Reverse-Engineering ITG PC

So, I've been a little bored, and I decided to take a look at the PCK files for the beta.

Looking at pck.idx, I can see a reference to "Songs/In The Groove/Dawn/Music.ogg"

If you look at the bytecode before that reference, you will see:

Did you test this?

The PCK packers/unpackers haven't worked with ITG PC.

I extracted the two ogg files, and they play fine.

I suppose I can try an image file, too. I'll do that in a few minutes.

I extracted a .png from it.

This upload most likely falls under fair use, given the following fair-use tests:

1) The infringement is done for the purposes of furthing reasearch about a program.
2) The portion and relation of the use: This is one image, and is a very very small excerpt. It's also not an integral portion of the game itself, the game could function quite well without it, and it has no market in and of itself.
3) The effect on the market. I can't conceive of a case where someone would not purchase the game because they saw one group selection image.

(See http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Copyright/principles.html for more info on fair use)

Mods, if you still find this unacceptable, feel free to delete it.

i think its alright to post or talk about it cause there is a post going on about hacking and repacking the itg ps2 disc so i guess its all fair

If its this easy, I wonder why everyone is having such a problem extracting things using the regular .PCK unpackers...

It shouldn't be hard to make a program to pack/unpack things. Its already been done for the PS2 version.

Am I the only one that completely doesn't understand this at all?

I just tried to get the Static.ini out and I followed everything. It didn't work.

I'm going to try to put in a song of my own now.

EDIT: crashed...

There's already an unpacker that somewhat works with the .pck files from ItG PC, though it only pulls out .pngs and .oggs, and some .669 files (Which are, I believe, not actually .669 files!).
