.DLV File / RIFF~~~~CDXA File and how to extract/convert

Post by sadikyo »

Hello!

I made a post in the archive forum about this (not the best place), but essentially, in the PS1 Game "Eggs of Steel" there is a .DLV file that was quite difficult to actually copy off the disc.

I was able to finally copy the file, and the header begins as follows:

52 49 46 46 14 F8 D0 2B 43 44 58 41 [RIFF°╨+CDXA]

I have been able to extract some audio streams from the file, but I believe the file has video and is similar to a VCD type format. I've attached a very small sample of the file in case it helps. I can share more if that is helpful as well.

Does anyone know how to view the contents or extract videos from this type of file?

Thanks for any help!

Since you mentioned RIFF CDXA, have you already tried to scan the game images (.bin) using jpsxdec?

Ah no I haven't - I will try that and update results!

EDIT:

Ok, so that pulled the same audio streams I was able to pull before, which I believe only account for about 1/3 or so of the data in the main file.

I really think there is video or other significant data in the file, but I'm really having trouble with it. If there is anything else I can provide to help, I am glad to do so.

Also - I was not aware of that program - it pulled the same audio I pulled before, but I love the interface - so thank you!
