Today’s format has been on my list since the early days of my journey in this reverse engineering of image file formats started about a year ago. My interest in it was re-kindled by a recent comment by “RedMike” to my PIC File Format summary. The format in question is the .PAN File format from […]| Ouch my eye!
It’s been a while since I last posted, so I thought I’d give a quick update of where things stand. (TLDR: I’m still here, progress is slow, but it is happening.) My main focus the past few months has been preparing my house to put on the market, which has occupied a lot of my […]| Ouch my eye!
Stardate -298165.9: As is often the case, new adventures in reverse engineering are inspired by random comments that I stumble across. I was enjoying a lazy Sunday when I stumbled across this in one of the groups I participate in. The “request” (it wasn’t directed at me specifically) comes as a result of the release […]| Ouch my eye!
In my last post we took on the .RES Container File format from Nova Logic. In that post I mentioned that there was a 2nd variant of the format that we see with “F-22 Lightning II” (1996) from Nova Logic. While working on the original format we found with “Comanche 3”, I took a quick […]| Ouch my eye!
It all started so innocently. I’ve been away from the scene for a while so I was catching up on some chat history on one of the modding/gaming servers on Discord that I’m on and I stumbled across the following. Well we can’t have that now, can we? I’ll take that as a sign for […]| Ouch my eye!
It’s been a while since my last post, and will probably be a little longer before I get back into any regular schedule, but I’m still here. My last general post I mentioned that I had been dealing with a serious illness in my family. Sadly that culminated in spending pretty much the entirety of […]| Ouch my eye!
As I’ve been slowly working on getting the PIC file format code into a releasable state, another title popped up. Well not so much another title, but a rare, and nearly forgotten, version of a title. In this case it’s a 16 colour EGA specific release, while the version we’ve previously looked at was targeted […]| Ouch my eye!
Sorry for the silence everyone. It’s been a tough ride the past while. I have been dealing with a serious illness with a member of my family, and have spent most of my time and energy helping…| Ouch my eye!
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!
