Some of the files are compressed as noted on the wiki page:

Those files that are compressed start with a UINT32BE value storing the uncompressed size (in bytes), followed by the compressed data. The compression algorithm is LZSS with a length field of 2 bits, a distance field of 8 bits and a code field of 0=escape, 1=length/distance pair. The length-distance pair stores the length field first, followed by the distance field. Like the field storing the uncompressed size, all bits are decoded in big-endian order.

As far as is known, the .mat, .mdi and .pc1 files are always compressed, and all other files are uncompressed.

If aluigi wants to implement this into the script, then that's all the better.

I have some problems to build the list of parameters for comtype lzss using these information.
By default lzss uses "12 4 2 2": EI, EJ, P and rless (the names of the first 3 come from the original implementation).
I tried some values but don't get any good result.
Maybe it's not that lzss?
