[3DS] .xs file formats from Layton games

[smiler]

Could I get some help with ungarbling .xs file formats? It would be greatly appreciated. I've attached some sample .xs files.

PLvsAA.7z

MM.7z

AL.7z

I have seen that there was something on gbatemp too but without updates:

The data seem weird like if they are compressed but no Nintendo compression was used apparently.

Ah, so does this mean it'll stay a mystery for a while?

Definitely yes.
But if you will have news, feel free to keep us update.

Oh, the 1.0.8 version of Kuriimu can open .xs files, but I'd still like it in a readable format (i.e. one you can open in notepad just fine). But it might be enough.

That's an interesting news. I'm not sure if the algrogithms used there (Level5) are unknown because the method seems very similar to Nintendo lz77wii, here there is a 32bit field in which 3 bits are used for specifying the compression type (some available) and the remaining 29 for the uncompressed size.

Interesting, though Level-5 has exceedingly annoying compressed formats for almost everything under the sun. There's still a few formats here and there that are a complete unknown, such as .xc (XPCK) and .xq (XQ32) and other smaller stuff, and the former which I have successfully outputted a number of files, but not sure what to do with them, since they seem to be 3D model data.
