Possible to extract unopenable PAK files on Android without a PC?

Post by LolHacksRule »

I would like to extract the PAK files from my game but to extract them I need something that can run QuickBMS, I know it's possible with one that can run QuickBMS but is it possible to use my mobile device alone for extracting the PAKs? Thanks so much.

As far as i know, there isn't no .cmd on Android.

Link me the .bms + the files and i'll extract them for you.

I already have them extracted on my PC at home, not on a cloud source sadly... The PAKs I want to open on it are Exient XGSPAKs (v2).

Are you talking about a command prompt? There are multiple. You only need to make sure the linux binary is compatible (ie. does not rely on unavailable libraries), install any one of the "terminal emulator" apps, and it will work without issue.

Oh ok. Hmm... I don't have root, is that an issue? Also what command is used to run it?

Use termux on android

pkg install qemu-user-i386
and chmod +x quickbms

qemu-i386 ./quickbms unreal_tournament.4.bms yourfile.pak

As far as I know qemu requires root, it can be installed but it will not work (there was a mention in an older topic).
quickbms can be compiled natively on android on termux via "make" but still this is a job for PC where everything is much easier and there are no problems compiling.
