- Damn, read up somewhere and apparently MGS4 uses the same stupid .dat archives that they used in MGS3 - the dat's weren't the problem but what's inside was; MGS3 used some sort of proprietary audio codec, and I just hope that MGS4 doesn't...
Also, the Sony games seem to use some sort of gigantic archive for game data - Uncharted 2 and Resistance FOM both contain archives that exceed 4 GB. And we thought they'd go easy on us - I guess they're too paranoid to put out isolated game files even with the encryption.

- HOLY CRAP JESUS ON A STICK that was fast! Manako you crazy bastard. I was NOT expecting such a short turn around on the first game.
@Orange: not all games are decrypted properly. Some games reported to not be working (such as COD4) still have encrypted files after copying - this may or may not be why it doesn't work.
@pietastesgood: Usually it's not so much about keeping the files hidden, it is more about drive seek speed - if the files are separated the drive has to skip back and forth from the TOC to the file, for every file it reads. If everything is in one file the seeking is at least halved.
Also, any of the games that have files >4GB in size probably can't be ripped, since I don't think anyone has access to files on the PS partition and FAT32 of course doesn't support them. Would have been nice if the backup manager at least truncated the large files, but oh well early days yet.
Man oh man. I can't wait for Katamari Forever and Folklore. But they are so niche... maybe I should buy a stick and dump it myself :/

- I seriously want a full auto 2 dump its not a big game but the score is a blast!!

- I read the credits on Katamari Forever and saw licensing from Polycom for Siren14.

- OK. So is that an indifferent or bad thing for me :) According to wiki, FreeSWITCH (open source) has Siren 14 support... :)
A little surprising actually, I figured they'd have used a .npsf-similar thing again.

- That's what's used in Muscle March and Tales of Graces. And vgmstream supports it (probably).

- Manako has started work on a LittleBigPlanet rip for those interested. It's a WIP but it's available on the tracker.

- From what I recall, it's a WIP because it's a format manokoAT isn't entirely familiar with. I think he "passed it off" to someone else. Thus, although the WIP is on the tracker, I don't know if it would be very useful to anyone yet. Maybe VGMstream just needs to be updated to support it, or maybe it requires a re-rip (and thus downloading it might be a waste of bandwidth). Either way, yes, the WIP is available. I just figured a small explanation/word-of-warning might useful to some people. Mouser X over and out.

- Hmm. So I'm guessing you need a Jailbreak PS3 in order to dump the games? I would dump some if its as easy as buying that USB thingy.

- @mouserx do you know what the format looks like?
can samples be posted?
