New ReMake 2019 Portable



Let me give you just a few examples of what has changed since I wrote the article in 1994. Since 16-bit Windows is history, there's no need to compare and contrast the format to the Win16 New Executable format. Another welcome departure from the scene is Win32s. This was the abomination that ran Win32 binaries very shakily atop Windows 3.1. Back then, Windows 95 (codenamed "Chicago" at the time) wasn't even released. Windows NT was still at version 3.5, and the linker gurus at Microsoft hadn't yet started getting aggressive with their optimizations. However, there were MIPS and DEC Alpha implementations of Windows NT that added to the story. And what about all the new things that have come along since that article? 64-bit Windows introduces its own variation of the Portable Executable (PE) format. Windows CE adds all sorts of new processor types. Optimizations such as delay loading of DLLs, section merging, and binding were still over the horizon. There are many new things to shoehorn into the story. And let's not forget about Microsoft .NET. Where does it fit in? To the operating system, .NET executables are just plain old Win32 executable files. However, the .NET runtime recognizes data within these executable files as the metadata and intermediate language that are so central to .NET. In this article, I'll knock on the door of the .NET metadata format, but save a thorough survey of its full splendor for a subsequent article. And if all these additions and subtractions to the world of Win32 weren't enough justification to remake the article with modern day special effects, there are also errors in the original piece that make me cringe. For example, my description of Thread Local Storage (TLS) support was way out in left field. Likewise, my description of the date/time stamp DWORD used throughout the file format is accurate only if you live in the Pacific time zone! In addition, many things that were true then are incorrect now. I had stated that the .rdata section wasn't really used for anything important. Today, it certainly is. I also said that the .idata section is a read/write section, which has been found to be most untrue by people trying to do API interception today. Along with a complete update of the PE format story in this article, I've also overhauled the PEDUMP program, which displays the contents of PE files. PEDUMP can be compiled and run on both the x86 and IA-64 platforms, and can dump both 32 and 64-bit PE files. Most importantly, full source code for PEDUMP is available for download fropm the link at the top of this article, so you have a working example of the concepts and data structures described here.

That's it for the headers of PE files. In Part 2 of this article I'll continue the tour of portable executable files by looking at commonly encountered sections. Then I'll describe the major data structures within those sections, including imports, exports, and resources. And finally, I'll go over the source for the updated and vastly improved PEDUMP.

A leaker that previously revealed Atlus is working on a remake of Persona 3 reconfirms the game's development. What's next for the Persona franchise has been a mystery since the release of Persona 5 Royal in 2019, as Atlus has lingered on the RPG, bringing it to PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox consoles in 2022. With that behind it, Atlus seems primed to move onto the next major Persona release. Yet it might not be Persona 6 at all, but rather another opportunity for Persona 3.


The release of Persona 3 started what many could say is the origin of the Persona franchise's current momentum. While the original Persona 3 release on PlayStation 2 performed poorly next to the first and second Persona games, its remakes, Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable, both elevated the release significantly. Those releases helped built a larger western audience, which has led to franchise growth for Persona 4, Persona 5, and many additional spin-off releases.


On ResetEra, fans have been speculating what Persona announcements could be forthcoming from Atlus in 2023. One user brought up a longstanding rumor regarding a Persona 3 remake, questioning if it was still happening with Atlus now re-releasing Persona 3 Portable. This prompted a response from insider lolilolailo, who previously leaked the news of Persona coming to Xbox Game Pass in 2022. According to lolilolailo, the Persona 3 remake "is real" still.


A follow-up comment asking why Atlus would re-release Persona 3 Portable if a remake was in development also received an answer. lolilolailo explained, quite simply, "It's Atlus." More specifically, they say an updated Persona 3 Portable release will bring the "whole" Persona saga to new consoles. Atlus can capitalize on the original game, and then on the remake with its Persona 5-like graphics and quality-of-life improvements later.


To be clear, lolilolailo never says that the Persona 3 remake is one of Atlus' planned announcements for 2023. It's entirely possible the remake, if it does exist, will launch much later. That would give the Persona 3 Portable re-launch plenty of time to breathe. Without an official confirmation from Atlus, though, Persona fans will just have to wait and see what Atlus has planned next for the increasingly popular RPG franchise.


I loved the PSP and always chose it over the DS...but I then got the VITA...it found it's home for a little while, but again, lack of games for it at the time, and I ended up getting rid of it, and unlike other consoles that I've gotten rid of, I've had no temptation of getting it back. Still have my PSP and a ton of games and even UMD Movies for it and even though it doesn't get as much play anymore, it was a fantastic portable system at the time! The vita could have been something, but just like what some others mentioned, Sony seemed to give up on it or forget about it, their main focus became getting the PS3 to sell better. Let's just hope that Sony learns their lesson and doesn't price the PS5 too high. With the massive success they've earned with the PS4, let's hope they stay on top in the console market, and don't also forget that if they did another handheld, their teams are split between projects for both systems...if you look at nintendo during the Wii/Wii U/3DS/DS generations, if one console was getting a bunch of games that year, the other wasn't and vice versa. With nintendo just only having to focus on the Switch (sorry 3DS), they're able to bring more games to it...I'd rather have Sony stick to what they're doing better at, but I could see them eventually trying something like the Switch, especially if nintendo rounds it again for their next console and has another success, or if Microsoft tries to lay into the handheld. Never say never, Sony will try something again, but the big question would be...will there be a market for it?


Star Ocean: First Departure R is definitely a game that might not have aged as well as some others, although the game is still fun to play. The music is one of the weakest points of the game, as is the relatively simple combat system. If you remember that the game is a remaster of a remake of a Super Nintendo game, a little can be forgiven, especially since it gives newer gamers a chance to try out the first game is a long-running series. The price is definitely a good spot to not break the bank, either, so fans of RPGs might bite just because of that. The relatively short length is also something that should be taken into consideration, meaning some people will be waiting for a sale in order to buy it. In the end, this is an above average game that while fun to play, is missing some things to make it a must buy.


Visually, this collection is a mixed bag that mostly gets everything right. These games are over a decade old on PC and there is only so much you can do without trying a full blown remake. During gameplay, most things look crisp and the game runs fine but cutscenes definitely remind you that this is a game that released a long time ago. The interface is very nicely done and looks great. There are some assets that look blurry but most things have cleaned up very well on modern screens. The map in particular looks way better than I expected it to given footage of the PC original.


Stevivor was named as Highly Commended in the category of Best Independent Media Outlet at the Australian IT Journalism Awards in 2016 and in 2019. In 2018, Stevivor won Best Esports Coverage at the Esports Pro Oceania Awards.


In a 2019 Game Informer article looking at 25 years of PlayStation Consoles, former President and CEO of SIE (Sony Interactive Entertainment), Andrew House, claimed that the PSP "had some really good success... especially in the Japanese market".


Persona 5 Royal launched in Japan in October 2019 and in the West in March 2020. The original Persona 5 game debuted for the PS4 and PS3 in Japan in September 2016. The game shipped in North America in April 2017.
