Looks like I have a copy of the program. Runs on x86 windows.
Usage: updatePS.exe fname.bin Input_Dir Method;
Method: 1=Audio Overwrite, 2=Video Overwrite, 3=Both
Fname.bin should be track2 of the redump version of the game.
You need to have the audio and video files inside of the specified input directory.
Audio files need to be named Audio_1.mp2 , Audio_2.mp2 , Audio_3.mp2 , ... Audio_N.mp2
Video files need to be named Video_1.m1v , Video_2.m1v , Video_3.m1v , ... Video_N.m1v
** Disclaimer - I'm not looking to incorporate anything derived from the rerelease for the time being, so feel free to make a separate track2 only patch if you want. Too paranoid of C&Ds. My copy just got shipped in the mail today....
Epic that you remember where all this goes, and you found the your custom program. That was a concern with making it. The laser targets a specific spot on the disc, and if it's not there it says no can do sir, and gives an error manifested as a black screen crash.
I experimented with CBR on the video at around that rate, and only got an odd stutter halfway thru it, but I got it fixed.
The audio coincidentally is in the same parameters I used minus the odd usage of dual-mono channels in .mp2,
One mono channel handles the left and other the right channel.
I have a sealed copy, that I have refused to open for about 15 years (since I got the PC version).
But I am just going to order an open one and see if this is how the original was. I remember the original disc being in the correct color hue when a buddy of mine had it in the late 90's. I got a feeling whoever repacked it back then (original Japanese one) edited the video to make it fit on a regular CD-R.
One advantage that it has (and I hope the original follows) is that there is audio on the beginning, and the end of each video. Audacity has a auto record feature that starts recording audio, and it auto stops when it stops "hearing it". So I play the Japanese one, record it which creates a timer, which I then use to match the English one to. It speeds up editing by a lot.
Edit : I am also going to check if the real cd has dual-mono audio. This is too strange for them to have used.
