PS2 Elf Packer - RNC/Propack Packing Code

Raizor · Post by **Raizor** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 10:37 pm

I've been working on a standalone elf packer that doesn't require any extra compilation. Just feed it an elf and it injects the packed data into a decompression stub without needing GCC etc. The packer will support various compression formats (allowing the user to choose size over decompression speed or vice versa).

Anyway, the point of the post. I've been trying to track down some C (or C++) source code for encoding using RNC (level 1 mainly, but level 2 would be a boon). I've managed to get pack/unpack code from http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/dk/utils.html but it seems very buggy and falls over on large files. Does anyone else have or know where I can find an alternative please? I'd like to avoid relying on the freely available propack.exe because it will cause compatability problems with linux...

Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Raizor

ps. If anyone one has any nice pack/unpack code they'd like to see included, let me know and I'll make sure the app supports it ;)

You can use the Sjeep SjCRUNCH PS2 ELF Packer (avaiable at ps2dev.org).

Actually i already implemented something similar, using sjeep libraries, for people making PAL/NTSC selectors without any knowledge of programation - they are implemented in the JayteeMaster PS2 utils for video mode conversion, ps2ntsc2pal_yfix and ps2pal2ntsc_yfix.
