Chrono Cross, released late in the PlayStation's life, was subject to clever data obfuscation by Square. Obfuscation in this sense—the art of hiding data—means at the simplest level that, if you put Chrono Cross in your hard drive, you can't browse directories and view individual assets, like character models and textures. Instead, the game disc is compiled as a unified whole with an index file at the beginning which the PlayStation / Chrono Cross read to find files and operate.

In 2002, Terminus Traduction (specifically, Yazoo, Nemesis, and Manz) successfully audited Chrono Cross and wrote a set of utilities for extracting its data. The first tools (Chrono Cross Hacking Tools) were authored by Yazoo and dump the entire game's assets. The second set of tools (Chrono Cross Translation Tools) are heavily-modified versions of Yazoo's tools primarily coded by Nemesis and his team. They are specifically geared to dump assets (such as text, scripts, images with text, and video captions) needed for translation.

Chrono Cross Hacking Tools

How do I rip proper game images from the Chrono Cross discs?

Game image: A digital copy of your game CD. A game image may be said to exist in one of two formats once it's on your hard drive: 2048 byte-per-sector format or 2352 byte-per-sector format.

Some hacking utilities are hard-coded to recognize only game images with 2352 byte sectors; others work best with 2048 byte sectors. For example, TIMViewer and PSicture interpret data correctly only for 2048 byte-per-sector images, whereas the powerful tools created by Yazoo and Nemesis require 2352 byte sectors. What's the novice hacker to do?

Ripping game images is easy, and luckily with utilities such as IsoBuster you can rip both formats. Here are the IsoBuster commands you need to know: 

2048 byte-per-sector format: File -> CD -> Extract CD <Content> -> Extract User Data
2352 byte-per-sector format: File -> CD -> Extract CD <Image> -> RAW

That should put you on good footing to use all the various tools available for hacking Chrono Cross. Remember, you're going to need lots of space on your hard drive for the game images: a 2048 byte-per-sector image for Disc 1 of Chrono Cross weighs in at 611MB (641,437,696 bytes), while a 2352 byte-per-sector image is 702MB (736,651,104 bytes) in size!

Yazoo's Tools Output Folders

Yazoo's Chrono Cross hacking tools creates the following folders, each containing several .OUT files of data. NOTE: Yazoo's tools require a 2352 byte-per-sector (736,651,104 byte) .bin file as input.

  • BF = 2417-2513 BattleFields
  • BS = 2543-3054 Battlescript
  • CD = 75-125 Character Descriptions

  • MISC = 2514-2542 Misc
  • MISC = 3054-3707 Misc
  • MISC = 3760-5597 Misc
  • OAM = 322-331 OverWorld Alternate Models

Data Map

This section currently lists where all the OUT directories listed above are located on Disc 1. The offsets are applicable to the physical game CD as well as to any ripped iso that is exactly 641,437,696 bytes long.

As time goes on the offsets will grow more and more specific, perhaps reaching the file-by-file level of detail in the distant future.

Debug Mode

With the room modifier code 8007E6E8 000E enabled, ZeaLitY restored a savestate in ePSXe immediately following the defeat of the Time Devourer on a new game plus in disc one. The game shifted to the Hydra Marshes, but strangely, this savestate (and only this savestate) booted the location with a debug mode menu active. Thanks to this completely accidental discovery, the game's debug mode is being mapped. Here is the Time Devourer battle savestate (to be used with that room modifier code):

Menu Layout

Several of these break the four-line height of text boxes, and the options as a result go well below the textbox. However, the decisions scroll down to the end of the string. So, if something has 8 choices (like the main menu), the first option will highlight the name of the fifth (since only 5-8 will be displayed). To get to the actual fifth and beyond, you have to go below the textbox to the invisible options.

For the demo scenes, a map parameter of 0 or 1 starts one at one of two exits with static characters. Moving takes one to the title screen. A parameter of 2 plays the demo scenes. A parameter of more than that acts like 0 or 1 except that no characters are loaded.

Appendix

Explanation of Obfuscation

Halkun of QHIMM.com explains the process of compressing files by narrating Square's probable actions for creating Final Fantasy VII.

  1. All uncompressed data was preloaded in a particular data structure (like how it was originally).
  2. Compiling - The executables are built and the compiled structure's length is recorded. These can be dynamic; my theory is that there's no sector data here.
  3. PSX data creation - The ANI, TIM, RSD, HRC, and all the other PSX data is created from source assets.
  4. Compression - Pass 1 - GZIP - All the files that are not sector critical are GZipped. Compressed and uncompressed lengths are recorded.
  5. Compression - Pass 2 - LZS - All the files that are going to be sector critical are compressed in LZS and their lengths recorded.
  6. Concentration - Headers are made for all the files that need to be stuck together. They are then done so. Sector locations are kept blank.
  7. File finalization - All files are manifested in their final form, minus sector information.
  8. Cool preburn - A disk image is created on a blank hard drive. Blank indexes are written first. Then, when a file is copied to this image, sector information is written in the files that need it, and recorded in the master index. Each file gets this treatment.
  9. Burn - The disk is mastered.

The most location-important files accumulate at the beginning of the data, and the index is usually first (or perhaps last on a disc).
