Unpacking error. all files unpacked are corrupted!

Post by S_Cost »

Hi

I have successfully unpacked this pfs file. However, all the extracted files are corrupted.

Images aren't open and txt files are broken. So I suspected the original pfs, but there was no problem.

I used the norn9.bms in the unpacking procedure. Why did this happen?

Can somebody help me?? Thank you.

It's normal because these files (norn/amnesia) are all encrypted with a 16 bytes xor password and the algorithm for generating it is unknown.
So the script "tries" to guess the password and it displays a message at the beginning of the process if that fails.
That's what happened with that archive.
The files are extracted with a zero password for further analysis in case someone is interested.
