If you have suggestions or request for other fmv rippers just post the title here i'll see what i can do

[NexXxus]

well it doesn't work with the german version -> wrong disk.

but thats ok, i can modify it.

can you post the table?
and the offset where i the disksize is listed?

Thanks

[ffxdean]

yeah sure. but before i do, what method do you use to locate the movies? Can you provide instructions? I know theres PCSX2 but my version doesnt work on that yet, so therefore i cant use it. It took me 2 whole days for finding the intro alone so i was wondering if i can use your method (what ever that maybe).


P.S I just need to know how to locate it on the disc (i know its in the LBA: SLES_543xx.xx but where?, i know it might be different because you have the german version but i can just compare it making it alot easier)


Thanks

[NexXxus]

there is a LBA Table somewhere on the DVD, dsfgd knows the LBA where it is i think.

[CheloXXL]

Just to let you know so I can try on my version:

The spanish version ID is SLES_543.58

Tried the latest version but it says wrong disk.

[NexXxus]

yeah because the text in every version affects the disksize.

[RioTaRD]

Um dude, the first 'original one only gets me like 2 wav. files that actually contain stuff and thats it. The NEW BETA ONE just wont even recognise my disc, it says its the wrong disc, i have the PAL UK version of the game! Any help here dude?

[ffxdean]

Yeah that was the prototype so therefore it doesnt work.

The NEW BETA ONE just wont even recognise my disc, it says its the wrong disc, i have the PAL UK version of the game! Any help here dude?

I realised that when someone pm me that it doesnt work (uploaded the wrong one). Here is the link to the proper one:

ffx2movpal_1.02_beta.zip - DivShare

Let me know if it works or not.

Thanks

[RioTaRD]

Hello @ all!

Anything new about the "Wrong Disc" Problem?

I have the german Version (SLES_543.56) and looking for a working tool.

Hope a solution is near

THX4HLP

[NexXxus]

i "had" a working tool, before my HDD crash. sorry

[RioTaRD]

Argh that is sooo annoying , good luck with recreating it, best wishes!

[NexXxus]

suuuuuuure
have to locate the movies again in the ISO first

[Tommynova]

i lost all my data 2 years ago.
i hope you didn't lost much important data!

this table is on LBA 372 (offset = 0xBA000; Size = 262.144 Bytes)
in fao's tool, DVD size = 0x43A9 and 0x43B0; LBA table = 0x35030 to 0x3516F when it's not modified.

it's a hard table, not for beginner's so don't try to figure it out (there is a "bit" like encryption, not really an encryption but for beginner it's to difficult to understand it)

upload the first 1.240.000 byte (~1MB) of the iso so i can get this table, i need DVD size too.
(i have only the JAP, USA and JAP IZJS version of FFXII, so i can't make it for PAL)

then i will see to make a fully working Movie extractor for GER,UK,FR,IT and ES version (PAL Version is impossible, because all DVD's have a different size and LBA for movies)


there is a trick to bypass the DVD Size check of fao's tool,

.text:0040439B loc_40439B:                             ; CODE XREF: .text:0040438Aj
.text:0040439B                 mov     ecx, dword_437AB0
.text:004043A1                 mov     eax, [ecx]
.text:004043A3                 mov     edx, [eax+2Ch]
.text:004043A6                 call    edx
.text:004043A8                 cmp     eax, 1E0AF0h ; Disc Size Check A
.text:004043AD                 jz      short loc_4043C6
.text:004043AF                 cmp     eax, 1E0AF1h ; Disc Size Check B
.text:004043B4                 jz      short loc_4043C6
.text:004043B6                 push    0
.text:004043B8                 push    10h
.text:004043BA                 push    offset aWrongDisc_ ; "Wrong disc."
.text:004043BF                 call    ?AfxMessageBox@@YGHPBDII@Z ; AfxMessageBox(char const *,uint,uint)
.text:004043C4                 pop     esi
.text:004043C5                 retn

simple patch these both jz jumper to jmp, then it will work on all dvd's
to do this patch 0x43AD: 74 17 to 90 17 and 0x43B4: 74 10 to 90 10
but if you put in the wrong disc, it will dump junk

[NexXxus]

hey welcome back.
Where were you the last time ?

[Diehard]

thanks, the updated version worked for my dutch game.
Now the merging of the audio
greetz

only the first one worked unfortunately...
the rest gets an error while opening both the m2v or the wav file.
any suggestions?

[ffxdean]

Well yeah i didnt finish it . I have all the information with me but i just couldnt be bothered as I have both the NTSC and PAL version of the game and the quality of the NTSC version is so much superior to PAL. Sharpness, size and colour wise.

[yoshi314]

some people have only legal pal disks, you know....

think of the poor eur gamers :]
