I really like how the AI is being used here. Now to my question, if I want to do stuff with say MotorStorm Apocalypse to GTA V (as in conversion of car models to that game), could this be a potential route to take?

Yes. That's the "port the content" pattern in the mashup-mods skill: convert the cars from your own copy of MotorStorm Apocalypse (a dump of your PS3 disc) into GTA V add-on vehicles.

  • MotorStorm side: check whether community tools already read its model format. If not, the agent can reverse-engineer it from your dump with the reverse-engineering skill.
  • GTA V side: add-on vehicles are built with OpenIV and CodeWalker and need their meta files (see big-frameworks.md). Story mode only, never GTA Online.

The converted models stay on your machine: publish the converter, not the cars. A field note would be welcome if you get it working.

If the issue is that Apocalypse has DLC that are in .pkg files. So could I just unpack the base game and DLCs/patches into one folder and work from there? A person within the MS community wants to try and extract vehicles but they are gatekeeping the models behind a pay wall. I don’t really have a 5090 (more like I am using a laptop with an integrated GPU). So that is why I want to work on Apocalypse and then from there, work on the other MS games. Please don’t be offended but is it possible for me to use this to reverse engineer Pursuit Force (PSP game made by BigBig Studios) and Jett Rocket (WiiWare game made by Shin’en)

Not offended at all, these are good questions.

  • DLC and patches in .pkg files: install the base game, the patches and the DLC you own into RPCS3. It installs .pkg files, and DLC needs the license files from your own PS3. Then work from RPCS3's installed copy (dev_hdd0/game/<title id>/), which has everything in one place. Don't download PKGs or license files from elsewhere.
  • No big GPU needed: the agent's model runs in the cloud, and reverse-engineering formats and converting models runs on the CPU. You only need enough to run GTA V or the emulator to test.
  • Pursuit Force (PSP) and Jett Rocket (WiiWare): yes, same approach. Dump your own UMD or WiiWare title with homebrew on your own console, test in PPSSPP or Dolphin, and let the agent work out the file formats with the reverse-engineering skill. retro-decomp.md lists the emulator routes.

Whatever you extract stays on your machine, and you share converters, not the models.

Hmmm. Okay, might need a video or something to visualize all of what has
been said so far.

Fair! There's no walkthrough video yet. The quickest way to see it work: clone the repo, open your agent inside it, and ask "set up RPCS3 with my MotorStorm Apocalypse dump and find the car model files". It goes one step at a time and explains as it goes.

Yay! For now i might just wait for you to do a video using RPCS3, PPSSPP,

Can I use VS Code free for this tool?
