Power Stone 2 help

[RRMC]

I need the non-selfboot 1ST_READ.BIN and IP.bin for Power Stone 2. Someone please help. I really need it! If anyone can,
e-mail it to [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

If none of you can send me the 1SR_READ.BIN and IP.bin, then can you tell me how to make the Selfboot .bin files not selfboot, as in needing a boot disk?

But why do you need to "unselfboot" a game ???

[RRMC]

Since the Echelon way of making my games selfboot doesn't work (can't open new session) , I use Bin2Boot. I have decided to put custom music in Power Stone 2. My backup was made selfboot with Bin2Boot, and my non-selfboot copy was destroyed.(not the original!) I am thinking that the easiest way to do this is to burn the plain files with my custom ADX files, but it doesn't work that way because of the Bin2boot process. I need to know how to reverse it. Now that I know how, I am having trouble. Being new at this, I don't know what CD001 is. Is it in the 1ST_READ.BIN? Or the IP.BIN? Or is it in any other files? I have tried searching for it file by file, but I can't find it. What is it?

[Megalexxx]

It's a caracter string. You should find it in all bin files you must binhack. With Windows Explorer, you should find all these files easily (look for *.bin file containing "CD001").

[RRMC]

Nope, I couldn't find any CD001 files in the cd. What I tried last was to make an iso with WinIso, and use bin2boot again, but it keeps on telling me that a record for the IP.BIN is not set/found. I'm sure that if I knew how to hack the 1ST_READ.BIN and IP.BIn, I could do this. Is there a tutorial that teaches you how? Or can you tell me?

[Megalexxx]

I've got Echelon's release of Power Stone 2, and I found 4 files CONTAINING "CD001" :
_ 1st_read.bin
_ 2_dp.bin
_ Maigo.bin
_ Sg_dpldr.bin

You must BinHack them all.

To get the original ip.bin, you can use my tool to extract it from a CDI image.

[RRMC]

Ok, now that I have those files, how do I hack them?

[Megalexxx]

BinHack them with the LBA your want !!! (0 if you use Bin2Boot)

[RRMC]

Ok, now I know what to do. But how do I hack the files? I mean, with binhack, what are the instructions to use it?

[Megalexxx]

In a DOS command window :
_ type "binhack" (you have to be in the right directory, you should find that by yourself)
_ enter the name of the file you want to hack (first time, enter "1st_read.bin", 2nd time "maigo.bin", ...)
_ enter "ip.bin"
_ enter your LBA value

[RRMC]

Thanks!!

[RRMC]

Whoa, looks like I still need your help. Ok, I binhacked the files like you said. Then I put them in my iso file using winiso. When I tried to use bin2boot, It still said that the record of the IP.BIN was not found. At that point I said screw it and burned the plain files with the new .bin files. When I used the boot-disk it was looking like it was working, but then the screen went blank. Also when I tried to binhack the files again, it kept on saying that it was unable to open the ip.bin. What's the problem?

[Megalexxx]

_ Use my tool to extract ip.bin from a selfboot CDI image ("ip extractor"), or copy one from another game.
_ Be sure your set the correct 1st read file in your ip.bin (check that with ipBin4Win; it should be "1st_read.bin).
_ Binhack all our files with LBA = 0.
_ Then, make a ç660 ISO file using the tool you want, including all your files + your hacked bin files + your ip.bin.
_ Then use Bin2Boot.

OK, BUT HE ASKS FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

BOOTSECTOR
MSINFO VALUE



SINCE I'LL USE BIN2BOOT, I GAVE 0 AS BOOTSECTOR AND MSINFO.
IS THAT RIGHT ?


PS: he created a "0" file. what i did wrong ?
