Greetings! I was referred her by akderebur from Xentax.
I have been able to extract textures, scrambled and unscrambled, audio, and video from the game. However what I am after is the mesh geometry, only 1 of which I was able to get from psxprev and useless rectangle ~6 times length of its square ends.
We have speculated that the geometry reference information is located in a 750KB file called slps_005.22, but we aren't sure. Below are links to that .22 file and a .bns in which the textures were found, I believe the mesh are in it too, as the only other files are the video and audio containers and the 2KB system.cnf.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

The first thing I did was using this script on the BNS archive because it's still in PS chunked format (don't know the exact name):
http://aluigi.org/bms/ps1_disk_chunks.bms

I don't see a table with information in the file so I guess the information are stored somewhere else, maybe in the executable yes, but didn't check yet.
Anyway I see a lot of "pBAV" magics so, worst case scenario, it's possible to dump the vag data as-is without external tools or scripts.

Well, I can say that I don't really know what you mean, it's only been about 3 days since I began looking into ripping PSX/1/One data. The extent of my hex editing knowledge begins and ends at altering directx dds, dx3 to dx5 for example, with some playing with altering image dimensions.
