Press any key to continue...


Famous last words.

This video showcases what it takes to insert a custom video clip into a retail PlayStation 2 game. I'm demonstrating with Flipnic, because I know a thing or two about this game.

Tools used:
DaVinci Resolve - For creating the source video
MFAudio - For converting WAV to Sony ADPCM
ffmpeg - Video encoder
ps2str - For converting M2V to IPU
Ps2IsoTools - Included with FFT, allows you to repack PS2 ISO files
ImHex - Hex editor and data analysis tool
Audacity - For converting source audio to 16-bit PCM
PCSX2 - PlayStation 2 emulator

Custom tools:
FlipnicBinExtractor - STR.BIN repacking
FlipnicFileTools - For working with game-specific data
FlipnicPatterns - Custom patterns for ImHex
