Sega Ages DATA.CCF

Hi,

Sega Ages Vol. 25: Gunstar Heroes: Treasure Box has a lot of artworks and unique information about Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy and Alien Soldier.

I have been messing around with the ISO and I think all that files (Along with the roms) are located in DATA.CCF.

Unfortunatly, I have no idea about how could I extract all its content. I'd be very grateful if someone could help me with it.

Here is the file: https://mega.nz/file/JR5nkDDZ#BSMAT0wvg ... trmL1rNXZQ

Thanks in advance

I have totally forgotten about this, and to my surprise, yesterday I found the script in your site!

Thank you for that , it works flawlessly.

Would you have any idea about how to get the images from .IMA files?

See ya

Upload one of these IMA files so we can analyze the content (I doubt it's something easy but who knows).

Here it is! Thank you

I guess it's some sort of custom image format containing compressed data, it then contains chunks like IMA, STAT and PALE.

So the first step is the decompression but currently I don't know what's the exact algorithm (no lzss or lzo) and I didn't check the others.

The following is the basic script for decompression that will work when someone will figure out the exact algorithm:

Code: Select all

comtype ??? # didn't check the algorithm!
idstring "SHR\0"
get ZSIZE long
get SIZE long
savepos OFFSET
math ZSIZE - 4
get NAME basename
clog NAME OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE
