PoPoLoCrois 1gb RIPKIT

[cocacola75]

hey , ive been trying to rip the full iso myself , tried to replace a few movies here and there to make it fit on my 1gb , but sadly it doesnt boot , i get an error after umdemu launched the emulation , so if anyone gets a ripkit or know what to do...
thanks

[isthar]

so I'm fearing that...

data\fld_chr stands for "folder checker" ? and therefore its one of those games that verifies its files. How, no clue. I'm also only speculating to be honest.

To begin with, it'd be nice if someone with a 2gb stick would confirm that it loads, and how, then we can worry about a rip.

[wiggim]

all it can check really is LBA positions like gripshift really. Its hard for it to scan file sizes while loading without bad lag.

Hi all . It's not really that hard to rip Popolo. Just go into the mov folder and replace s3107 through 4something with the psp intro pmf (20kb) and rebuild. I'm guessing the s3 stands for senerio 3 so you won't miss much until way late in the game. When you do get there just put them back in and replace the pmfs that have a s1 and s2 since you have already seen them. It works for me using Fastloader 7.

[isthar]

vegita: did you recreate the iso with umdgen or vcdrom? what version of each?

[Gherudos]

data\fld_chr is the character data

Not working here....i tried to replace them with your 0.pmf and chagned the names. i took these ones out.=>

s2_c322.pmf

s2_c302.pmf

s3_c107.pmf

s3_c101.pmf

I ytook those out and replaced them with your 20 kb file( i changed the names offcourse)

[timmetjuh15]

Hm... i seem not to can edit my post....

I got it working... =D i dont have to rip some thing at all =D

i could just paste it into my iso folder =D

So no problems here =D

[luna1988]

damn i cant rebuild the iso file cuz me vcdrom extension says there are to many directories in it.

that sucks :(

Use UMD Gen 1.0.2
Far more user-friendly.

you did what?

i read there's a rip out there -- done by relinking.

[xposer]

Works fine if you replace the movies with the blank pmf that's out there and then rebuild using vcdromx. Copy load w/ boot.bin on in umdemu 0.8c.

[Bad Andy]

Any sort of rip that keeps the movies? I can't stand playing an RPG without movies. It makes me feel dirty.

uhm, well.. you can rip all the music, or just play the movie files you ripped with PMF player later..

[zoglog]

there's another rip out there that relinks the movies and fits on 1GB.

[adelnikov]

i have a 926Mo Rip which work fine.

[0x90]

I make sererals trys to rip this game.

All failed when using UMDgen !
But it works when rebuilding iso with vcdrom.

Warn, you need a registered version !

[romuloarpini]

Where can i download the ripkit with movies relinked? :(

Plz :(

[leopardone]

mmm... keeping the movies, is possible to DESTROY the music?
1st - I can save space :D
2nd - I can save my nervous system :P

thx in advance!!! :)

[Alseides]

Guys, If you try replacing any pmf (video clip) files from the game with blank ones, it will crash when the game trys to load the "replaced" video clip. There is a 900+ meg ripped ISO out there which will crash when you reach the part where a "dog" tried to explain to you the history of the floating city. I tried it with the full ISO (1.2 Gig) and it works fine.

[romuloarpini]

Plz! :(

Someone upload ripkit with movies relinked! :( :( :(

[0x90]

I've removed *.xwd files (267MB) from sound directory and the game works fine with musics and sounds. No idea if these files are usefull or not but i managed to reach book 3 of the game (more than 7 hours).
I also removed directoy "âRâsü[ ü` bene" and "âRâsü[ ü` bpty" in obj.

I also see such a ripped ISO.
NFO say they relinked Movies but look like they just replaced some pmf by blank ones !
Probably blank mpf aren't in same format, so game crash when reading them.
If you relink video to one original pmf of the game it should work.

[Treyarch]

No luck rebuilding the iso with UMDGen, I'm gonna try with vcdromx :confused:

[Treyarch]

Yep, works like a charm, you have to use vcdromx (any old version like v3.5 will work) to make this iso work, I don't have a clue why. Anyway, I used the method by 0x90 above, I ripped the *.xwd files in the sound folder and the 2 weird folders ƒRƒs�[ �` bene and ƒRƒs�[ �` bpty in the obj folder. The game loads successfully and no movies ripped.

[Treyarch]

Oh by the way, you end up with a 800Mb iso. Quite a decent rip from a 1.17Gb dump!

