Introduction:
-------------

I mainly wrote Tools for LBA Table extraction and patching but since again these tools are written in Perl many people would have problems like with my Onimusha LBATools. So here is the tutorial with a PPF Patch for LBA/DVD Checks !

Step 0) Copying the DVD
-----------------------

NOTE: You should copy the DVD to c:\TARGET or you will have to edit the IML Files in the RIPPACK !!

Step 1) Downsizing
------------------

a) Delete following PSS Files from the UI directory:
- ATTRACT.PSS
- CREDITS.PSS
b) Replace both these PSS Files with "smallempty.pss" from the ZIP-file above.. Your UI directory should look the same as before but should be a bit smaller.

Step 2) Patching the SCES
-------------------------

a) Start PPF-o-Matic from ATVPalPPFRipPack.zip
b) Click on the Disc at PPF-File and choose "ATVPAL-LBADVD.ppf" from the RiPPACK
c) Click on the Disc at BIN-File and choose your SCES502.93
d) Click "Apply"
e) You SCES is now patched

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE PPF:
----------------------------------

a) The DVD Check is located at 0xe4b90
b) The LBA Table starts @ 01D2FD0
c) There are 967 LBA Table Rows to be patched (at least that's the line-count my TABLE.TXT shows which I generated with LBATOOL [ATV])
d) Every row is 40 Bytes long

aaaa 0000 bbbb 0000 cccc 0000 dddd 0000 eeee 0000

aaaa = Pointer
bbbb = LBA Start of File
cccc = LBA End of File
dddd = LBA Size of File
eeee = Byte Site of File

Again all values are word and byte swapped !

Step 3) Build the ISO File
--------------------------

a) Enter a MS-DOS Command-prompt and go to the directory where you have the IML Files from the RiPPack

NOTE: In case you didn't copy the DVD to C:\TARGET, now it's the time to change the IML to reflect your directory.

b) Enter "IML2ISO ATVPAL.IML ATVPAL.ISO"

You should end up with a nice ISO File fitting on a 650 MB CDR !

Step 4) Burning the ISO File
-----------------------------

a) Fire up CDRWin and Choose the Toolbox
b) Choose "Record an ISO9660 image file"
c) At "Image Filename" click on three dots and browse to your built ISOFile
d) Set "Disctype" to CDROM-XA and "TrackMode" to MODE2
e) Set Option "Finalize/Close Session|" and "Write Postgap"
f) Now Burn

You should end up with a RiP of your PAL ATV Offroad !!
