Laudna and FCG playing "good cop bad cop" is something I didn't know I needed 😂

Also dang FCG goes hard! Did not expect him to be so intimidating! Good for him!

Experienced qtubbo enjoyers (aka. Anyone who is not me tbh): does the song Åmara (The Great Intelligence [alt. translation: The Cyberbrain of the Great Future]) [Åmara (Daimirai Dennou)] give qtubbo/creation storyline vibes

Lyrics below the cut

The countless dioramas are swallowed up by the response (sound)

On this planet where this prolonged heart shines

Even forgetting how to strip those words off

Imprisoned by the sound of gunshots and something

I push through the moon’s darkness

Uncover the fantasy

Defy the voices

Even if there's no light

Is this all reality or fiction? Not a single one of us knows what is beyond that

Is this all reality or fiction? Not a single one of us knows what is beyond that

Is this all reality or ficcccc

The seamless binds tremble at the response (sound)

The fortress is full of thoughts engraved in it

Even forgetting the name of whom the poem awaits

Abducted by the shooting stars and my tears

I conceal this glass heart

Uncover the fantasy

Defy the voices

Is

this

all

reality

or

fiction?

Not

a

single

one

of

us

knows

what

is

beyond

that

(What was being composed is beyond our civilization’s comprehension)

(What was being composed is beyond our civilization’s comprehension)

The circuit pulsates with both civilizations and wonders

Offer the bouquet to the transparent monster–

and swallow down the stars!

The corridor[1] emits the poison of dreams

Until the festival of rebirth cuts short

Crawl through the heavens, into the night!

(What was being composed is beyond our civilization’s comprehension)

(What was being composed, for our civilization―――)

[Side note, this song is a banger! Heres the song description, for context if you desire it:

"(What was being composed is beyond our civilization’s comprehension)

(Our civilization's daily storage device that has gone warped and turned grey is failing) For example, that storage device is a cyber brain that sings praises about the end and rebirth. This story is set in the far, far future where humans have gone extinct and inhuman beings endlessly questioned themselves and evolved over and over. I want to leave it to you to decide whether the complex message they’re singing is 'heavenly' or 'hellish'"]

Everywhere at the End of Time

(Überall am Ende der Zeit)

PHASE 1 Hier erfahren wir die ersten Zeichen von Gedächtnisverlust. Diese Phase ist wie ein schöner Tagtraum. Der Glanz alter Tage und ihrer Erinnerungen. Der letzte aller schönen Tage.

A1 - Nur eine brennende Erinnerung A2 - Uns bleiben nicht viele Tage A3 - Das Schweifen eines späten Nachmittags A4 - Kindlich frische Augen A5 - Leicht verwirrt A6 - Wunderschöne und vergängliche Dinge B1 - Alles Folgende ist wahr B2 - Eine herbstliche Tagundnachtgleiche B3 - Stille innere Rebellionen B4 - Die Lieben meines ganzen Lebens B5 - In unsere beider Augen B6 - Mein Herz wird in Freude verstummen

PHASE 2 Die zweite Phase besteht in der Realisation, dass etwas nicht stimmt zusammen mit der Weigerung, dies zu akzeptieren. Es fließt mehr Aufwand in den Erinnerungsprozess, was Erinnerungen länger werden lässt mit einer zunehmend schlechteren Qualität. Die Laune ist allgemein schlechter als in der ersten Phase und steht an dem Punkt kurz bevor die Verwirrung einsetzt.

