Virtua Tennis DC - Custom shirts

[murdiaries]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to import and export shirt's custom textures for Virtua Tennis 1.

After some Hex replacing,I found out that this bin file stores the texture and color information of the uniform 01 (and probably also the racquet's).
After several tries with some DC PVR utils, without success, It seems to me that those textures are not plain PVR encoded.

I'd like to know if there is any utility to export those or some help in figuring it out how.

Thanks for helping!

I wish you good luck on finding out how to do it!

Thanks in advance and again: Good luck on your project.

-UPDATE-

I tried hex filling the bin with 00, and ended up changing all into a black uniform.
However it's just brute force and no array has been found.
However, I noticed also that if I insert only one FF inside a certain address, one white pixel appears onto both sleeves texture, like it's mirrored to the other side.

Doing so I understood that there is no information of size or compression on the bin file, just plain texture data, probably like this:




So, It could be possible some parts of texture is mirrored to save up space BUT some points. I'm investigating with the bowling suit, which has text on the texture, (thus, not mirrored)if there is a space for inserting logos.

Any help is REALLY appreciated, of course!

P.s. Is there any VRAM WATCHER prog for DC emus?

Quick update:

From 00000000 to 00000009

Is the collar image part, total 5 pixels repeated in pattern (still figuring it out, however..)ENJOY!

I am still unable to figure out this file type.

Is it PVR?
Anyone expert on DC scene could help me analyzing it?

Thanks
