doesn't windows , when you compile things with C make it so all the function calls have underscores infront of them? I remember this because mac/linux doesn't do that so i was having problems calling stuff from assembly Depends on the calling convention. cdecl, stdcall and fastcall are the most pro...

Onigiri (a Japanese action MMORPG) has seen a beta release. Client download here (1.5gb)

Its data files seem to be encrypted somehow (probably with a simple encryption) so maybe someone can take a look?

Has anyone ever cracked the encryption (or obfuscation?) of the PS3 version's aska0000.bin file? This is what it looks like: http://imgbin.org/images/thumbs/ext17907.png The SLZ script from aluigi obviously won't work on this. The "encryption" looks rather weak since there's patterns every...

Also, being within legal limitations and being a shitty cocksucker are not mutually exclusive. True. I never said anything different. I just don't understand why people release their source code and then complain if someone else uses it. That's the point of open source. If you don't want that, don'...

If you don't understand why it's offensive for someone to profit from something you spent a lot of time on without your permission... But that's exactly the point: if you release something under an Open Source license, you're giving people permission to re-use it . And depending on the license, the...

Most open-source licenses explicitly allow commercial use of the software (possibly under some specific terms wrt. the source code). This is one thing I never understood: Why do people think "open source" equals "must be free-as-in-beer". (Disclaimer: I don't know which tool you'...

How does this compare to noesis? I think both do roughly the same thing. I know that noesis is extensible via Python/C, but other than that? How many different formats does noesis support? I guess they both export the models perfectly in at least the two "major" formats (3ds, lwo)? Any oth...

The problem with asmodean's source code is that he keeps some required include files for himself, so even if someone fixes the source code there's no way to re-compile it until asmodean releases these include files ("as-util.h" in this case, but other tools from him require other/different...

From the images I'd say it's a DragonBall game...

Complete game data files are definitely a no-no. Sometimes uploading the first few hundred kb or so is silently tolerated (or goes unnoticed for a couple of days) but don't count on it. I usually paste the link as text-only in these cases, because that doesn't actually qualify as a "link" ...

My basic understanding is that posting links to anything illegal is not allowed. That includes file sharing sites (torrent sites, ed2k sites, sites which link to downloads of copyrighted stuff on filehosters, etc.) and directly linking to copyrighted stuff (e.g. URLs to game data files on whatever f...

As I said, I've never seen an actual (non-joint-)stereo mp3 file. Here's a draft of the Layer III bitstream spec, maybe you (or someone else) finds the answer you need in there

I don't think it is possible to convert two mono mp3s into a joint-stereo one without re-encoding. You need the sum and difference of the audio data for joint-stereo and the only way I can think of to get these is by decoding the source streams (followed, obviously, by re-encoding the muxed stream)....

Now I see that we're talking about different things. You're mostly talking about reversing from different architectures, I'm talking about figuring out file formats regardless of architecture (and you're right in that I mostly work with x86 stuff) Also I see that we have different goals, my goal for...

...Someone with some decent knowledge and experience can reverse-engineer our work if they want, a lot more easily than having to do it in the native environment and code for whatever game/app/etc. it is that they're interested in, without worrying that the hardware is gone forever or was never pro...
