Speaking of the 360 downloadable content, I took a look at the files last night and I worked out the following things: 1) Overall, the byte order is big endian. 2) The pak files are very similar to the PS2 version, with the exception that the filename is not stored in the header at all, and each hea...

The unpak.pl script was written for the PS2 files and won't work with the Xbox 360 files ... which also have the extension .xen, so presumably they are the same as the PC ones. Interesting. From what I've been able to gather (GameZelda mentioned it earlier) the .xen files are simply compressed, but ...

I have downloaded all of them, and I have also extracted the VR and FF packs from the Xbox 360 HDD, but I haven't had a chance to look at them. I've been pretty busy with other things lately. Is anyone else looking at this stuff?

I have written a perl HED/WAD extractor, you can download it here:

Funnily enough I was going to take a look at the 360 stuff tonight. Can't promise anything though...

Thanks for the extensive information! That was a lot of stuff to digest! :) So should we expect new midi versions? I'm waiting for a final release of the GH3 midis so I can put my whole FoF folder on a DVD :D I won't personally be providing midis for FoF due to legal concerns. I'm only interested i...

I'm in the process of writing up some detailed specs on what we know about the mid.qb format, and I plan to post it on ScoreHero once I'm done. That will probably take me a few days to collate all the information and explore a few things. Expect something by the end of the week. Debr went through so...

I've no idea how you would run it on Windows (assuming you're on Windows). Most Linux and all Mac OS X installations have python installed.

http://www.python.org/ would be a place to start.

I'm thinking of moving this thread back to ScoreHero as it's starting to delve into the innards of the qb files and doesn't directly relate to any FoF requirements, and any discussions about custom GH3 songs should probably be on ScoreHero anyway. A call to FoF people: what other info do you need? I...

I haven't got to HO/POs yet, (it's next on my list after extracting the song section names) but Debr mentioned an extra bit used on the note field that is likely to be it.

I think that I've found a new type of track (I don't remember any reference to it before). First, check my MIDI-QB inspection tool (finds all tracks by magic number and detects type, for now suports "Nothing", "SingleList" and "MultiList", and unknown types. http://www.savefile.com/files/1172001 Af...

My guess is that your newly created HED/WAD files aren't working because these .dbg files need to be updated with new checksums. Mmm, what do you mean? I'm building the HED/WAD again with the same files, so there shouldn't be any checksum change. I've also tried to match those checksums with the CR...

Ok, my unpak perl script is finished:

http://www.moto-coda.org/gh/unpak

Run it without options to see the usage. It will handle regular pak files and the split pak/pab file archives. Let me know if you spot any bugs.

I'm doing final testing of the script now. One thing of interest is that there is a pak file called dbg.pak.ps2. Inside this is a bunch of files with the following sort of data: 00000000  5b 4c 69 6e 65 4e 75 6d  62 65 72 73 5d 0d 0a 44  |[LineNumbers]..D| 00000010  75 ...

Mmm, I have a PHP script, here it is if it helps you (you will need to install Apache+PHP (or you can use WAMP). <?php // Zlib decompress, for GH3...! if (empty($_GET["file"])) { if ($handle = opendir('compress/')) { echo '<b...
