Phantasy Star Generation:1/2 Rom Hacking

[xrick]

I've already posted this topic as a reply in the "PSG:1/2 Arts" topic, but like this it may attract more attention from you

Now that I think about it...
Couldn't someone, like Orakio's translation group, try to rip the in-game arts from the ISO through Rom Hacking, like Tylon, Lutz, Tajim, La Shiek, even enemy arts and anime cutscenes? EVERYTHING!!! Like people do with the Eroges...

That could be very interesting.

Man, and here I thought that at least this one there would be some interesting replies from people interested in the deal...

Dude, if you want to ask Orakio Rob, you gotta ask him directly. However, I don't know if he has access to the game discs.

Not everyone has them. The ones who do might be busy with other things or have no time or interest to learn to rip things they probably won't ever be needing. The ones who don't, either don't have the source (game discs) or don't have the knowledge to pull such a feat. It's not like opening a .jpg, it's usually decrypting a single file that contains ALL THE IMAGES IN THE GAME or at least a portion.

Your message has been viewed several times. That means people KNOW you are asking, but because of the reasons above, can't or won't get you the images you want.

Not my intention to sound like an asshole, but dude, you asked already about those images. It was a no go. What you ask now is probably difficult, since importing games isn't exactly cheap.

Sorry, man, you'll have to ask somewhere else.

I know I may have been sounding like a restless dumb asking always for the same in different ways, but man, I'm an Artwork Hunter, I simply love artworks, especially Character Artworks, that's why I was keeping bugging you all this time.

I sent a mail to Orakio already, but he must be busy since even the PSG:1 Board Diary hasn't been updated for 2 weeks, and I don't want to lose hope on it.

I guess there's no more beating around the bush. I'll simply wait for Orakio to hopefully answer my mail...

Oh are you talking about stuff like the CG cutscene bits and battle backgrounds, etc for PS:G 1/2? Well i'm not sure about everything, but some of what you're looking for, if I'm right, is right here on PSCave.

I knew about them, besides, those very pics are from Lunar's Site...

But they are LQ ones, I have been taking nicer quality ones myself through PCSX2 gameplay, but it's not the same.

Also, I was kinda hoping for the character arts from the characters that we find in the dungeons...

Yesterday, Orakio answered me when I posted in his most recent "PSG:1 Board Diary".
He said that as soon as they finished working on the game's translations they would go ahead with ripping all the game may have inside to offer to fans like us

Also, as I had assumed once, during my first long-running gameplay of PSG:1, Myau is the party's comic relief!!!

[Wing-0]

And speaks in a manly manner, rendering the debate of wether Myau was a he or a she moot...

[xrick]

Really? Nice...

[BenoitRen]

It's not uncommon in Japan for tomboys to speak as if they're male, though.

[Wing-0]

There's a difference... Certain words are exclusive of males and even tomboys don't tend to use it.

Unless of course, said tomboy is a full fledged lesbian.

Even so, in Myau's case, it's clear the musk cat is a male.

[xrick]

Hum... It seems the main point of this topic has suddenly been changed...

[Wing-0]

Bonk!

Nothing new in the cave. =)

[xrick]

Heh? I didn't get that one...

[Wing-0]

Derailing topics is something common here.

A topic goes in a direction, but usually, we tend to get off topic with me being a prime example of being responsible for it more often than not. =P

Don't get mad and enjoy the ride.
