I don't know how you faggots can not like ham hands.

Doesn't the thought of their massive sweaty salt-like lubricated sausage fingers stroking your penis arouse you? Their Kiełbasa-like thumb gripping and stroking your head? The warmth of their hands engulfing your cock not unlike you were fucking a chunk of smoked ham? The way their fingers seem to stick to you like honied salami?

Tool to rip the data off the ISO: http://azuco.sumomo.ne.jp/archive/ps2higurashi_r070720_.zip
Put it all together into named files using this: http://harmonicharmo.nobody.jp/matsuri/matsuri2higurasi_20080223.zip

Instructions on how to conver it can be found here in Japanese: http://harmonicharmo.nobody.jp/matsuri/

The filenames are not the same as the originals but you can figure out roughly what each file is. For example, "re_ta_bi_b1" (from the Mangagamer release) expands to the filename "rena\taisoufuku\re_bikkurib1.bmp" (from the NScripter version).

Seems this thread is better for this, so I'll just copypasta my message from the other thread.

"I'm the anon trying to get rid of the UI. Here's what I've done so far (not much). This info may be useful for the font/sprite replacing efforts too

- Using ExtractData, I can get the image files to extract fine, as BMPs, from sysgrp.arc
- Repacking those files to with AnimED using Buriko General Interpreter file type results in the game not working.
- Seems like the problem is the game cannot find the files after repackaging, because they are BMPs now, while they were stored without format(?) before.
- ExtractData can't extract without format, as far as I can tell.
- AnimeED can extract without format, and even generate a file list with sizes and offsets, which seems like crucial for the game recognizing sysgrp.arc as legit.
- But extracting with AnimeED results in non format (encrypted?) files that I can't edit.
- Was there a needle?

I'll keep trying. I have a plasma, so I don't want to have permanent VN controls burned into my display..."

Any ideas? seems like those bgitools may work better than what I have. The general process should be "extract-> edit -> repack", but maybe before repacking I need to have the image files in certain format? seems like those buttons allow for alpha channel, so I should be able to make them completely transparent... but how?

>> No.3914370

Create a transparent PNG file then use AlphaConv included in the BGI tools pack to create the properly formatted 32bit BMP. Rename the new BMP to the same name as the image that you wish to replace and it should be gone.

But the new music is already from Kai, right? so in the end, we are losing tracks and getting less variation, not getting a replacement.

So, does someone know what tracks were changed?

Thanks.
data05000.arc contains the oggs. I have played Sonozaki Futagotachi's first episode, so I'll just jump around until I know the place where I can listen to each track, and then I'll check those places in the mangagamer edition to see what they were replaced with.
Problem is, this assumes they didn't replace 1st episode music with music that's on the same arc, 4th episode for example (so you'd be replacing 4th episode real music with music from the 1st). It'd be helpful if someone had a solid track list already (we may try asking mangagamer)

Forgot to mention, sprites are in data02000.arc.
The process should be simple, in theory.

1. Exctract the PS2 sprites.
2. Extract R07 sprites.
3. Look at each sprite, and note name equivalences
4. Use alpha.exe to convert PS2 sprites to proper format (may need to make them into PNGs first)
5. Rename then using your notes from step 3
6. Place your newly created files (without extension) in the higurashi folder.

I don't want the PS2 sprites, so someone else will have to do it if they want them.

You see, there's an Image Tool tabsheet in the AnimED, where you can open "non-format" BGI images and save them as 32-bit BMPs or PNGs.

The BGI engine itself gladly accept 32-bit BMPs instead of it's proprietary images. Just remove the extension when you're going to save your file.

Hey, I just noticed something VERY important!!
They replaced VARIOUS tracks with the SAME track! at least in the very beggining, there should be a different track for when you're in your home (something-Cafe-), and when you meet Rena for the first time (Rena's theme). Instead, Mangagamer used the same track for the two. And listening to the extracted audio, it's not the only occurence!! the same song is repeated as least 3 times when it should be different themes.
