Reversing / Modding , Dreamcast & Naomi Games!
Had been working on a commission with MIPS processor last month.

Since the current state of Tobal 2 english translation were severly limited by text width and data pointer structure, thought about giving it a go.

Today I'm happy to share PyPVR, an unofficial, modern tool written in Python for encoding / decoding PowerVR2 images used by SEGA Dreamcast and SEGA Naomi.
(Windows version available!)

Hope it'll be useful to modders and devs alike!

Destruction Derby 2 (PSX) holds a number of leftovers demo files + SCELOGO, but as they use a special encoding never used in final game, they couldn't be properly decoded.

The answer were in DD2 Rolling Demo's function at 0x8001954, allowing me to restore their visualization in 320x256 glory.

Dear all,

Decided to set up my new home here! :)

As past commissions had me learn how to reverse LZSS compression, decided to give *Shiren Gaiden: Asuka Kenzan* for SEGA Dreamcast a go, helping out SharkSnack solving the compression issue which held the project back.