C1 - Es wütet eine verlorene Schlacht C2 - In der Zeit deplatziert C3 - Was spielt es für eine Rolle, wie mein Herz bricht C4 - Hoffnungsschimmer in schwierigen Zeiten C5 - Sich der Verzweiflung ergeben D1 - Es fühlt sich noch immer so an als wäre ich ich D2 - Eine leise Dämmerung kommt früh D3 - Letzte Momente purer Erinnerung D4 - Entwirrende Leugnung D5 - Der Weg vor mir fühlt sich einsam an

PHASE 3 Hier präsentieren sich uns die letzten kohärenten Erinnerungen bevor die Verwirrung vollständig einsetzt und die grauen Schleier sich formen und wieder verschwinden. An die besten Momente kann sich noch erinnert werden, der musikalische Flow ist stellenweise verfälscht und wirr. Während wir fortschreiten werden einzelne Erinnerungen mehr und mehr gestört, isoliert, gebrochen und distanziert. Dies ist die letzte Glut des Bewusstseins, bevor wir in die Phasen eintreten, die jenseits des Bewusstseins liegen.

E1 - Dort hinten Benjamin E2 - Und Herz bricht E3 - Verstecktes Meer tief vergraben E4 - Libets fröhliche Bekanntschaft E5 - Zum minimal großem Versteckten E6 - Über den Verlust hinaus erhaben E7 - Verwundert in anderen Augen E8 - Langzeit Dämmerung Einblicke F1 - Abstufungen von Armes Länge F2 - Schweifende Zeit deplatziert F3 - Innere verblüffte Welt F4 - Brennende Verzweiflung tut weh F5 - Schmerzende Höhle ohne Klarheit F6 - Ein leeres Glück jenseits dieser Welt F7 - Libet Verzögerung F8 - Trauernde Bekanntschaft

PHASE 4 In der Post-Bewusstseins-Phase 4 weichen Gelassenheit und die Fähigkeit, einzelne Erinnerungen abzurufen der einsetzenden Verwirrung und Schrecken. Es ist der Beginn eines Prozesses, in dessen Verlauf alle Erinnerungen durch Verflechtung, Aufbrechen und Wiederholung irgendwann fließend und formlos werden.

G1 - Phase 4 Post-Bewusstseins-Verwirrungen H1 - Phase 4 Post-Bewusstseins-Verwirrungen I1 - Phase 4 Temporäre Glückseligkeitsphase J1 - Phase 4 Post-Bewusstseins-Verwirrungen

PHASE 5 Post-Bewusstseins-Phase 5 Verwirrung und Horror. Extreme Verflechtung, Wiederholung und Aufbrüche können ruhigeren Momenten weichen. Unbekanntes kann sich vertraut anhören und anfühlen. Zeit wird nur noch allein verbracht, was zu Isolation führt.

K1 - Phase 5 Fortgeschrittene Plague-Verflechtung L1 - Phase 5 Fortgeschrittene Plague-Verflechtung M1 - Synapsen-Retrogenese N1 - Phase 5 Plötzlicher Rückschritt in der Zeit, hinein in Isolation

PHASE 6 Post-Bewusstseins-Phase 6 ist ohne Beschreibung.

O1 - Phase 6 Eine Verwirrung so dicht, dass man vergisst, zu vergessen P1 - Phase 6 Eine brutale Glückseligkeit abseits dieser leeren Niederlage Q1 - Phase 6 Langanhaltende Verschlechterung ist vorüber R1 - Phase 6 Platz in der Welt verblasst

Capturing the ambience of Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge

This cult Xbox title launches pilots into dogfights above a handful of locales, each with its own auditory footprint.

Running the game

At the time of writing, the two dominant Xbox emulators offer significantly different experiences. Cxbx-Reloaded is performant but exhibits some (minor) graphical issues. Much more significantly, it sometimes crashes which can prevent the completion of story missions.

If your system can handle it, you can use Xemu. Or, continue using Cxbx while skipping missions (see below) to avoid any problematic portions in the game.

Installing DLC and title update

Xbox Live is no longer operation for original Xboxes, but fans have archived this content, and made it easy to install. Before installing it, you'll want to apply some rendering-improvement modifications - see below.

