I was going to avoid mentioning echelon's rip, but I should probably add this: Echelon's was the JP version and they just made a 20 byte file called YARIGHT.BIN to replace SPECIAL.BIN and hexedited it into the 1st_read.bin in place of where it said "special.bin". It's in the same place where "snip_e.afs" is named in the 1st_read.bin if you wanted to take a look. Also, echelon just did the default alphabetical file order. Because of this, I would think that there is no check on the size or lba of SPECIAL.BIN... unless there's that much of a protection difference between the Japanese and USA versions.

I was thinking maybe there's an extra protection that needs edited like in Confidential mission or Jet Grind Radio.
