Compressed files in EXE

Post by dniel888 »

Recently, I encountered many programs that compress all files in the exe, I searched for solution in particular cases (like Molebox and xenocode),
and I found no solution to extract all the files that within the exe, I found some partial solutions but the most of them outdated, I'm searching for way to do that,
if anyone can guide how to extract the files, please help me.

Thank you very much.

sorry for my bad english.

A simple "blind" generic test you can try is:
- run the game
- dump the process (there are many ways, even Process Explorer can do it)
- run a file ripper (like HyperRipper of DragonUnpacker) on the dump file
