PSP homebrew – Rcomage v1.1.0

It’s been a while since we last heard from homebrew coder ZiNgA BuRgA, but now he’s back to release a new version of Rcomage, “a multi-purpose RCO creation/manipulation tool designed to allow RCOs to be modified in almost any way”, similar to RCO Editor but with a nifty GUI, PS3 support and then some. More after the jump.

It’s been a while since we last heard from homebrew coder ZiNgA BuRgA, but now he’s back to release a new version of Rcomage, “a multi-purpose RCO creation/manipulation tool designed to allow RCOs to be modified in almost any way”, similar to RCO Editor but with a nifty GUI, PS3 support and then some.

 

Developer’s note:

 

Rcomage is a general RCO manipulation/creation tool, which I hope, will replace RCO Editor (and potentially rcotool in the future). It’s a CLI (command-line interface) however I’ve provided a simple Windows GUI to save you from remembering commands (though you may need to trawl through an XML file).

It currently only has two main functions – “dump” (dumps contents of an RCO) and “compile” (compiles an RCO from a dump). For modifying an RCO, you would dump it, modify the dump, then compile it. A dump will consist of an XML file, which contains all the metadata of the RCO (basically, it’s structure) as well as various resources, such as images, sounds etc.

 

Changelog:

• Minor message output changes
• Fixed bug where rcomage may have tried to convert non-GIM images through gimconv when dumping
• Fixed minor issue if Image/Sound/Text tree contained no subentries
• Removed option to select compression for PNG/JPG/TIF/GIF resources in GUI as it’s mostly useless and may break the RCO if changed
• Add UMDFlag attribute to RcoFile tag
• Reduce the use of CDATA sections in the dumped text XML file
• Add basic VSMX decoder/encoder; add corresponding option when dumping/compiling in CLI and GUI, as well as vsmxdec and vsmxenc functions in the CLI
• Add experimental VSMX -> Javascript decompiler.  This will most likely crash, but if you’re lucky, it might go through and give half-readable output.  Only use this if you’re really interested; can only be accessed via the CLI using the –decompile option of vsmxdec
• Export some internal constants to .ini files
• Add support for UTF8 and UTF32 text in RCOs (found in PS3 RCOs); also fixed some potential character encoding issues
• Add support for Fontstyle entries (used in the sysconf PS3 RCO)
• Greatly improve handling PS3 RCO object structures (thanks goes to geohot for RCO samples)
• Add support for writing PS3 RCOs; also modify GimConv to add PS3 configuration option
