Time to stop procrastinating, and distracting myself with other formats, and time to put the MicroProse PIC file format to rest – at least with what we know about it so far. This post serves to act…| Ouch my eye!
Here we go again, on yet another side quest, I didn’t mean to, but couldn’t help myself. After finishing off with the CAT file variant we saw with M1 Tank Platoon from MicroProse in my …| Ouch my eye!
We have some unfinished business with regards to the MicroProse CAT file format, it’s time to start wrapping things up. The last time when we looked at the CAT file format we determined the f…| Ouch my eye!
Once again it appears we need to realign the naming of our PIC file formats. Luckily it’s only a small one this time around, and with it we also add a new title, or rather a port of a title t…| Ouch my eye!
As summer comes to an end, it’s time to get back in the seat and start reverse engineering again. While we still have some unfinished business with several formats, I thought I’d kick t…| Ouch my eye!
Well now that the RAID data has been recovered, and a new one is up and running, we can get back to some of the regular programming around these parts. Seems with my ADD and jumping around between …| Ouch my eye!
Posts related to my efforts in reverse engineering the MicroProse .PIC file format used to store the visual assets for many of their PC/DOS based games in the late 1980's and early 1990's| Ouch my eye!
We last left off having uncovered a dew more mysteries of the MicroProse PIC file format. We wrote a tool to examine PIC files to try and determine which version of the file they were, after some r…| Ouch my eye!
In my last post we left of having successfully decoded the PAK and EGA image formats used by Electronic Arts with 688 Attack Sub. In this post we will reverse the process allowing us to convert an …| Ouch my eye!
A little diversion while I wait for parts to arrive for my RAID data recovery and rebuild. Fingers crossed we don’t end up in a whole series of reverse engineering the Drobo BeyondRaid Filesy…| Ouch my eye!
Well looks like the break from the PIC file format didn’t last long. My last post we were wrapping up with the decoding of the MicroProse CAT file format when we stumbled upon what appears to…| Ouch my eye!
After practically melting my brain figuring out the LZSS compressor over the past several days, it’s time to take a break from the PIC file format for a post or two, and focus in on another f…| Ouch my eye!
Maybe not rewriting it, but correcting our recording of it. In my last post we analyzed the assets for a large number of titles from MicroProse that expanded our understanding of the sub variants a…| Ouch my eye!
