You mean just a general hacking forum?

Hum...

yep.

what do you mean, a .bin reader?

I want to look into .bin files.  All games have .bin files and I want to look into some of them, mainly to seeif there are any FMV's in them.

oh ok, so you just mean a game file reader? This one reads a LOT of formats....

arnt .bin files cd image files? they r usealy with a .cue file

Well, in that case I guess but programs will use the letters "BIN" to mean "binary file", same with DAT, they use it all over as a "generic" extension.

Personally I think it's way overused.

Is a .bin file likely to have FMV sequences in it?

don't know... Probably if it is big....

Sometimes though the data will be embedded in other files, (for example, in Starcraft the FMV sequences are hidden in the install file, which basically contains EVERYTHING...... that's why its ~600 mb)

thats one Big Install file..

Yeah, but it's an efficient way to store stuff. (What it really is is an installer EXE stub + a game archive (MPQ aka MoPaq)

Ah, I get you. it just holds stuff better than most do.

But it can't read PS files

hmm, best thing I can think of is to search the net for information on PS file formats.

What exactly is a PS file? I've never heard of tthem.

... It's not so much a "PS" file extention.. more like a Playstation game.

Ahh, those are ISO and other file Extintions, I'v messed with them some.

thats how my Op2 game is, its an ISO, never need the CD.  B)  

I'm trying to get an FMV off of one of my game disks.

That can get pretty hard be cause there is a quite a few files inside the disk in Alot of different file extintions.  So its like hunting for the needle in a hey stack.

Think you caould help me?

I mean though, the PS has standard APIs for accessing from some sort of packages.... (like Windows has for accessing files)

So when I am referring to "PS File" that means, any file that is readable by the PS filesystem.... sort of like the Virtual File Systems employed by most newer games... (examples:

PAK, WAD - Half Life / Quake
VOL - Outpost2
MPQ, SCM, SCX, ... - Starcraft, Warcraft3, Diablo2+, most newer Blizzard games
WAR - Warcraft 1 and 2
MIX, MMX, MMP, ... - Westwood / Command & Conquer (newer versions, Tiberian sun, RA, and up)
DRS - Age of Empires 1 and 2
... you get the point)

they treat each of these files as a sort of "Hard drive in a file". I imagine it's the same way for the PS/PS2/Xbox/Gamecube/ etc.

@_@ Wha?  I just got a whole lot of nothing from that..
