glide64_cache_extract

glide64_cache_extract is a debugging tool used to extract the content of a Glide64 texture cache and to show extra information about the content.

USAGE

The uncompressed texture cache has to be given to glide64_cache_extract using stdin. The compressed files are usually named *_HIRESTEXTURES.dat and *_MEMORYCACHE.dat. The result is a v7 tarball written to stdout.

The input and output files can also be specified using --input and --output. The input will not be extracted (can be done using gunzip).

Extra information about the content and errors are printed on stdout.:

$ zcat MUPEN64PLUS.dat | glide64_cache_extract -vv --bitmapv5 \
  --prefix MUPEN64PLUS | tar x
$ for i in *.bmp; do convert -strip -define png:format=png32 \
  -define png:compression-level=9  "${i}" "${i%.bmp}.png"; done
$ rm *.bmp

The output files don't follow the Rice hires texture naming scheme correctly. But they should be compatible with Glide64.

More information about the parameters can be requested using:

$ glide64_cache_extract --help
