Title: Noob question concerning unit.bin
Post by: Umbral on July 29, 2011, 09:02:26 am
Been an avid FFT player since it came out, long time lurker here as well, just never joined.  My problem is that I want to make use of some of the beautiful custom sprites that were made, in both battle and formation screens.  shishi covered the battle screen sprites no problem.  However, I am utterly lost when it comes to finding or accessing the unit.bin of my FFT iso.  So thats my question, how do I access it and what do I access it with?

Pretty sure you'll need CDMage. Let me dig up the tutorial for it.

If you have the PSP version, then there's some other stuff you have to do. Namely, rather than extracting unit.bin, you have to extract fftpack.bin, and then extract the files out of that using fftpatcher. Then you can modify unit.bin and wrldface.bin using fftevgrp, then you use fftpatcher to rebuild fftpack.bin, and throw that back in the iso.
