I assume that it'll change per .iso so you'll have to try parsing the .iso header.

Not sure how to do it properly but if you can search for the file name,
above it you'll find the starting LBA and then the file size.

Starting LBA comes first and is stored in both endian formats.
The file size in bytes is next, again in both formats.

iso_a.png


0xDDD0 * 0x800 = 0x06EE8000 so this is the start of the .png

iso_b.png


The size was 0x56AC (22188) bytes so the end is at 0x06EED6AC

iso_c.png


You can possibly find a library to do it properly

Thanks Jam, i noticed that the Disk image of a PSP game, contains only one file ICON0.PNG, so i'll just IndexOf the string minus a few vytes to get the position and size :D

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
