ZOMG!!

Opens up your FFT .ISO :3

In the left of the pane is an explorer... it should be in the main folder, but if its not, look around. i think the european version has a different directory structure than the US

If you can find it. close UMDGen and reopen it and repeat the process.. sometimes UMDGen doesnt recognize all the files are there at first.

Okay, I'm still in the UMDGen window, in the Explorer tab. Underneath Name, there is UMD_DATA.BIN (I'm running the US version, by the way). Am I on the right track?

[SentinalBlade]

hehe, near it. this is where you need to start looking for FFTpack.bin
just keep clicking on folders till you see it

[CidIII]

Yes, you are!

Now click on the 'USRDIR' folder on the left hand side. AND, THERE'S fftpack.bin hopefully!

lol, now you can finally start getting to the fun stuff!  

[Cottage Cheese]

Folders on the left hand side? All I see is something that says "No Label".

Oh, and hi again, CidIII!

[SentinalBlade]

thanks cidIII been a bit since i did this for the PSP and i dont have a nicely ripped ISO >.<

[CidIII]

Really, did you some how close your .ISO?

You should see 'SQ' right next to the UMD Icon.

Then 'PSP_GAME' click on the '+' to the left on that and it should reveal two more folders. 'SYSDIR', and 'USRDIR'.

Yeah, I was at a friends house this weekend :wink:

[Cottage Cheese]

Hmmm.... I click on UMD_DATA.BIN, and it says "There is no program in your system associated to open this type of file"

Did I do something wrong?

[CidIII]

You shouldn't have to click on UMD_DATA.BIN.

Here's a SS, showing what you "should" be seeing...

[SentinalBlade]

Lol, no cottage, sometimes UMDGen tries to be gay and open a file without you double clicking it

just close the dialog box and continue your work :3

[Cottage Cheese]

*Lol "Yay!"*

Okay, lemme run through what I'm doing:

1. Open up UMDGen v4.00
2. Go to Tools
3. Hit Extract ISO Contents...
4. My Computer/Removable Disk (K:)/ISO
There's nothing in ISO besides VIDEO, and when I try to open ISO, nothing happens. I fooled around with UMDGen for a minute and hit the UMD Properties tab. Closer to the bottom of the screen, I see a box, General Information. In it, there's a button labeled "Generate". I hit it, and that's where I'm getting UMD_DATA.BIN in the explorer tab.

[CidIII]

Well there's your problem...
Intro to .ISO Ripping off your PSP 101:

Turn on PSP, make sure game is in.

Hold select for 30 seconds and release while in Main Menu of the PSP (not the game).

M33 should pop up, Go down to USB Device and change it to UMD Disc.

Go to Exit after this.

Then connect PSP to computer through USB.

Go to my Computer open the USB Drive (H: drive is mine, whatever yours is do that one)

You should see a .ISO file in the Drive, copy and paste this to your desktop, and then open it with UMD Gen don't go to Tools or whatever your doing just file Open.

*Sigh* I know, I'm hopeless. *Shakes head*

[CidIII]

Bump because I updated post.

And, actually this is probably good. The reason why you couldn't figure out how to get fftpack.bin was because the .ISO was ripped wrong.

[Cottage Cheese]

Okay, I've got fftpack.bin up, it doesn't look EXACTLY the same as the SS you posted, but its here. Do I hit Extract to Specified Folder?

[CidIII]

Yep, right click and 'Extract Selected...'

What do you mean it doesn't look the same?

[Cottage Cheese]

Well, you know when you first open up UMDGen? It looks like that. Underneath the box with all the animations (Extract To, Find, etc..), there's another box titled Name. In it there are two folders, one labeled "..." and the other "movie". Underneath the latter is where my fftpack.bin is located. Is this wrong?

[CidIII]

*shrugs*

If it works...

[Cottage Cheese]

Okay, two questions. One, can I replace any sprites with the ones I want to add in, and how will that affect my saved game (how will I get the new characters, etc.), and Two, can I only add in one sprite at a time, or can I do more than one?

[Llednar]

Can I make a Tutorial for dummies (like myself) on how to use Lioneditor?
I have thought it down to a few simple steps.
