I put together a tool to extract the filesystem residing in the main executable of Silent Hill 2. It pertains to all .mgf files in the /data folder.

https://github.com/Nisto/sh2ex

Currently it only supports the following versions:

- SLPM-65051 (v1.50)
- SLPM-65631 - Saigo no Uta - Konami Dendou Selection (v1.50)
- SLUS-20228 (v1.20)
- SLUS-20228GH - Greatest Hits (v2.01)
- SLES-50382 - Special Edition / The Collection (v1.10)

If there are any another versions that needs support, let me know, and I'll look into it (provided I can find the version). I have not found the original Saigo no Uta release, so I'm not sure it will work, but the executable in SLPM-65631 is named according to that release (SLPM-65098 -> SLPM_650.98), so it's possible they are identical. If anyone has that exact release (preferably physically), please let me know if it works.

I assume this is PS2. What else are you working on for Silent Hill or Resident Evil?

Yes, it's for PS2 primarily. It's unlikely I'll ever support the Xbox versions, and if I recall correctly, the PC versions are already "extracted", right?

Apart from adding support for the E3 Demo to the extractor (thus BIN/CD support as well), I don't really have anything else in the pipeline for RE or SH. But if you are looking for something, let me know.

I'm ambitious about creating a PSF/2 set for SH2/3, but resources seem scarce for documentation on PS2 RPC (Remote Procedure Call) programming, and particularly how to use it in conjunction with the modules provided by Neill Corlett. I honestly don't even know how to go about compiling PS2 ELF executables/modules, which I would need to do in order to use sceSifBindRpc and sceSifCallRpc for... stuff.

It now supports the E3 demo.
