jpsxdec's Issues

Issues with Spyro 2/3 Discs

Environment

jPSXdec version: v0.99.8
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit (though I've also used a Windows 10 Laptop which gave the same results)
Java runtime environment: 8 Update 201

PlayStation Game (if applicable)

Name: Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage / Spyro: Year Of The Dragon (both Greatest Hits ver)
Region code: SCUS-94425 / SCUS-94467

Description

Hello! I've managed to use JPSXDec to successfully rip from some of my physical PS1 discs, but i'm currently struggling with most of my copies of Spyro 2 & 3. In total I have some scratched PAL copies of Spyro 2 and 3, as well as very good condition NTSC copies of both games which are primarily what I was hoping to rip from. Both of my PAL Spyro 3's rip at least some of SPEECH.STR before they stop about halfway through and end, which i'm sure is due to damage, but my beat up PAL Spyro 2 as well as both NTSC copies of the games give me this error every time immediately after trying to scan SPEECH.STR:

jpsxdec.cdreaders.CdFileSectorReader$CdReadException

At first I thought it was the copy protection that both these games notoriously have that was causing this, but if that was the case why would my scratched up PAL Spyro 3's work? I also tried a couple of the games on my Laptop running Windows 10, but it also gave the same results as my Desktop does. I couldn't find anything else about this specific issue online, so I came straight to the source for help.

Thanks in advance!

Digimon World 2003 Missing Textures

Environment

jPSXdec version: 1.00rev3921
Operating system: Windows 10
Java runtime environment : 1.8.0_281

PlayStation Game (if applicable)

Name: Digimon World 2003
Region code (e.g. SLUS-1234): SLES-03936

Description

What were you doing?: Trying to extract the field texture files.

What happened?: Many textures are missing, as an example I have included a diagram of the textures that were extracted for the Asuka city area compared to a stitched screenshot of the game. It seems there must be something different about the way these textures are stored as PsPicture couldn't find them either.

What was or was not supposed to happen?: Ideally all the textures would be found.

Compatibility issues with Java 11.0.2

Java runtime environment: 11.0.2

PlayStation Game (if applicable)

Name:
Region code (e.g. SLUS-1234):

Description

Java 11 doesn't come with a separate JRE anymore. Instead, the JRE is in the /bin folder for the JDK. Despite pointing the system environment variables to the JRE that's in the /bin folder of JDK 11.0.2 and confirming it was working by running Java commands in the command prompt, jpsxdec won't recognize Java (this has also been done with JDK 10). In 0.99.7 beta, a popup stating that a Java runtime 1.5.0 is required would show up. In 0.99.8, running the .exe does nothing. Installing any version of JRE 8 will allow jpsxdec to run. Here's what it looks like when the .jar file tries to run in the command prompt under 11.0.2:

Add ability to extract XA files raw without converting

Environment

How to replace modified video w audio in Chrono Cross?

Environment

jPSXdec version: v1-04_rev3987
Operating system: Windows 10 x64 Home
Java runtime environment : openjdk version "1.8.0_282"

PlayStation Game (if applicable)

Name: Chrono Cross
Region code (e.g. SLUS-1234): SLUS-01041

Description

Hi, I found jpsxdec to be really helpful at being able to view/extract/convert videos from Chrono Cross but I'm looking to replace them with my own videos. Unfortunately Chrono Cross' cd contents use a different lookup table and the video/audio files themselves dont follow the standard STR/XA format. The replace-frames work with the last "Unnamed" video file but the replace-xa doesnt recognize the audio stream as an XA format. I wasn't able to re-inject modified .STR files using the same sector (xtractor.net) either as It boots to a black screen, probably because the audio/video sector doesnt match up to the documentation.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Can't extract intro video from Ridge Racer Type 4 [PAL]

It creates empty 0 byte files, instead of extracting the files correctly.