[sudeki300]

did you completly removed the files from the iso or replaced with the same file but 0kb. please let us know :D cos thats what i don't understand.thanks in advance......sudeki300

[sudeki300]

it's ok followed the instructions and with the update folder i got it down to 784MB,now i can get another game on my 1gig instead of only having one.thanks 0x90 you've been a great help with this game..sudeki300 :D

[luna1988]

yea i want to know either

[sudeki300]

no completly delete these files from the iso and the update folder and you end up with 784MB. the way i done it was moved all the *xwd files into a folder and checked the size at the end and if you end up with 267MB you know you've got them all....sudeki300 :D

[Hamsandwhich]

does anyone know what sounds the .xwd files represent? I don't want to get rid of any background sounds... though I wouldn't mind getting rid of the music. Talk about annoying. :) Or maybe insert some final fantasy tunes.. ? :p

Try to rename some .xwd to .wav and open them in goldwave !!
Don't know what is the correct rate and attributs but it works and are the same that in game musics.

So for me the .xwd files are wav musics and .sgb are the same files compressed !

The game works if you remove all .xwd so look like they are unused :)

[Hamsandwhich]

Excellent -- thanks for the tip!!

[shank69xo]

I just tryed 0x90's method and it works great. I havent played the game yet, but it loads just fine. Nice find. ;)

[maniefrizzle]

are my files a lil' different than everyone else's? the sound extentions i have are .xwb not .xwd

[shank69xo]

Ohh yeah. Forgot to mention that too. :)

[Hamsandwhich]

Sorry -- that was a typo on my part. :o

[Hamsandwhich]

I just ripped the full iso per 0x90's suggestions. Works like a charm! :)

[luna1988]

does anyone know where i can get VCDromX 3.5 or older?

cuz I can only find version 3.8

[darkovo]

Why 3.5? I thought v3.8 works OK anyway, that's what I've been using and had no problems with creating the .iso for me.

[shank69xo]

I am using a Chinese 3.6 Works fine for me. I'm one of those kind of people who think "if isnt broke, dont try fixinf it" Thats why I never tryed any other versions, or an english one. Not sure if I can put a yousendit link for it here, but Im sure you guys a resourceful enought ot find one.

[luna1988]

Why 3.5? I thought v3.8 works OK anyway, that's what I've been using and had no problems with creating the .iso for me.

it gives me a error that there are to many folders in the iso to make :confused:

[gnizexpert]

here is my jap rip ver 459 mb
http://alucard.cc/forum/index.php?topic=827.new#new

[PapaBaz]

i used the method of removing the *.xwb files but when i go to load i get a black scree. using umd Emulator 0.8 and was wondering what are the 3 regions u guys have it set to, i messed around with mine and i think i done something wrong. thanks.

[shank69xo]

I just leave the Regionfree alone. All the options are gray. And I load with Direct Load option

[PapaBaz]

still no luck
when i extract the iso i get the .bin file and the psp folder
i remove whatever i like from inside the psp folder and rebuild with the .bin and psp folder in umdgen.
is this right?
should i get a working game now?
sorry for being such a newb in this!!

[iiiemuiii]

use vcdromx to rebuild the iso. umdgen doesn't work for this game

[PapaBaz]

excellent, works a treat. slow but does the job. thanks a lot.

[Vexon]

Method by 0x90 worked like a charm :D
Thanks

[lee3232232]

havent ripped before , cant make heads and tails on what i need to rip it, i tried the ripkit down to 931mb but all i get is a md5 signature not correct and wont rip it..

files needed to rip , etc exact instructions on what i need to get?


thanks :)

Hey could u reupload that for me thanks so much :)

[jessekenyon]

wont work for me either. It freezes at a blank screen after the g-artists logo no matter what I rip out it is the same thing. I tried all emulators and I rebuilt with vcdromx. I dumped the umd myself and it is 1.17GB. I about to give up. It would be easier to get a 2GB memory stick and not have to do all this.

[Valnomien]

1st of all 926mb version doesnt work, whoever released it i can't remember if it was lightforce or some group like that, cuz when you get to the first cut scene the screen blanks out and psp turns off. I got a copy from espalpsp.com which is around 839mb all that was deleted were the compressed *.xwb files in the \sound directory which as far as i can tell are the same music files as the *.sgb files so I have a game which works and shows full movie cut scenes and i'm already up to scenario 3 and i can hear music and sfx fine.

just do what others are suggesting by deleting the *xwb files and that folder with the weird symbols and you'll have a clean copy

[drucrous]

Well, I'm officially pissed off!. ( i get to the dog bit, and that's it)

[rant]
This thread is the result of stupid fuc*king newbies ripping and releasing **** and trying to save some precious megabytes. It would help if they actually knew what they were doing.

Oh no my megabytes! i don't want to waste them releasing a game that works properly! oh no!

My megabytes are soo rare! i cannot afford to waste them!. They are my babies!
[/end.rant]

And the worst bit about all this is that i only came across this game a while ago, after it was torrented for so long. And do you think i can find a fix for the USA(bullshit) release? oh no, OF COURSE NOT!. Because some moron thought it would be a good idea to torrent as fix for a game rather than uploading it to megagames for example..

Fucksake get you act together you ppl that rip games and **** them up -_-.

Damn i really want to know the history of Bryonia =\
