decompress xbb file from "Harvest Moon A new Beginning 3DS"?

[ChrisX930]

There's anothe Fileformat that I want to unpack/repack.
http://3dbrew.org/wiki/ARC
I've uploaded such a file

I also uploaded a Screenshot with much informations about this uploaded file.

Right now, there's only this viewer+exporter available for this file format, but not a unpacker/repacker or editor :/
It would be VERY useful if you can help me with this :>

thank you :>
Would be cool if you can work on a repacker
And for papa-files, We need to find a way to export ALL strings of every papa-file and a reencrypter or something to use the modified files.

EDIT: Extracting files works GREAT!

Here it is, i think that it does the trick.

Just drag and drop the extracted folder in the executable. Please note that it needs the _loading order file to exist and you can't change the number of files. Please take care with your original xbb file.

If you have the time, please confirm if it's all ok.

Exported all files of Msg.xbb, changed something with Hex-Editor in one pp-file, repacked Msg.xbb.

All works! Changed things are visible ingame
Now I need a pp-encrypter (decrypter that works on all files, not only msg)

Ok so I think I might have to respond:

ChrisX contacted me for making a XBB tool, PAPA tool and DARC tool.
I finished the XBB tool(just a lil' bug fix to do), currently working on PAPA and the DARC tool should be easy enough.

all those tools will support extraction, repacking and adding of new files also.

Just for lettin' ya know

Thanks a whole ton for the XBB extractor. It's been a huge boon in trying to modify Harvest Moon DS: Sunshine Islands. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the repacking is working as designed. The rom itself seems to not like the replaced XBB file at all. It's a pack of sprites, and the game simply doesn't render them (as if the files were missing). I haven't even modified any of the files in the folder, and the rom won't take it.

Basically all I did was unpack the xbb, immediately repack the xbb, then copy the file into the rom data. It looks like some of the headers before the data is different in the new xbb compared to the original, but I'll have to look up the xbb specifications to see what specifically got changed.

Alright guys, where are we at on this?

GovanifY, surely school (at least that was my assumption) can't have you that busy anymore now that the summer has started, no? Hopefully you can lend a hand now. right!?

Hmm.... What else could make this go by faster? Do you want me to pay you? I can totally pay you. Donations always make magic happen