To Repro:

1. Open Air Combat in jPSXdec, using the UI.
2. Select "All Files" and click "Save All Selected"
3. Find the ouput folder DA/BGM1.DA
4. Notice the file is 0 bytes (as is every other file in this folder).
5. Check jPSX dec again. Find BGM1.DA and see that it says: "31,682,560 bytes"

SLUS-01272 007 - The World is not Enough

Hi, I see there is a list of games that have been tested. I went ahead and tested [ ] SLUS-01272 007 - The World is not Enough

It seems to work pretty well as the movies extract successfully, and even audio dialog.

But, there are no files for the music. That's a bit surprising because the movies and dialog have no trouble extracting, and it seems unlikely the music would be in a different file format, but I guess it must be the case.

Should this be marked as [!] - Something Doesn't Work?

Should there be a way to track what doesn't work?

PS2 game support in future?

Hi, this tool is incredible, would be interesting have future support for PS2 game formats like PSS (PlayStation Stream), SFD (CRI Softdec Video), BIK (BIK Video Container), MPC (Electronic Arts), VP6 (Electronic Arts)

Please, make BMP <--> MDEC Bitstream conversion mode.

It's feature request.
Your soft already has needed functionality, just need to make user interface to call that methods.
We currently don't have any easy way for BMP <--> BS conversion. The tools from Sony SDK are too long way. First we need to convert BMP to TIM with some settings, then we need to convert TIM to BS with some settings, while your program can do it directly.
It would be really useful for PSX games translation. Currently I need to encode back a lot of BMPs into BS, but forced to use that long way...

Spice Girls - Lots of silent .wavs

Testing on Spice World: I noticed that there are lots of .wave files extracted, but most of them are silent.

e.g. D_REHEAR.XA has 23 files from [0] through [22]. If you look at the clips starting at [7] they are all silent.
The same type of pattern applies on most of the XA files, and voice samples. Some voice samples (e.g. of BABY) have large gaps of silent clips interspersed among audible ones.

This is possibly not a bug, it might just be content that got cut from game, but I'm not sure.

Armored Core missing music

Environment

jPSXdec version: 1.00
Operating system: Windows

PlayStation Game (if applicable)

Name: Armored Core

Description

1. Extract all the music. Notice that you have 16 song files starting with "BGM". Two of these are some announcement made during one of the levels(?not sure?). That leaves 14 legitimate songs.
2. Notice that the song "Shape Memory Alloy" (the shopping music) is not present. The official sound track seems to indicate there is supposed to be 19 songs.

Result:
At least 1 song is known to be missing, and possibly as many as 5.

Since all the other music, and dialog files are all extractable, I don't think it's an unknown-format issue. I'm not sure why it's not finding that song.

No Commandline Argument for skipping audio from video files

I noticed that the UI allows you to skip audio files that come from video files. But the command line arguments don't seem to have that option. It would be nice to have.

What happened?:

On one file (DAT/BSTAGE.BD2), there is an image at the beginning that is not found by jpsxdec.

I can give you more details like the offset of where the TIM file starts and its length. I suspect this image to have many palettes.

All the other images were able to be extracted as expected by jpsxdec.

What was or was not supposed to happen?:
This image should be extracted like the other ones.

Additional info

The soundtracks (which plays during the races) are stored in "ALBUM2.ALB" and "ALBUM.ALB" files, in ADPCM Stereo format plays at 16000Hz and the interleave value is 8192 bytes(?) can be played with "Cube Media Player 2".

The dialogue/monologues, menu music, SFX, and some other sounds are stored in "FENOIZ_E.DAT" and "RASHNZ_E.DAT" files, plays at 8000Hz ~ 16000Hz. (Unknown format but PS Sound plays them / XA maybe).

The FMV video format in this game is still unknown, or at least it's hidden somewhere on the disc! There are at least 62 FMV's in this game though....

SLUS-00508 Beast Wars - Transformers - Music has long silences at the end

Turning this comment into a bug, as mentioned on one of the other bugs:

SLUS-00508 Beast Wars - Transformers.

There, the music seems to export correctly, but the files have about ~40 seconds of silence at the end. They all seem to be exactly 2 minutes at 55 seconds long, regardless of the length of the content.

