Its a new pac format, so the existing tools are unable to unpack it.
PACx403L

Tried:
HedgeTools - ERROR: Unknown or Unsupported PACx version.
sfpac.bms - this one: "PACx403L" 50 41 43 78 34 30 33 4c expected: "PACx301L" 50 41 43 78 33 30 31 4c
Switch Toolbox - Unable to read beyond the end of the stream.
My archive of models, audio, textures etc: <Link removed due to site policy> Google my username to find it.

You can, actually, if you use the development build of HedgeLib here:

As a followup for this games archive formats.
It has a folder called "texture_streaming" with ntsp extension archive files.
They have PSTN in the header, but I have not been able to find any tools or information on this format.

Here is the file format http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/Sonic_Frontiers_NTSP
Now you just need to find a way to parse it properly in Noesis :D

I have no clue how I did not find that when googling the format.

I've made a tool for the .ntsp files, check here in Sonic Frontiers folder (also read README for usage instructions): https://github.com/blueskythlikesclouds/SkythTools
I'll share format specification & source code later.
