Love and Berry: Dress Up and Dance! NAOMI2 File Formats

I actually posted something related to this at somewhere else (not here) several years back but I didn't get a response. I thought I should give it a go again since it's been quite a long time... I'm going to share the whole image file that I converted from the chd file, and it has several file formats that may or may not be known such as .FC (used for models and textures). What I'm most keen about is the "osm_3_eng_v1002.bin" file (most of the assets are in there), though it is encrypted sadly.
Is anyone able to look into this and help? If possible, models/textures in a file format that can be easily imported or opened with software would be great.
Thanks!
I've included a separate .bin file if you're just looking into that.

So you're in luck. This time I will share a file format research results with you.
Here is the wiki article about
FC format
http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/Love_a ... _Dance!_FC
This is just a container for
PVR and
NJ files. You can extract files with this script
https://github.com/bartlomiejduda/Tools ... script.bms
You can use it with quickbms

Here are also articles for PVR images and NJ models:
http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/PVR_Image
http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/Ninja_Model_NJ
Both formats are natively supported by
Noesis.

So you can use it to view models and textures:

As for ADX files, they are CRI ADX 4-bit ADPCM audio. You can use foobar2000 with vgmstream plugin to play them.

Thank you! What about the .bin file? Would it be possible to decrypt or extract the contents?

No, sorry, it seems to be too complicated to figure out without debugging the game.
This BIN file is still a mystery to me.

That's alright. Thank you for your help. I couldn't find any strings that suggests a folder or file name in HxD so it's likely heavily encrypted. All I know about the .bin file is it contains models, graphics, and sounds (possibly scripts too but who knows) when I open the game in DEMUL with Cheat Engine on. It doesn't reveal the entire list of contents since it looks like it only displayed the important assets in the memory editor. The other sound files are listed in order of AXXXXX.adx.
The previous versions of the game (1st-2nd Collection), stored as IC files, displayed almost an entire list of the files as shown in the C.E memory editor. Common extensions are .pvr and .adx. These files haven't been cracked yet and I don't think anyone can extract it out from IC for the time being?

I was wondering if it's possible to extract the contents of the earlier versions (1st-2nd collection). They're IC files (nameless extension). They have some readable strings like file names when I open it up with HxD editor.

Can you upload a few samples of the IC files to some hosting site like mega.nz, google drive etc. and then share a public link here?

There's two versions of it but there isn't any major difference when played with DEMUL Emulator except the build version is different. I believe one of the other files have several ICs (I assume that version has contents split into parts).

A user messaged me that the enceypted bin might be possible to decrypt with the help of dump file (though task manager) but I'm not sure what to do with the file since I don't understand how it may help?

Thanks to memory dumping, I've only ripped a bit of data that were inside of the encrypted and unsolved BIN file. Other file formats with signatures like NJCM (.njm) and NCAM (.???) are present but there is one file that may hold the game script data? It has a signature of SAN 8 and has mentions of "DATA" string.
Here are a few samples of the unknown file format in both compressed (FC) and uncompressed state (set as BIN):

I wonder if these unknown files are actually the strings and it would be cool to fish out unused strings or CODE39 barcodes.

The "SAN 8" signature file could possibly be a file archive or a custom graphic file format since all fourteen of the SAN files are stored in the TEX_2D folder. They're in .SAN. DATA could probably be graphic information?
And it seems that there's no way to get the BIN files of the arcade games based on NAOMI open with any CD mounting software as far as I've surfed through the Internet. I have to manually extract the file data by creating file or make a script to dump the files.
