Utilities

  • CUE has released a decompressor, and various converters (the script inserter does fail sometimes), downloadable in this thread of pscave.net board. Sources are not available.
  • RodolfoRG has released a decompressor, downloadable here, sources included, and wrote a document (in portuguese) describing the compression.

Compression

Files contents

Each DAT file is an archive. Bytes 0 to 3 is the nb_of_files contained, then each sequence of 4 bytes, multiplied by $800, is the offset to the begining of the file. They will be considered as directories in the following listing. Most of them are LZR-compressed.
