identify compression(LZSS?)

Post by peter2005 »

Hi, I'm new here and in need of help. :)


I used QuickBMS comtype scan and got more than first 40 bytes properly decompressed in EDL2.dmp but the rest is garbled . What is EDL2 btw?

This code snippet is the closes thing I was able to found , packed file at the beginning looks identical but again differs further,
no amout of tweaking N, F TRESHOLD, N_BITS, F_BITS brought desired result.

Upload contains compressed, uncompressed file and QBMS result.

EDL2 is part of the EDL compression, don't know where it's used, just the author: c/o Noah 'Zoinkity' Granath (nefariousdogooder@yahoo.com) Oct. 2008.
