I developed a little java program which is able to extract all bmp files from my image.img located in the firmware folder AVICZ110\APL\MENU\.

Usage:

java -jar xtractor.jar

It generates a folder/file structure like this:

OutputFolder
|
|- 2M
|   |- 007_2M_AV-001.bmp
|   |- 007_2M_AV-001.bmp
|   |- 007_2M_AV-002.bmp
|   |- ...
|- 32k
|   |- 007_32K_AV-001.bmp
|   |- 007_32K_AV-002.bmp
|   |- 007_32K_AV-003.bmp
|   |- ...
|- pOver
|   |- 2M
|   |   |- 007_2M_OM-001.bmp
|   |   |- 007_2M_OM-002.bmp
|   |   |- 007_2M_OM-003.bmp
|   |   |- ...
|   |- 32K
|   |- GZ

Tested with Image.img from this firmware for my F9220BT:

Product		: AVICZ110
Release File	: APL
Release Version : 3.001000
Release Machine : BUILDL09

Only extracting is supported in this version. I'll implement repackaging of modified bmp's in the next version

and release the source code when all stuff is finished.

Would be great if somebody could test it with other firmwares/devices and let me know if it worked.

Thanks for writing this up. Any idea what's up with the block at the top of the file? Could it be a signature?

Also, confirmed working on X930BT image. Updated my thread with a link to your tool.

This is the complete file format spec, as far as i understood it:

I implemented repacking and tried to recreate the image file from the extracted bitmaps. It works so far. But the generated gzip data is different:

I tried various libraries and compression levels but the filesize or the resulting binaries have always been different from the original ones. Maybe the pioneer firmware doesn't complain about this, but i would prefer generating the files as close as possible to the original.

So i'll keep trying ...

I implemented repacking and tried to recreate the image file from the extracted bitmaps.

I've been trying to simply edit a bitmap and save it with the same settings as the original, but neither Paint nor GIMP are doing very well with it so far. Just opening the file, and resaving it over itself, changes the file's size.

Have you tried repackaging the image file then reloading it onto a deck?

Something else that's odd: I ran Image.img through TrID, and it's being identified as "Lumena Paint Bitmap" (.CEL). Curiously enough, .cel files can handle multi-page bitmaps (several bitmaps per file). Unfortunately, Lumena is impossible to find, because it seems to have been an old win3.1 program. I tried a couple converters that claimed they could covert .cel files, but they failed.

Works for Z120BT

2885 files extracted.

Hi, I have a F9220BT, and wanted to draw and edit image files.

I downloaded the application that are above, but do not know how it runs.

The downloaded on my PC, I double-click on and does nothing.

As I can do to make it work?

thanks

Too bad rope didn't follow up on his work here.  I would like to change some of the icons.

I'm sorry that the topic died! ...
