iDreams = Infinite Dreams, btw
Games like Sky Force, KRally and Explode Arena on older Symbian on Nokia phones (Series 60 v2, to be exact), which use PAK files without any headers.
This is how it looks like (KRally's in this case):
The question is, are there any extractors or BMS scripts that can interpret these archives?

Do you see any interesting information maybe at the end of the archive?
Feel free to upload a sample file for analysis.

Unfortunately, nothing
Also here's another PAK (this one is from the original Sky Force)

Ok the file was xored with 0xaa.
So everything is ok now but it uses at least two compression algorithms that I can't recognize at the moment (I didn't check further).
In the meantime this is the work-in-progress script, once someone will figure out the two algorithms it will be easy to finish it:

Code: Select all
getdstring ZERO 16
get FILES long
filexor 0xaa
for i = 0 < FILES
get SOME_CRC long
get OFFSET long
get SIZE long
get ZSIZE threebyte
get ZIP byte
if ZIP == 0
log "" OFFSET SIZE
elif ZIP == 2
comtype ???
math OFFSET + 4
math ZSIZE - 4
clog "" OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE
elif ZIP == 3
comtype ???
clog "" OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE
else
print "Error: unknown ZIP %ZIP%"
cleanexit
endif
next i
