- PSX-View V0.2
-
- By Alberto Manuel Ordóñez
-
- 1. Introduction:
-
- This program can show and optionally save in IFF format some PlayStation
- pics on your amiga.
-
- 2. Requeriments:
-
- Any Amiga with AGA graphics, OS 2.0+, asl.library, some chip memory, a
- CD-ROM drive capable of read PlayStation disks and at least one of these
- disks.
-
- 3. Installation:
-
- Drag the icon to any place in your hard disk.
-
- 4. Usage:
-
- Insert a PlayStation disk in the CD-ROM, double-click on the PSX-View icon
- and an ASL requester will appear, select the volume in CD0: then select a
- file to view, if you want to save it in IFF format, press the "S" key, then
- another ASL requester will appear asking you the name of the file to create.
-
- The length of the pic files must be any of this 153600, 163840, 307200,
- 327680 or 524288 bytes or a bit more, this is because the pics are archived
- in RAW format and sometimes they have a little header and frequently they
- have the ".tim" extension.
-
- If you select a binary data file, the program will display the data and you
- can see a trashed screen.
-
- The pics are TRUE color but I don't know how to convert to HAM8, so the
- pics are displayed in 256 colors. To improve image quality you can activate
- the dithering option, this can be activated adding the DITHER tooltype to
- the PSX-View icon.
-
- If you have a PlayStation you must have a CD called "Demo 1" a demonstration
- CD that is included with the PlayStation, in the European version of that CD
- you can find the next pics:
-
- CD0:Basket/Title.tim (Total NBA demo title screen)
- CD0:Dd/Logo.tim (What is this?)
- Warning.tim (The copyright pic.)
- CD0:Dddemo/Loading1. (Loading screen of Destruction Derby demo)
- CD0:Dddemo/Screens_/40player. (Some Destruction Derby demo pics)
- Availnow.
- Destderb.
- Frstscrn.
- Hidden.
- Instruct.
- Link.
- Nightdri.
- Timetria.
- Trckrace.
- CD0:Tosin/Hajime/Title.pim (Menu pic of Battle Arena Toshinden demo)
- CD0:W/T/Hiscore.tim (Highscores background pic of Wipeout demo)
- Loading.tim (Loading screen of Wipeout demo)
- NegPad.tim (NegCon controls screen of Wipeout demo)
- NormPad.tim (Normal controls screen of Wipeout demo)
- Palback.tim (Menu background pic of Wipeout demo)
- Palhigh.tim (Highscores background again a bit larger)
- Palload.tim (Loading screen again a bit larger)
- Paltitle.tim (Title screen of Wipeout demo)
- Solaar.tim (Win screen of Wipeout demo)
- Wipeout.tim (Menu background pic again a bit shorter)
- Wiptitle.tim (Title screen again a bit shorter & diferent)
-
- 26 pics is not too bad for one CD...
-
- Some PSX games have standard gfx files, I know two:
- EXTREME PINBALL the tables are in standard .PCX format.
- KRAZY IVAN there is some .LBM standard pics overthere.
