Ripping Xenogears FMVs

Post by EBwiz » Wed Jul 10, 2002 8:51 am

Hi all. I'm wondering if anyone knows of anyway to rip Xenogears for PSX's FMvs without the need for a video capture card which I currently don't have at the moment. I know I can't do it in PSMPlay or PSMC, because it doesn't have any STR files (It's seemingly and unfortunately compressed) Any ideas people?

They hide the FMVs probably. I believe PSMPlay has a search command that lets it seek thru the entire image, looking for movies. Tekken 3 had that kinda thing going and so did Chrono Cross.

Here's a way

Go here: matrixz CDAZ library search

Enter "Xenogears" (without the quotes) on the search field and hit the [Search] button (it's next to dropdown menu with OR selected)

It will return 1 result, so you just download the Xenogears CDAZ from there.

Extract the file (if you don't have LZH exractor, you can use www.WinAce.com) and there will be two analyze files with numbers on its names.

Move those two files to your PSXMC\Analyze directory.

Run PsxMC, insert a Xenogears PSX-CD and click on analyze. The app will then ask you whether to use the CDAZ file or not. Select yes to use it.

Tada!
