What tool I need to change resources ??
#393215 - 02/04/22 01:10 PM


What tool I need to change resources (graphics) from cps2 game to another cps2 game and from cps3 game to cps2 game ?

For example:

1. from SFA3 Sagat's Tiger/Hadouken (X-ISM and LK1 color) to SSF2 Sagat's Tiger/Hadouken

2. from SF3 Remy's Hadouken to SSF2 Guile's Sonic Doom

3. from SFA3 Ryu's Hadouken (X-ISM and LK1 color) to SSF2 Ryu's Hadouken color

4. from SFA3 Ken's Hadouken (X-ISM and LP1 color) to SSF2 Ken's Hadouken color

or can someone write me, ho can do it - I've got many ideas to make a better world for this game..

Copying the graphics would be the easy part. The hard part will be reverse engineering SSF2's sprite pattern format and editing the fireball animations (frames, tile IDs, attack boxes, etc) to suit the ones you've imported.

I can tell you right now that nobody is going to do this for you.

"Copying the graphics would be the easy part. - "

1. Ok. For now, Can You copy/extract the graphics from these games or what tool I need to do this?

2. There is a game on HBMame SF2CE MIX and some autor has maded those changes but it is on CPS1.

How to contact with autor of SF2CE MIX ? Is He a user of this forum?

No. At least, not without severe reverse-engineering effort on your part. It appears you seem to think it is a simple matter of: 'extract art, copy-paste to new game'. It is just not that simple.

There simply is no such tool. In order to achieve what you attempt to achieve, you would at a bare minimum need to reverse engineer both games, and the way they store the art. The mame debugger might assist in that effort. Reading the MAME source code of these emulated machines might help. You really are on your own here.

There really is no simple tool to do what you aim to achieve.

Well, there sort of is. It's a bit rough around the edges but it's functional. Lets you edit graphics from just about any bitplane format you can imagine using a profile system. You need Tiled and graphics software like Gimp or Photoshop to fully use it. I worked on it with a couple of associates.

In its current state it can only export your changes to a flat binary so you need a tool like RomMangler to split the files back again, but that's not such a big deal.

Download the files from the github repo and build them in Visual Studio
