Hi, I am sorry if this is a naive question, but how do I decompress or dissassemble a gamecube .dat file? I have a giftpia.dat that's 127 megabytes, can't seem to decompress it to peek inside. the Biohazard biofat app that can disassemble RE4's .dat files doesn't seem to work with it. Is there a tool to take them apart? hex editor reveals: Uª8-... ..l±..là ÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌ...........€......d .‹Ò`...........æ......là ...û......sà ..Èo...&..<`..â€c...4..Ãà ..ÑC...<."¢@..–û...J./9@..vc...R.3¯À.......`.;¼à So it might be U * like Mario Kart. Update: This currently comes up pretty high in google's search so for future posters: wszst works in linux be sure to use -M and then a big number if you get the file size error. ctools from chad is a geek or szs modifier worked just fine. .dat does not stand for an encryption method, and the giftpia.dat turned out to be a u8 file.
is there a conversion chart of the gamecube japanese font to hex or at least what number corresponds to what kanji? the font used in giftpia is font_sjis.bin renders NTSC (J) update: is probably shift JIS Edit: It's not shift-jis the game just uses a hiragana and katakana sprite sheet.
