 
endian big
 
idstring "MSF"
 
goto 0x10
get numFiles long
get ofsTable long
goto ofsTable
 
for x = 0 < numFiles
 
GetDString Name 0x20
get Offset LONGLONG
get Size LONGLONG
get empty LONGLONG
get empty LONGLONG
 
log Name Offset Size
 
next x

For the .mself extraction

This for models.

Code:

# Square Enix - Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMix *.mdls
# by Falo
# script for QuickBMS http://quickbms.aluigi.org
 
set MAX_FILES 1024
 
for x = 0 < MAX_FILES
 
GetDString Name 0x20
get Offset long
get Size long
get empty long
get empty long
 
math Offset += 0xC000
 
if Size == 0
cleanexit
endif
 
log Name Offset Size
 
next x

If crazycat can help us and if someone has the required hardware we can pull this off.

I wonder if that model script works on the PS2 version?

 

Mixt does. But like I said before u need to have cfw to decrypt the .mself of KH
1.5. So till then its big going to happen.

 

I already mentioned this. An no it will not work in KH ps2. It's a completely different game. You need cfw which its rare and not easy to get. I have been wanting to do it for a good while but list interest.

 

It's not really rare. You just need to have the right PS3 model and some other conditions. Although I can always wait, it's just that script to do everything has always been available so I shouldn't have been complaining too much about Xentax forums.

 

Its rare to have someone have it and willing to do it. All version of the ps3 are hackable beside the super slim I think. And it doesn't do everything. The other files could also be in a different format too for the ps3.
