I think he means the ending themes. They're looking for songs that will serve as the new season's ending themes.

That's the part of the story I've wanted to know for so long. It will be interesting to see what happened, and what exactly was Manami's part in it.

No mention of Ayase despite of the ending of previous novel. Maybe they will release more detailed synopsis later with the cover art.

>>1872215
Heh, I've noticed you like them a lot.

Most of the pages in the guidebook are like this.

Well, the information is probably already somewhere in the wiki, but that looks pretty neat. The wiki isn't fully thorough, so it makes it kind of hard to get 100% without trial and error.

Hello, NMiau and Z.G. I am very excited for the next novel and season 2! Anything interesting coming up in the OreImo world besides those two items?

Were those images ever extracted from the game? I'm guessing they weren't.

Someone extracted them from the second game.

>>1874698
But that image isn't from the first or second game. It's from the extra game that came with the first game.

There should be like 25-35 CGs in that game.

Doing the Lord's work. I put off the game for a while, but now I feel motivated to finish it as well as the imouto maker.

>>1874700
That game is Imouto Maker EX, right?

>>1874862
Yes thats it.

I searched around and found that the
kind anon who extracted the other CGs had trouble with that game. I don't know if he made more progress after that.

I'll try to see what I can do. Thanks to that anon's work I have a sample input/output that should help.

The website on the monitor is Kiririn Wiki, which archives fan made short stories and images from the 2ch threads:

http://www44.atwiki.jp/kiririn/

>>1874896
That anon here. Extracting the afs archives was simple. The CG files of Imouto Maker Ex are stored as one T2P and one BIP file each, whereas the BIP file is usually around 50kb and the T2P is ~5kb.
There are quite a few uses for BIP, for example for some kind of geographical program that uses them for maps and stuff. I think our best bet is 3ds Max Character Studio, but I haven't tried that one yet. 3ds Max uses bip files for storing animation data. I never played Imouto Maker EX, so I don't know what kind of CGs they are (animated or not), but this crappy format is driving me crazy. Could really need some help here: http://www.mediafire.com/?mn6z0uesquxridu
These are all the Event files, I believe. I don't care who gets it, as long as they share how they did it. I'll also continue trying.

PS: I also think it's strange that the files are so small. Is it the way the images are stored? There is nothing else on that disc that could store the event CGs.

>>1875482
Me again, after looking around, I found some thread that's actually discussing the same issue, and it seems like they made progress
http://bbs.app43.com/thread-28429-1-1.html

>>1875485
Me again, I've asked a friend for help, and we are getting there... Probably.

>>1875482
>>1875485
CGs are the same as the main game. .bip = Band Interleaved by Pixel. Not related to 3ds Max's .bip I think. I can into .bip format a bit, but I'm getting nothing but static/noise.

Looking at the website, it says both files are compressed (with LZSS). Uncompressing T2Ps gives you gims (this explains the gimconv time stamp at the bottom of the file.) but the proportions are off. The program to uncompress seems to be on that site as an undercover .txt file (.exe.txt). The last post on that site is probably the most important one and I don't know what it's referring to.

Thank you for answering and posting that link. Well, my quest for those 6-7 Kiririn images continues.

>>1875519
We are almost there, now it's only a matter of adjusting a few pixels, because we still have a repeated line. Wait for it

>>1875506
>>1875522

Yeah, I can see that. I'll just wait in that case. CG114A should probably be your testing CG by the way, since there's a perfect output for it already.

>>1875524
No, I meant that literally, there was only one line that kept repeating itself.
http://www.mediafire.com/?mpq34rr4twhq5q6

This was quite the jump. Many thanks go to 10th Mystery for helping me to understand the website and for compiling the algorithm after we finally found a decoder for BIP.

>>1875532
Awesome. Thanks again.

So it wasn't compressed? You just decoded it immediately? What was the process? I doubt I'll ever see something like this again, much less actually use it but I'm still curious.

>>1875537
The process was to decode the BIP file using a variant of LZSS. After that, 10th compiled the program that rewrites the header of the decoded *.dec file into bmp, using RGBA as the palette. The problem was that it turned out like >>1875506, so a resize algorithm was added. Sadly, there was no dimension tag in the bip file, so the program only works for these event CGs and some of the background CGs. The character CGs are a lot more complicated, since they consist of tiles and four different palettes, but in the end, they are probably the same as the ones from the games. I hope that helps.

>>1875541
I see. That helps out a lot.

Yes, all of the backgrounds are used in the second game. Ayase, Saori and Manami are missing character CGs from imouto maker. All of Kirino's have been extracted and compiled (I think that was you too?).

Seriously anon...thanks. You've put in a lot of time and effort into this.

By the way, what does she say? "Kaneshi"... I think that was "fiancé"? Or something.

"Kyousuke is my boyfriend."

