PSP Notes

• PSP runs .lvl files 'munged' for PS2
• Munging Sides (from Anthony)
  • Necessary to use option -maxbones 8
• Adding eras on PSP, need to use lower case; upper case letters crash on loading
• It appears that the game uses the altrac3plus sound format (Sony/MiniDisc audio format).
  • soundflmunge does not appear to support this format.
  • The PSP Sounds look to have been constructed following exactly the same structure as the PS2 Sounds (the PS2 build contains more sound files than Xbox and PC).
  • There is a tool floating around the internet called 'at3tool' that can convert 16-bit PCM .wav files to altrac3 (.at3) format
    • at3tool.exe -e file_name.wav file_name.at3
  • The .at3 files are playable in the VLC media Player.

The Game ships with the following world lvls (several are not used). This among other evidence (no music in levels, unnecessary code in mission scripts) suggests that the PSP game technically 'operated' but was never really finished, but rather released due to schedule pressure.