Widescreen

Extract the game's content and apply this hex edit, courtesy of Esppiral and retroszur, to the game's XBE. Once again, please note it is for the XBE with DLC:

Find:

00 00 80 3F 8B CE E8 31 09 03 00 F3 0F 10 06 F3 0F 10 4E 0C F3 0F 11 44 24 40 F3 0F 10 46 04 F3 0F 11 44 24 44 F3 0F 10 46 08 F3 0F 11 4C 24 50

Replace:

00 00 40 3F 8B CE E8 31 09 03 00 F3 0F 10 06 F3 0F 10 4E 0C F3 0F 11 44 24 40 F3 0F 10 46 04 F3 0F 11 44 24 44 F3 0F 10 46 08 F3 0F 11 4C 24 50

Unlocked framerate

To unlock the framerate, find:

01 00 00 00 5B 83 C4 08 C3 D8 0D 58 36 29 00 89 46 10 89 4E 14 E8 D6 30 0C 00 5F 89 46 18 5E 33 C0 5B 83 C4 08 C3 CC CC 83 EC 08 56 8D 44 24 04

And replace:

00 00 00 00 5B 83 C4 08 C3 D8 0D 58 36 29 00 89 46 10 89 4E 14 E8 D6 30 0C 00 5F 89 46 18 5E 33 C0 5B 83 C4 08 C3 CC CC 83 EC 08 56 8D 44 24 04

You'll want to apply this timing fix along with it. Find:

00 00 7A 44 00 00 20 41 30 B7 01 00 C0 93 01 00 90 93 01 00 70 52 01 00 90 AD 01 00 00 2C 13 00 80 76 0E 00 80 52 01 00 60 28 0C 00 60 28 0C 00 90 52 01 00

And replace:

00 00 FA 43 00 00 20 41 30 B7 01 00 C0 93 01 00 90 93 01 00 70 52 01 00 90 AD 01 00 00 2C 13 00 80 76 0E 00 80 52 01 00 60 28 0C 00 60 28 0C 00 90 52 01 00

Capturing footage

To record footage from The Pandora, which serves as the Hunters' hangar, we can remove the HUD elements present at plane selection. The easiest way to achieve this is capture one of the HUD-less frames during the short transition between mission selection and fighter selection, and render it as an overlay on top of our recorded hangar footage.

I don't know of any Xbox emulators which support texture mods. If such an option existed, we could replace the textures which make up the HUD. We could also try to manipulate the extracted texture files, and run the modified game. But I didn't try either of these.

The HUD is briefly hidden when your plane is shown exiting the Pandora to enter a free-roam area. I tried getting this state to persist using Cheat Engine, but failed.

Extracting sounds

My favorite tool for extracting Xbox files is wx360 v1.6.

Crimson Skies has a ton of audio directories. We're most interested in Pandora_Internal, inside the UI folder, and the dedicated ZIP archives for each locale (AX, CH, LC, and SH). There are some other streams in the general archive as well.

To convert the Xbox audio files we can use vgmstream (I recommend the command line tool) or VLC. I found the results were slightly different - personally in these situations I tend to trust vgmstream.

After comparing in-game recordings to simple asset loops, I believe that the game somehow specifies loop start/end points for its ambient streams. I'm not sure where this information is stored however - perhaps the SDB files inside the data archive?

For mission areas, it seems like the game crossfades relevant ambient assets by about 5 seconds to create a continuous loop.

Skipping missions

You can use CrimsonData.txt files from completed saved games, or use cheats to speedrun the game. However, I couldn't get the former to work - presumably there is some kind of checksum system at work to prevent cheating or DLC piracy. There are tools to re-sign saved content but the one I tried doesn't support Crimson Skies.

Putting it all together

Render your properly looped assets on top of your footage and any overlay to eliminate HUD elements.

Everywhere at the end of time' was a series exploring dementia, its advancement and its totality.

STAGE 1 :

00:00:00 Here we experience the first signs of memory loss. This stage is most like a beautiful daydream. The glory of old age and recollection. The last of the great days.

