PAK Archive (APk2 header) [Alfred Chicken PS1]

Post by adultswim »

Hey, i've been going around looking for programs in hopes of being able to open an old PS1 game's archive, all of which are in PAK, the sounds are in a strange BAV format but that's beside the point.

I've tried Winrar all the way to 7zip to multiple PAK-like explorers (even universal extractor) none worked, when opened in notepad++ it seems to act as any ordinary zip file would but with a strange header

That header is "APk2" and is lesser known to the naked eye.

I've attached an example file of what i'm trying to open, any help would be appreciated!

I don't have the compression algorithm.

The format has been fully figured out but without compression it's all useless.

What's the name of the game?
