Hello everyone ! Well, i ask you if someone has got one of the phantasy star online DLC on xbox, there are 2 -Central Dome Fire Swirl ( a quest ) -Hunter license file. It would be great to get at leas one of them. In fact if someone got the quest ( it seems to be hard to find. ) and can upload it, it would be possible to re-play this quest. And with some analysis of the file format, it would be possible to get the online quest pack work in the "download quest" category instead of erasing the solo quest. It would be possible to make quest created with QEdit work with the Xbox version too ! Thanks !
The Hunter License is just the paid online account, That other one tho along with a bunch more are out in the wild but they overwrite the quests from the base game as thats the only way to get them to show up at the moment. I can't link the forum its on due to warez but google for "[Mod] Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1 & 2 Quest Packs Collection [EP Hosted]". You need to make an account to download it tho.
I know about the quest pack collection for pso, i have it. Also, the quests in this pack are in RAW format, who obviously erase the main quest. The central dome fire swirl quest ( the original one ) was released by sega when pso comes to xbox, and it's the only dlc ever released for this game ( i think. ) I can't find it, but it doesn't overwrite the offline quest ( like what the CDFS quest from the quest pack does. ). With the CDFS dlc, it will be more simple to make any quest show up on the "Downloaded quest" section instead of just overwrite solo quest. QEdit for PSO can turn Pso quest (*.Bin/.dat) files into Downloaded quest (*.qst) files. This make the quest show on the download quest section. I've tried to open some quest turn into .qst files with a Hex editor. I see PSO/(Quest name. )....Quest*number*.bin and Quest*number*.dat ( the .qst file pack the 2 files in one format. ) I've tried also to open the V2 DC version of downloaded quest, and there seems to be identical to Gamecube / Xbox quest. Oddly, it's easy to find Dc and GC download quest, but no one seems to have it in xbox. In gamecube version, it's easy to make the quest work, as we know how the gamecube version recognize downloaded quest. But in the Xbox version, it's harder cause we doesn't know where the files must be, how the xbox recognize them ( I think there's linked to your xbox with the Xbox key like the save files. However, this isn't a big problem. ) So the only solution, if no one can upload CDFS , is to overwrite the solo quest :/
Good News : I tried to view how a Xbox dlc is made. I see some intergesting information with HxD : ALL dlc location is Tdata ( but everyone except me already know that.) I think PSO dlc structure is : -Contentimage.xbx ( image of the dlc show in the dashboard ) -Contentmeta.xbx ( Some information about the dlc : Name, location, and the files that read. ) -Quest File ( Who is encrypted with the xbox key. ) (Unknown format. ) I've tried to HexEdit the "Xbox live DLC Installer" ( By Harcroft ) of some games, to make them read, and re-sign the quest file of PSO Xbox. The files are actually recognizied by all the installer i've modified. However, the installer won't let me install them, something is wrong with the modification maybe ? I've tried without some installer, but as expected : It doesn't work ( maybe cause the aren't signed to the Xbox. )
Excellent news : The installer has worked, and the quest is recognized as a DLC by the game ( as it show as a content in the dashboard ), i think the encryption key is good too. BUT ! The quest isn't playable cause a file format error, i must find the correct quest file format that the xbox can read... EDIT : Find some .gci downloaded gamecube quest ! I find that they are actually linked with our character ( in GC ) and with our gamertag i think in XBOX. I tried to find the HEX code of my character in xbox and copy it instead of the gamecube character quest find in each quest, plus re-sign it with xbox key. I've found that the files are probably in a format like "PSO______XX" even for XBOX. I've test, but again, recognized as a dlc in the dashboard but won't work in game. I think without at least the ORIGINAL DLC ( Central dome fireswirl ) It would be impossible to make any quest show in the appropriate section instead of overwriting game's files.