00:00:00 - A1 - It's just a burning memory

00:03:32 - A2 - We don't have many days

00:07:02 - A3 - Late afternoon drifting

00:10:38 - A4 - Childishly fresh eyes

00:13:36 - A5 - Slightly bewildered

00:15:38 - A6 - Things that are beautiful and transient

00:20:12 - B1 - All that follows is true

00:23:44 - B2 - An autumnal equinox

00:26:31 - B3 - Quiet internal rebellions

00:30:02 - B4 - The loves of my entire life

00:34:06 - B5 - Into each others eyes

00:38:42 - B6 - My heart will stop in joy

STAGE 2 :

00:41:22 The second stage is the self realisation and awareness that something is wrong with a refusal to accept that. More effort is made to remember so memories can be more long form with a little more deterioration in quality. The overall personal mood is generally lower than the first stage and at a point before confusion starts setting in.

00:41:22 - C1 - A losing battle is raging

00:46:01 - C2 - Misplaced in time

00:50:44 - C3 - What does it matter how my heart breaks

00:53:22 - C4 - Glimpses of hope in trying times

00:58:06 - C5 - Surrendering to despair

01:03:09 - D1 - I still feel as though I am me

01:07:17 - D2 - Quiet dusk coming early

01:10:54 - D3 - Last moments of pure recall

01:14:47 - D4 - Denial unravelling

01:19:02 - D5 - The way ahead feels lonely

STAGE 3 :

01:23:17 Here we are presented with some of the last coherent memories before confusion fully rolls in and the grey mists form and fade away. Finest moments have been remembered, the musical flow in places is more confused and tangled. As we progress some singular memories become more disturbed, isolated, broken and distant. These are the last embers of awareness before we enter the post awareness stages.

01:23:17 - E1 - Back there Benjamin

01:27:33 - E2 - And heart breaks

01:31:38 - E3 - Hidden sea buried deep

01:32:59 - E4 - Libet's all joyful camaraderie

01:36:12 - E5 - To the minimal great hidden

01:37:53 - E6 - Sublime beyond loss

01:40:03 - E7 - Bewildered in other eyes

01:41:55 - E8 - Long term dusk glimpses

01:45:29 - F1 - Gradations of arms length

01:47:00 - F2 - Drifting time misplaced

01:51:16 - F3 - Internal bewildered World

01:54:45 - F4 - Burning despair does ache

01:57:22 - F5 - Aching cavern without lucidity

01:58:41 - F6 - An empty bliss beyond this World

02:02:19 - F7 - Libet delay

02:06:15 - F8 - Mournful cameraderie

STAGE 4 :

02:08:53 Post-Awareness Stage 4 is where serenity and the ability to recall singular memories gives way to confusions and horror. It's the beginning of an eventual process where all memories begin to become more fluid through entanglements, repetition and rupture.

02:08:53 - G1 - Stage 4 Post Awareness Confusions

02:31:02 - H1 - Stage 4 Post Awareness Confusions

02:52:55 - I1 - Stage 4 Temporary Bliss State

03:13:58 - J1 - Stage 4 Post Awareness Confusions

STAGE 5 :

03:36:12 Post-Awareness Stage 5 confusions and horror. More extreme entanglements, repetition and rupture can give way to calmer moments. The unfamiliar may sound and feel familiar. Time is often spent only in the moment leading to isolation.

03:36:12 - K1 - Stage 5 Advanced plaque entanglements

03:58:49 - L1 - Stage 5 Advanced plaque entanglements

04:21:37 - M1 - Stage 5 Synapse retrogenesis

04:42:25 - N1 - Stage 5 Sudden time regression into isolation

STAGE 6 :

05:04:32 Post-Awareness Stage 6 is without description.

05:04:32 - O1 - Stage 6 A confusion so thick you forget forgetting

05:26:25 - P1 - Stage 6 A brutal bliss beyond this empty defeat

05:48:02 - Q1 - Stage 6 Long decline is over

06:09:12 - R1 - Stage 6 Place in the World fades away
