Like, a data folder/GRF that supports old files such as (for examle) XRay (client) features, or old RO files in general such as a intact Morroc? Here's a link of sdata.grf from January 2006: Click , I think that's about the oldest you could find. As for your other question; You can open GRF files with tools such as gryff SVN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alpha and beta clients didn't use the format known as GRF today. Instead they used a modified version of an archive format from one of Gravity's older games. This format has a different structure and also uses a different compression algorithm, so it can't be extracted by tools aimed at the current format. GrfExtractor by Wdb is one of the few public tools which can handle the old format. If you were hoping to just extract and use the old files without any hassle you'll be disappointed for too many reasons to list in this post. On the flip side you won't be able to actually use the alpha/beta clients either, because their packet versions are too old and the alpha/beta based Athena versions never got into a playable state. Bottom line is that unless you know what you're doing you won't be able to do much with the old clients. However some people have already put work into converting the maps. iRO alpha client can still be found here, or just the maps here. I still have the (open) beta iRO. If you really want it I suppose I can share with it you, but if you just want the maps Kiar over at eAthena already took the beta maps and updated the file formats to more recent versions. You can find this map pack here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
