Re: Extract FLAC audio from MAME CHDs

CHD harddisks are not compressed with FLAC. Only audio CDs and (maybe) Laserdiscs. FLAC wouldn't make sense on a harddisk now, would it? It's however possible (if very unlikely) that the (uncompressed) harddisk image contains *.flac files, in that case you should be able to mount them (if it's a wel...

Re: Thinking about: DRM wrapper for releases

The non-wrapped version will be uploaded before then. I only intend it to be an experiment, not anything long term (actually, just to piss off a few guys at another forum full of noobs who just want tools). Ah, so you want to use Xentax as a way of getting your personal revenge; or maybe for provin...

Re: Thinking about: DRM wrapper for releases

Seems hardly worth the trouble. All unpackers etc. I write/wrote are so small I don't even bother writing a GUI for them (people who can't use the command line shouldn't be allowed to call themselves "hacker" or "modder", let alone "reverse engineer"). So I definitely w...

Re: Thinking about: DRM wrapper for releases

I actually think that open-sourcing everything (e.g. on github) would be better. It's really annoying to find a binary-only extractor in an age-old thread which doesn't work for a newer revision of the data file it's supposed to extract, and you have no way of updating or fixing it. Also, what would...

Re: $15 for importer/exporter for Girl Battle Hentai Super B

You know, it was funny in the first three or so posts. Now it's just childish. And annoying a few hundred adult users with your oh so funny teenager humour that maybe 5 of you enjoy is just proof of that. This was an obvious misuse of forum admin privileges. It may be a good time to find a communit...

Re: Please help with zip password for Whispered Secrets 1-2

The easiest way to find these is probably to look for strings in the .EXE (preferably near other strings like "ZIP", "Adler", etc.) and try them all. Another idea would be to use a fake unzip DLL (if it's external) or simply adding a breakpoint on the unzip function of the EXE wh...

Re: PS3 Hyperdimension Neptunia MKII

I just hex-edited the files and bypassed that problem when I extracted the models a while back. :P Yeah, that would work if I knew a bit more about the format ;-) Do you have the source code (or a description of the fileformat with the various sections etc.) available somewhere? Anyways, it looks l...

Re: PS3 Hyperdimension Neptunia MKII

Works perfectly! Can you maybe update your program for Neptunia Victory? Many of the character models there seem to have an additional unknown section in the ISM2 file (see here for the log) The corresponding ISM2 file can be found here (400k): https://mega.co.nz/#!ZscHQL6B!Gd0Fg0_2H8wQFaX5zlJG0WRDB...
