Post by Mysticus »

Does anybody have some tool or script to extract stuff from the files from XENOSAGA 1?

I don't see any TOC (table with information of the archived files).
The file immediately starts with data that I suppose is an image.
At the end there is just padding ("MONOLITHSOFT Xenosaga Episode.1")

Try posting the list of files of the game, maybe there is an index file there.

Probably there was a misunderstanding, I said "list" of files.
The list, the directory-tree, even a screenshot is enough.

Just open XENOSAGA.00 and the script will do the job automatically.
Let me know if everything works well.

Ah, regarding the compressed files, it will just dump them compressed because I don't have samples with compressed data.
Feel free to upload one of the files in the compressed folder for analysis.

Not sure if I can fix it, anyway I updated the script with an additional check that may help (I hope).
Ah, I forgot to use the original filenames :D so this new script now dumps the files with the correct names.
Feel free to share one of the files from the compressed folder for analysis.
