Hello, I'm trying to play a game called 'Magical Prince', a game that was buggy on release and criticized for it. Apparently the folks in Japan found ways to make the game more playable, and one of them was to edit the game data files directly. However, upon opening the game files I found that the files in question are stored in .pack archives, and while I can decompress them without issue I can't seem to find a way to repack them into working archives. Does anyone know any ways for repacking, or perhaps editing through .pack archives?

If they're qlie engine .pack files, arc_conv worked for me. Download https://github.com/amayra/arc_conv, build (build.bat), and from command prompt do 

arc_conv.exe --pack qlie <path to data folder> <output filename>

Is there a way to extract scripts from Karin Chatnoir games? Specifically Omerta Chinmoku no Okite, I believe the scripts should be in game.dat as the other .dat files are movie.dat, sound.dat, and voice.dat. ExtractData doesn't work :( I've only worked with Rejet games before so please forgive me for my noviceness

Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction for extracting the scripts for Quinrose's Joker No Kuni No Alice. I've been translating some already extracted files for another Quinrose game but would rather be working on one of the older ones if I'm gonna be putting so much time into a project anyway, assuming I can get into the scripts.

I'm trying to extract a scenario.xp3 file--I tried krkr extract first but dropping my executable on the window didn't prompt anything. I was trying to see if I could get anything going using KiriKiri Tools linked above but I keep getting an error looking for startup.tjs and I'm at a loss LOL

EDIT: More precisely, I did get KiriKiri Tools to extract the .ks files but it's appearing like this even when I changed the settings to Shift JIS which seems... not quite right.

Hello.

I have a project that is making an english patch for psp version of Rewrite and we are having issues with image decoding. 

The formats are .PT2 and .DAT.

Can someone help us?

Here are a link to sample files: https://mega.nz/file/L2IWAKKR#x138U0t4Z_19kH59RSdKx9uJxshfB07Qb_2UBgTKM6k

for anyone who wants context with his post, a member of our Rewrite PSP team posted this while working the project.

https://github.com/IcySon55/Kuriimu/issues/659

Kuriimu was one tool we attempted to use and we aren't currently aware of a tool capable of extracting these files correctly. It is possible we overlooked something and would appreciate any help given.

Thanks 😄

can crass pack files too in addition to eXtract files?

 

I don't think so not as well. GarBro has a built in pack tool but it depends which game and engine you are using. You can extract and recompile with with .xp3 files easily as long as you find the right encryption. There are certain  files types that GarBro doesn't have a recompiler/packer. That's .med, .msd and .msg. .gyu files. Also extraction doesn't work for .gyu files. For pictures in .gyu files you need to use the convert multimedia tool but you can't extract scenarios either.  It frustrates me to no end that there is is no recompiler for these file types. There needs to be a GarBro update.

Hey guys I'm trying to extract pictures from some .MED files, but when I open it with garbro, it's split up in the base pictures and different faces that are layered on. Is there any way to extract the complete pictures with layered faces? Perhaps a better software than garbro for .MED files?

For some inexplicable reason I seemed to have missed your post, I'm trying your method right now but for some reason I'm failing to produce a archive.

The command i'm using is (copypasted from the prompt)

F:\New Game\MagicalPrince\hacks\arc>arc_conv.exe --pack qlie F:\New Game\MagicalPrince\hacks\arc\data0 data0

(the folder containing arc_conv is 'arc', and the files to be packed are in a folder named 'data0' placed within 'arc'.) of course the goal is to create data0.pack, but no so far running the codes don't seem to create anything. Am I doing something wrong?

Not sure because I don't touch in this engine for a good time, but as Far I remember this game have a external encrpytion key that are placed in a certain directory of the game.
Maybe your problem is how you moved the extracted directory and the arc_conv failed to find that key?
With that said, it was my guess, it is unlikely that I would get it right without seeing what is going on but it is worth the try.

Also, put the directory path inside "", for example:
  

arc_conv.exe --pack qlie "F:\New Game\MagicalPrince\hacks\arc\data0" data0

A few tries with the directory did the trick, the new arc files works!

Sadly I can't get the changes I want to implement (restoring the cg mode the devs broke on release), might have to try fishing around for games the original game files for this one.

Anyhow, thanks a lot for your help!!

This Minori Engine and Yuris Engine is the two engine that I don't like to lost my time.

HAo there, I'm trying to translate this VN, https://vndb.org/v4803,  well more like I want to translate it since I dont know how to extract the data. The game uses some kind of .dat files or something like that and its a real pain in the ass to get it working. I tried using arc_unpacker and a lot of other extractors to no avail. Arc_extractor at least pointed that maybe it was an NScripter engine but I used Filextractor, nsaout and nsdec and it was fruitless as well. Im actually about to give up at this point.

Hii~

Is it GARbro already dead?
Any tools like GARbro?

 

Wondering the same thing. Seems like it hasn't been updated in over a year.

And it's sad because I can't figure out how to extract files from the game "White Wings ホワイトウィングス." Apparently it uses the KiriKiri engine, but I don't know what encryption it used.

Hi, just want to ask here, is there anyone knows how to extract CG from the game Kishin Houkou Demonbane? It is the ported PC version from the PS2, which came out last year. Because it used NPK engine so i don't know how to extract it, even my friend so far tried all methods but none of them work either. Much appreciated if anyone can help.

Try this, you need found the game key before, this have a tool to that too.
then put the game key using the command line arguments

That said, maybe don't works, the VNDB said the engine isn't the mware...