That's from the end of her route in the game. Same as the CG. These files are from Imouto Maker EX. Ripped directly from the game.

Kirino's sound files from Imouto Maker EX. Literally everything she says in it. Enjoy.

>>1875716
>>1875717
Oh, so Imouto Maker actually has routes as well? I didn't think it was that important of a game. Too bad I've never catched any stream of that one.
Umn, so, how did you go about extracting the ADX files? I'm always willing to learn.
And thanks a lot.

>>1875718
Wow, nevermind, that was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be, after all the trouble that game gave us. Thanks again.

>>1875719
>>1875718
Yeah it was just an extraction followed by a conversion (to wav).

Now the first and second game...that's different. They seem to be similar but compressed (just need to decompress them) using another method. You can SEE the files but there's errors after that.

>>1875720
Also, to add a bit more, since you may be thinking on extracting the first and second game too. The sound files are compressed with afs/afs2 format it seems. There's programs and info on afs (and that's what I did to get the broken(?) files) but not afs2. I think that the end result will be ADX files again.

>>1875723
This may sound stupid, but how did you go about decompressing the awb file first?

>>1875723
Isn't afs the same archive format the CGs from Imouto Ex were in? What's the problem with extracting them the same way?

>>1875725
>>1875727
I used two programs. The one that worked with Imouto Maker did nothing. The other one gave me a good 2-3 errors and incorrect(?) output.

>>1875728
But how did you decompress the *.awb to the afs and afs2 files? I'm not all that good with reading headers and stuff.

>>1875728
Well, I'm not all that eager to get the sound files, I'm more of a visual kind of guy, though it would be nice to have Kirino's confessions. I'll probably be waiting for your input on this one~

>>1875731
>>1875732
Right at the beginning of voice.awb file in the second game, there's HEX 41 46 53 32. That translates to AFS2 and it's what leads me to believe that the file is an compressed by it.

I thought I mentioned it. I didn't and I apologize. Furthermore, I think we should take this to /g/ or something.

>>1875734
>I think we should take this to /g/ or something.
I'd love to join that discussion. Back when I first started extracting the CGs after the second game came out, I tried my luck with the bgm.awb because people were requesting the soundtrack, but to no avail. So, I am always willing to learn. But I get the feeling that most of the people over there would shit on us because of entry level stuff.

Posting Kirino for relevancy

>>1875717
Oh dear god, thank you. This has made my day.

>>1875736
One last comment I guess.

I went back to the first game (first time I even look at it internally) and was able to extract the files out of the voice file, since it wasn't AFS2. What was left was bin/noExt files. They're HCA format. It's an actual sound format. The problem is that it's new and from comments I read people haven't been able to decode it.

>>1875774
You must be talking about the original first game's ISO, then. Because in the release of the seconds game, the disc containing the first game has the voice.awb compressed as AFS2 (new standards, I guess).
What format was it compressed as, and did you find the decompressor? Since I don't have the original release disc, I can't try my luck on that, but hey, curiosity. This is all highly interesting.
Maybe we really should make a thread on /g/. I have a PS2 game I want to extract and I don't even know where to begin. (IMG file, but not an image)

>>1875806
You're right, I was talking about the original first game. The format it was compressed/bundled as was cpk and yes everything necessary to get those files out is out there. I don't recommend you doing it unless you plan to decode the resulting HCA audio files.

As for your Haruhi issues, img files are sometimes also iso files. In any case, you can go the "burn to cd, rip into an iso" route. It's really dumb but I think it should work.

Sorry again for the derail, guys. We mean no harm. We're just trying to find a way to get more Kiririn.

>As for your Haruhi issues, img files are sometimes also iso files. In any case, you can go the "burn to cd, rip into an iso" route. It's really dumb but I think it should work.
Sadly, that's not the case, haha.
The rom is already an iso, but the files have no folder structure. Almost everything is archived in a file called MELAN.IMG (It's the biggest file on the disc, about 2,75 gigs), that's 1/6 files on the disc.
Checking it with hex only gave me the hint that there might be TIM2 formated images in there, but Timtool 1.0 doesn't do anything when I feed it the IMG, or maybe I just don't know how to. I read it up and found out that compressing all the data into an IMG file is a rather rare way of storing PS2 games, bad luck. Driver 3 used the same mechanism, and as far as I can tell from google, there are a lot of people having trouble with it. Unless I find a way to decompress it, I'll be stuck with youtube quality screenshots of the CGs, I guess.

Anyway, I found a cpk decompressor earlier, I think, that's interesting. But I won't try to decode those audio files, I'm just not fit enough for something other people already failed at.

Posting more Kirino to keep it at least somewhat related, sorry guys.

Also, someone please tell me if pic related is too lewd for /c/, I'm not here that often after all.

I completely misunderstood then. I want to give that format a try, but that'll be after my decoding attempt of HCA.

That should be ok by he way.
