Yass Junction Diary Disassembling Macromedia Director 5.0
Why?....
Macromedia Director (now called 'Adobe Director') 5.0 was built in 1996. It was a great platform for creating multimedia presentations and this, at the time, was used by game developers as an engine to build point-and-click adventures on.
One of these games was known as 'Gadget'. Now, Gadget was originally released on a single CD back in 1993, so I assume it was built under Director 3.x, but it was then re-released as a 4CD package with better audio and visuals. In 2003 the game was also re-mastered for iOS (Apple products), providing a HD version.
Anyway, the game became part of my childhood and, although the actual story-line was very linear, everything about it drew me in. As computers progressed, the ability to run the game became more and more difficult. It got to the point now, with 64-bit operating systems, that the applications just wouldn't run. Also there'd be issues with resolutions, as now our monitors are well over 4x larger than the original target screen resolutions.
Therefore my goal was to decode/decipher/disassemble the Director movie format and create an engine to play these movies on all platforms. Something like ScummVM would provide a great basis to build an engine in to and that is currently the end-goal.
How this all started...
This whole concept began because I wanted to play the game and quickly got an "Insufficient memory" error... what? I had 4GB of ram! I assumed the poor application tried to store my amount of available RAM in some tiny variable and potentially got a very negative number. I whipped out the trusty IDA Disassembler and Ollydbg debugger and got to work. Within an hour I had replaced a few bytes in the projector executable to bypass the memory check and the game was running... but it was 640x480 and I knew there was more that could be done.
Director Architecture
Director Movies are created in Macromedia Director which comes in versions for both Macintosh (68k, PPC) and Windows. These are saved as DIR files and are completely self-containing: audio, images, videos, scripts and all the rest of it are embedded in the movies. The user then has the ability to export their movie as a protected DXR or an executable projector. It seems that one can only build a projector for the platform they are working on... you must somehow open your movie in Director on other platforms to create projectors for those systems.
Anatomy of a Director Movie (WORK IN PROGRESS!)
This section will detail the structure of a Director Movie. As work has been progressing it has been noted that the main structure of the movie has stayed backwards-compatible since Director 3.x. I've therefore noted what parts relate to what versions where possible.

| 10th November 2011 | Initial creation of this page for the greater good. A lot of work had been happening in the background and it was time to tell the world as I knew I could lose all bytes very quickly and thought it would be safer kept online. |
Structure
Below is the known structure of a Director Movie. All start locations and lengths are measured in bytes. Note that there are alpha characters throughout the data... I've replaced known characters with the codes, but also duplicated for sake of padding out the bytes.

This is the Memory Map of the Movie. It defines the type of each 'member' in the movie, their location in the file, their size and then two DWORDs of other information which I am yet to decode. There is also a large chunk of data at the bottom which I haven't looked into yet. (Although there is a '0x14' in the 'header' and there are 0x14 entries..) |

Here's the actual timeline of the movie. It has two values for each cast member. At the end is a large chunk of random data... it decodes to:
mory InspectorText Inspector Which to me looks like the old memory hadn't been cleared and written to disk. The actual offset and length of this member means that this information at the end is just padding. I've adjusted my code to skip the tuple if the first DWORD is out of bounds of the expected amount of members. |

The fun stuff: Emulation
Knowing what it is that you are actually disassembling helps massively when digging through bytes. The issue at hand was obtaining and then running the older versions of Macromedia Director. Fortunately there are some great minds around the internet who have decided to catalog and provide ancient versions of software. Some greater minds have then created emulators to faithfully reproduce hardware on different operating systems. Below I'll detail how I got specific versions of Director to run under their required operating systems.
Macromedia Director 5.0 (PowerPC) on Sheepshaver
Finding v5.0 for any platform was difficult. I found a user offering everything but the box on the Amibay.com Forums, but due to a slow response opted to purchase the application from a seller in the USA. He was to take a while for shipping, so he was kind enough to ISO it for me and I had it in a few hours! Running the software on Sheepshaver was simple enough... I actually have the original CDs for Mac OS 8 and the 8.5 upgrade. After configuring shared folders I was creating projectors and debugging them in my .NET application.
I then mucked around with other random PPC software... It was such a cool platform back in the day... when I couldn't afford it!
Macromedia Director 4.0 on Windows 2000
I am still looking for v5.0 for Windows, but haven't had any luck yet. I therefore settled for obtaining v4.0 from Vetusware and got it running under Windows 2000. I initially wanted to run it under Windows 95 or 98 but Virtual Box doesn't have 'host tools' for those operating systems. Fortunately the application runs fine under Windows 2000.
Macromedia Player 4.0 and 6.0A on Acorn RISC OS
This was nothing short of fun... I accidently came across an ISO containing these versions after googling over and over for v5.0 on Windows. I had used Acorn machines back in Primary school and vaguely remembered their hideous GUI. I instantly searched for emulators and found that there were quite a few available! In the end I had no idea what versions of what OS to use, so I just downloaded the first things I came across. This included the RPCEmu 'Spoon Edition', a hard disk image by the name of Lion's RISC OS Archive and then the ISO that included the software.
After dragging and dropping all the files in the correct locations I came up with a working Acorn 3.7 system!
It ended up doing nothing useful... the emulation wasn't capable of running the actual movies... but it was fun to work on. I then found a newer OS to put on the machine. It turns out that the Acorn just ran RISC OS on proprietary hardware; I assumed they actually built their own operating system. In the years between Acorn and 1999 RISC OS Open was founded and they have continued the OS development as open source. You can find a guide to install it all here. I didn't pursue it...
Update: I ended up downloading RISC OS Virtually Free (4.02 ROM Image) and, after following the somewhat tricky instructions, had a newer OS running in RPCEmu. This then allowed the random XMAS movie to play with full sound.
The file format for the movies was the same as what I had seen on Macintosh and Windows, but all attempts to drop in movies that I'd created elsewhere failed. Either way, that was enough screwing around.. I needed to get back to the actual decoding.
Downloads
And now, the grey area.... should these be publicly available? I think so? Software going on 20 years old? All for the greater good of educating people on what DWORDs and BYTEs are? Everyone needs to know what actually happens under-the-hood.
