NOW WITH FILE ENCRYPTION AND MORE!
Allows for easy management and conversion of GRP files. This tool can turn one or more GRPs into DATs or DAT part files.
Can store a PRG inside of an existing GRP(by distorting some of the pixels) and encrypt it with a key. It can also convert it back.
NOTE: FILES ENCRYPTED IN v1.1 CAN ONLY BE RETREIVED WITH THAT VERSION (old key: 2E3X5KQE)
Dat Part Files allow for partially loading images while doing other tasks to cushion out the delay of loading the file. This feature will be supported in future versions of eZSB for MODE7 rendering and this tool (or an equivalent) will be required for the smoothest loading.
You can even upload several sequential(EX_0,EX_1,EX_2) GRPs at once or ones with coordinates(EX-1_1,EX_0_0,EX_0_1).
You can also run a Render Test which is an example of how the render method I came up with works and returns speed results for tested files.
Instructions:
Answer the on screen prompts correctly as they ask you to.
For the highest quality conversions, use part files evenly divisible by both the X and the Y values of the image. (For example, 512x90, 512/4 is 128 but 90/4 is 22.5 so it doesn't work properly. However 512/2 is 256 and 90/2 is 45 so that is a valid part size)
Only properly converted files may be used to quick render and those with non-perfect sizes are prone to loosing pixel data (mainly in the bottom right of the GRP), however, you can still do this if you desire.
