crc_scan.bms confusion thread

Post by AnonBaiter »

So, I have this thing right over here:

Code: Select all

. 0000d060 get     NAME_CRC   0x29234bcf 4
And I have this string I found(and assembled, apparently) right over here:

Code: Select all

Data/Frontend/FrontEnd.mus
Frontend.mus
It has two possible filenames for that file; I had to choose one of those filenames to see which one of them matches with this NAME_CRC field by using the crc_scan.bms script.
As you can see on the attachment, not one of them matches this NAME_CRC field I was going for. What now?

Names hashes usually are applied on strings that are modified before the hashing.
For example toupper (HELLO) or tolower (hello) and slash->backslash/viceversa and so on.
So run the script on toupper/slash, toupper/backslash, tolower/slash, tolower/backslash and, if you are lucky, you should get the correct crc.
If I have to bet I would go for the toupper/slash variant.
