    you mean to extract the gdi bins to a data files?? if yes here it is http://shenmuesubs.sourceforge.net/download/addons/Selfboot_DATA_Pack_v1.4_by_FamilyGuy.rar
    this will extract the gdi to the data folder. just place all the gdi files to the root of this folder, and run gdi to data.bat. if you want to rebuild your custom gdi download the gdi builder from here http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/gdibuilder-tool-for-building-gdi-data-tracks.54765/
    run it and the gdi builder will guide you how to rebuid it. if you have any questions just ask i will be here.

    Family guy has done very good tools. But perhaps, there is something to get much better.
    the 1.4 version pack gather wonderful programs. Are you looking for the subtitles problem carlos ?

    Thanks truemaster for share the spanish version. I'm so happy to see there are spanish people who continue to appreciate the dreamcast.

    I would like to thank for the information you got here.
    I've done some progress on the issue of game texts.

    But I would like to ask one more question.

    When they have done editing the game, as altered that sentence: This game contains scenes of explicit violence and gore.

    Really those files you told me contained enough texts in sysmes.ald files, but this sentence does not match.

    If you can help me again I thank you.

    Maybe the text is embeded directly in the image.

    like @fafadou said its embeded. the file name is adv.afs. for example when i made francais and espanol versions i use the adv.afs from each version. example for francais the adv.afs is from france version. for spanish is from spanish version.

    @carlos andre : in complement of truemaster, gdi2data is the tool that truemaster has letf for extract the files from the .gdi.

    @truemaster1 : I suppose 1024*512 is the size of the picture ans 8bpp is maybe the downsample rate (8 times ?) and bpp the format; Except of the size I'am really not sure.

    Please have a look to the readme.txt you find in selfbootdata file. It's a familyguy release, everything is explain. truemaster join it with this project in the first page.

    @truemaster : in the version officialy release with the 1st_read.bin japanese for resident evil complete, the status menu when you push X during the game is in english or japanese ? Same question for the map menu.

    I want to know if the kandji text are only in the documents and subtitles.

    edit:
    I have the answer in your readme.txt, thanks for have notice everything.

    when you put all game files in the selfboot folder click gdi to data.bat this will extract all game files in the data folder.

    I would like to acknowledge the help, because they had a lot of patience to help me, what a pity you are not Brazilian.
    I will seek to translate this information you have given me.
    no doubt I'll be back here to ask. Thanks

    Thank you.

    I managed to selfbootdata program to open the files containing within ADV.AFS.
    But I visualized 31 files without extension.
    I found that most are voices of the game.
    More I found some files containing some texts.
    And some I could not open.
    The files come from this File_1 way file_2 ... and goes to the file_31
    Can you tell me what exactly is the images.
    And most importantly after extracting as I can visualize the image files, as well as the yzb37859365 site member posted in an answer just above, with the image of what I'm looking for exactly that image he posted.
    I've read the first posts your back there, I managed to extract the files, but i can not visualize to edit it.
    Do you have any other program I need to use?
    Do I have to put the File_1 file or other file to visualize power.
    When I put the extension * * .adx most worked.
    Less 6 files that do not know what it is.
    If you can help me, I thank you.

    Thank you.
