just to let you know that shining tools is still in progress (now, i can read the idx correctly and i'm progressing on decoding this shitty ill_data.bin) for professional reasons, i won't have an internet connection for 4 months, but I'll keep working on it during that time, so i hope i'll have...

thx for the info some "picture" datablocks aren't followed by "palette" datablock, so i was assuming that they used the last defined palette But they could in fact use no palette if they're grayscale pictures And this could be the meaning of the 0x1?? flag i'll check that after i get my...

Here are some news of my current progress : ILL_DATA.IDX Format : - It's divided into 8bytes-wise indexblocks - each indexblock defines a datablock in ILL_DATA.BIN - each indexblock is formated like this : -> [first 4 bytes] * 0x800 = Offset of datablock -> [last 4 bytes] = Length of...

I warned you, it's far from complete If you look at Shining Force 3 sc1, there's also a SPR file that contains multiple images, but by setting the resolution correctly, you can see that in fact, it's only one big image I'm currently re-developping it, and i have Phantasy Star Collection, so...

dunno if this could be of interest, but i once developped a little utility in Visual Basic 6 that was able to read some saturn files : - shining force 3 intro/ending images - Street Fighter Alpha 2 image gallery - Cinepak movies (color conversion is still buggy) It supported real cd-rom or...
