viiigine / News: Recent posts

We added two short articles on site:
-Second article about LZS
http://viiigine.com/articles/LZS-native-unpacker-part-2.php

-Article about AFS descriptors and resource loading in FF8 native code
http://viiigine.com/articles/per-aspera-ad-resources.php

It's first public release of viiigine utilities. Previous versions were too buggy and contained a lot of tracing code. We fixed two biggest bugs of 0.1.1 and now you can test our utils by files generated with ficeLZS or similar. Testing file should be compressed in 8-bit mode.

This release contains only lzs unpacker yet, but we hope next release will be done soon.

We wrote an article about LZS method implementation in FF8. You can read it here: http://viiigine.com/articles/LZS-native-unpacker.php

Project is looking for assistance in FFVIII file format discovery.
