Final Fantasy X as well as other Square(Enix) games store data in a unique way for their PS2 games. Unsure if this is primarily a protection scheme, optimization, or both. Only a few essential files can be seen on the disc with the rest of the data hidden. The program most likely loads a index or table of indexes from a specific sector on the disc. Using a debug copy of the game shows what may be some useful information in terms of file/folder names. Modding files will be extremely difficult which would require rebuilding the whole image. Current goal is simple extraction. Need raw dump of disc to search data from.
