Sonic world R8 Unpacker

Post by lllsondowlll »

Unpacker tool via aluigi
http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers/molebox2ext.zip

I've pulled the new master key which can be used with this tool to extract gamearchive.swarc

Master Key: BE5E0921BD63012CF968DFB671C65BED

Example of using the tool:

Code: Select all

"D:\Games\PC\Sonic World\Sonic World R8\molebox2ext.exe" "D:\Games\PC\Sonic World\Sonic World R8\GameArchive.swarc" "D:\Games\PC\Sonic World\Sonic World R8\Mods\GameArchive" BE5E0921BD63012CF968DFB671C65BED


Assuming there is a folder named GameArchive under mods, the contents of Gamearchive.swarc will extract to the D:\Games\PC\Sonic World\Sonic World R8\Mods\GameArchive folder.

Thank you sir,
I simply pulled the key using cheat engine and searched for ".swarc" to find and use it with your magnificent tool. Figured I would just document it since I know people had trouble with the process of finding keys after R6, or just didn't know how to obtain them.

Im sorry, how do I use this exactly? When I load the exe it instantly closes.

You have to use it from command-line or by creating a .bat file.

Some general info for people not used to the command-line:
