The Infection DVD

What is on the .hack//Infection (USA) disc, where, and which page describes each file.

Volume

ISO 9660 only - no Joliet, no Rock Ridge. 2048-byte sectors, 1,268,832 of them (2,598,567,936 bytes). System identifier PLAYSTATION, volume identifier empty. The size fits a single-layer DVD-5; the layer structure itself was not checked.

SYSTEM.CNF, 57 bytes:

BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SLUS_202.67;1
VER = 1.00
VMODE = NTSC

What each is

file	page
`SLUS_202.67`	the EE executable
`DATA/*.PRG`	overlays
`DATA/DATA.BIN`	the DATA.BIN archive
`DATA/SNDDATA.BIN`	sound banks
`DATA/ICON.BIN`	the memory card icons of all four volumes, three each, which `ccMcard::MakeDir` copies into a new save's directory (saves)
`MODULES/*.IRX`, `IOPRP243.IMG`	IOP modules (the IOP image); `SNDBASE.IRX` and `SEWORDS.IRX` carry symbols and DWARF (worklog 14), the rest are stripped
`PSS/*.PSS`	MPEG-2 program streams; `OPENING.PSS` audio is 48 kHz stereo in an `SShd` private stream
`STREAM/*.BIN`	gzip archives of CCSF cutscenes, audio in Pcm chunks
`VOICE/.BIN`, `VOICE_E/.BIN`	voice lines and streamed music
`OUTSIDE.BIN`	1,048,576 zero bytes

The IOP image

IOPRP243.IMG is the same 253,201 bytes on all four discs: a ROMDIR image (RESET, ROMDIR, EXTINFO, then the modules), built 20011205-113144 (its ROMDIR comment: conffile,ioprp243.img). Its modules, with their EXTINFO versions, all PsII... 2430:

module	version	comment	bytes
`LOADCORE`	0x0203	`Module_Manager`	9,717
`SIFCMD`	0x0207	`IOP_SIF_rpc_interface`	10,105
`SIFMAN`	0x0201	`IOP_SIF_manager`	6,009
`THREADMAN`	0x0202	`Multi_Thread_Manager`	36,945

ccCdInit (0x00159620) starts the disc:

sceSifInitRpc, sceCdInit, sceCdMmode(2).
sceSifRebootIop("cdrom0:\IOPRP243.IMG;1") until it succeeds, then sceSifSyncIop until done.
The RPC and CD again, sceFsReset.
The six files it reads by sector, looked up by name (sceCdSearchFile, each until found).
Six modules from cdrom0:\MODULES\ (ccLoadModule): sio2man, padman, mcman, mcserv, libsd, sdrdrv.

ccLoad_SndModules loads the other four: modhsyn, modmidi, sewords, sndbase. These ten are every module any volume names; the executable's libcdvd is PsIIlibcdvd 2420.

MODULES/CDVDFSV.IRX (16,901 bytes) and CDVDMAN.IRX (26,069) are version 1.04 (PsIIcdvdman 134, PsIIcdvdfsv 134). No executable names them, so the CD drivers the game runs are always the image's (2.26). Mutation carries the same two files; Outbreak and Quarantine leave them off.

How the game reads the disc

Every read starts from a name:

By sector. Only files looked up with sceCdSearchFile, then read with ccCdvd::Read2 / ReadSt at the LBA it returns plus an offset inside the file:
- ccCdInit's six: \DATA\SNDDATA.BIN, \DATA\DATA.BIN, and \STREAM\STRCMN, STRCMNE, STR1, STR1E. The archives' own tables give the offsets (the DATA.BIN archive, streams).
- ccMcard::MakeDir: \DATA\ICON.BIN.
- demo.prg's strFileOpen: \PSS\ and the movie's name, streamed with sceCdStStart.
By path. The overlays (cdrom0:\DATA\GCMN.PRG ...), the modules, and the voice files, which the IOP's sound modules open themselves (cdrom0:\VOICE\...).

No code holds a sector number of its own.

Notes

VOICE/ holds the Japanese voice banks and VOICE_E/ the English ones, file for file, except that VOICE/BGM.BIN has no English twin. STREAM/ pairs the same way: STR1.BIN / STR1E.BIN, STRCMN.BIN / STRCMNE.BIN.

OUTSIDE.BIN is the last file and entirely zero, 1,048,576 bytes, the same on all four discs. No executable or overlay of any volume contains the string OUTSIDE, and nothing reads the disc by sector without a name, so nothing reads it. It pads the end of the disc (inference).

Unknown

None: every file is accounted for above. (An image does not record the pressed disc's layers; the size fits a single-layer DVD-5.)
