Another Mind (????????? Anaz? Maindo?) is an FMV visual Novel created by Squaresofy for Sony PlayStation and released on November 12, 1998 in Japan. The game is extremely obscure. The game involves a 16 year-old girl named Hitomi Hayama who is involved in a car accident and admitted to a hospital. Upon waking, she realizes that another mind has taken residence in her head. The player takes on the role of this separate consciousness. The pair are then put into the middle of a mystery that begins at the hospital, which includes a murder, several suicide attempts, and a bombing attempt. Hitomi frequently communicates back with the player, and the player must convince her to perform actions rather than commanding.
The file location data on the CD-ROM is indexed much like FF7, the sector lookup table is called CDPOS.DAT and in the root directory.
The following are the file formats for the game. These are loacted in the /PRGDATA folder. If the extension end in a "Z" They are compressed in an LZS format elaborated below.

It follows the following format in little-endian (backwards) {| class="wikitable"! Sector Offset! Data Length

== Compression == You must subtract one to the sector location to get the actual location of the disk. Take, for example BUS3012.TIZ (entry 257). According to it's ISO6996 directory entry says it starts at 0x032E78 and has a length of 0xE00F. The compressed files are compressed with LZS entry in CDPOS.DAT shows it's location of 0x032E79 with a special 2-byte header that starts with "C3 FF" making it as compressedlength of 0xE00F.The data on means the file is indexed much like FF7ISO starts at zero, the sector lookup table is called CDPOS.DAT and in the root directory.while Square starts indexing at one(?)
