Dreamcast Redump Extracted Data v1 (slim)

This archive contains file listings, main binaries, and strings found in the main binaries from the REDUMP Dreamcast collection. 1310 releases were parsed, with 162 releases skipped due to missing .gdi file.

Warning

This archive is intended for research and educational purposes only and does not include actual game images.

Contents

For each release, the archive includes:

1. A txt file listing the disc contents (files.txt).
2. The IP.BIN file.
3. The main game binary (usually 1ST_READ.BIN), extracted from the disc. For WinCE games, .EXE and .DLL files in the disc root were included as well.
4. Text files (*.strings.txt) containing the results of running Unix strings commands on the extracted binaries.

Note that the slim version only includes text files.

How to search

Users can perform regex searches on file lists and binary strings using the following Unix commands:

• To search in file lists:

  # Search for `*.ELF` files in disc
  $ find -name files.txt -exec grep -H -i -E '\.ELF$' {} \;

  Sample result:

  ./South Park Rally (USA)/files.txt:/CDIMAGE.ELF
  ./Dragons Blood (Europe) (En,Fr,De)/files.txt:/DIE2/DATA/RELEASE.ELF
  ./South Park Rally (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es)/files.txt:/CDIMAGE.ELF
  ./Atsumare! Guru Guru Onsen BB (Japan)/files.txt:/GAME/BFRONT.ELF
  (...)
  

• To search in strings extracted from binaries:

  # Search for `*.C` file names left in binaries
  find -name *.strings.txt -exec grep -H -i -E '\.C$' {} \;

  Sample result:

  ./Rayman 2 - The Great Escape (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It)/bins/1ST_READ.BIN.strings.txt:WinMain.c
  ./Rayman 2 - The Great Escape (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It)/bins/1ST_READ.BIN.strings.txt:src/DevVpt.c
  ./Rayman 2 - The Great Escape (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It)/bins/1ST_READ.BIN.strings.txt:src/Material.c
  ./Rayman 2 - The Great Escape (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It)/bins/1ST_READ.BIN.strings.txt:FileMng.c
  ./Rayman 2 - The Great Escape (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It)/bins/1ST_READ.BIN.strings.txt:Engine.c
