How to extract image files from a .pck [Kishin Houkou Demonbane]

Post by AstralSword »

I will thank anyone who stop by to answer beforehand.

I am translating a PC game to my mother tongue, and there was a PS2 version of it, which had a lot of graphic effects, new cgs, video files, etc.

The idea is to extract everything that looks better in the PS2 version and port it into the PC one.

The game is "Kishin Houkou Demonbane"

While I managed to extract the effects and videos (since they were encrypted in .afs format) I could not extract the cgs contained in the IMAGE.pck file.

I actually managed to open it using Dragon UnPacker, but all I got was 2427 thumbnails of 120x80 px each.

The cgs should be at least 800x600.

Can anyone help me on this one? I can upload the file if it is really needed, but keep in mind it has almost 700mb.

Use the filecutter script for quickbms on the big file and upload the 2 generated files:

.........It worked. It worked!

After a week of suffering I was able to get my hands into this thanks to you!

You, sir, are a god amongst men.

You will get credit in this, I assure you.

Now back to work/script editing! Thank you once more!

I attached a sample of a semi-spoiler scene, but oh well. Just for the fun of it haha