Example:
AUDIO1.STR[0].wav is 2:47 long, but has a file time of 2:55
AUDIO1.STR[1].wav is 1:58 long, but has a file time of 2:55
AUDIO1.STR[2].wav is 2:00 long, but has a file time of 2:55

etc etc.

Edit: Another game with the same issue is Mary Kate & Ashley - Magical Mystery Mall.

Make this program rip anything inside str.bin from Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMIX to 5thMIX

str.bin stores bgm, sound effects and voice announcer from most DDR PSX games (3rdMIX to 5thMIX and etc.). So far, they can be ripped via PSound but majority of them have clicks and/or scratchy sounds in between so the quality is not good. I am hoping that these can be ripped via jpsxdec too.

3. BGM003.XA is split into 4000+ files, each representing just one note.
4. ENDLESUS sounds normal, which is strange because all the other music files are broken.
5. LINKWRAY and UKU sounds like it's skipping

Replace SEQ file

Environment

jPSXdec version: 1.04
Operating system:
Java runtime environment :

PlayStation Game
Tail Concerto (USA) and (JAPAN)

---

Description

I'm making a fan-translation/Dub of Tail Concerto and everything that the JPSXDEC can do worked flawlessly.

The translation is nearly completed and all that is left is to replace the remaining SEQ files.
The PSound is capable of only viewíng SEQ files, so could it be possible to add a function to ''ReplaceSEQ'' for the JPSXDEC?

I've been working over a year to translate this game and I'm sure this function will be useful for other people as well.

Some WVE files still not detected if scanned from a .bin image.

Environment

jPSXdec version: jpsxdec_v1-00_rev3921
Operating system: Windows 8.1 x64
Java runtime environment: build 1.8.0_231-b11

PlayStation Game (if applicable)

What were you doing?:
I tried to scan the WVE files inside of the image.

What happened?:
While almost of them are detected, there's some of the files that aren't detected.

However, if I open the WVE directly (By extracting it from the image or mount the bin with virtual drive software), it works though

What was or was not supposed to happen?:
All of the WVE files inside of the image should be detected.

And here I provided the debug.log as well if it helps

Any plans to add modern video formats/codecs (if possible)? + Rakugaki Showtime report

Your tool is incredibly useful, for which I thank you. I was just wondering since AVI is an old format. Or maybe there's reason it has to be AVI? I have no idea.

Also, you can check off Rakugaki Showtime as [!] if you still update your Testing list. Everything extracted and converted just fine, except for the sound effects (you can extract those with PSound). I'm not sure which file the SFX were stored in. Maybe ARA.bin? In any case, JPSXDec didn't find them.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night - Sounds a bit different?

I'm not sure this a bug, but the sound on Castlevania Symphony of the Night sounds a little bit off.

Track XA_STR1[1] begins with the caves theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvYTbyPwoTE

However, the sound seems a bit muffled for some reason. I can't put my finger on it.

Andretti Racing - Sector scanning fails with error message

Environment

jPSXdec version: jpsxdec_v1-05-beta
Operating system: Windows 8.1 Pro x64
Java runtime environment : openjdk version "11.0.11" 2021-04-20

PlayStation Game (if applicable)

Name: Andretti Racing
Region code (e.g. SLUS-1234): SLUS-00264

Description

What were you doing?:
I was trying to analyze the contents inside the Track 1 (which is the game's main track for the data except the BGMs which uses CD audio)

What happened?:
Upon reaching sector 45979, jPSXdec threw this error message and thus abort the scanning process:

This is probably related to the WVE format support.

What was or was not supposed to happen?:
jPSXdec should able to scan all of the datas, or at least treat the unrecognizable data as a generic non-stream file.

Also, here's both of the log files
debug00.log
index.log

Zooboomafoo - Leapin' Lemurs! detects 18000 sound effects

1. Try to extract audio from Zooboomafoo - Leapin' Lemurs!
2. Notice that about 18000 .wav files are created
3. Only the first ~500 look valid, and everything after that is exactly 4KB in size, and seem to be garbage data.

Seems like something went wrong with the index?
