This will contain repack function too?
It probably uses the same hash function for files, you'd have to build a custom file list for that game. I do have the PS3 version so I'll look at that.
Great. :) I'll try out on the X360 version.

Rick, judging the filenames of DAT files I presume you have the Multi6 edition. Right?
I'm curious if your tool will work for DAT files from Multi3 edition. Actually all of the DAT files from Multi3 edition are differ to Milti6, except a two (as far as I remember).

Ok, for example, i've used the previous script for quick bms for dead space 2 ps3 version. I've opened a random file and i've got that hex on the image. How exactly do i know from what offset to other offset the files from that folder are located?

I have built up a fairly complete list of files for Dante's Inferno (PS3), excluding sound files.

Yes, I think so. My copy is from EA's download service.

It's trivial to get file lists for the 'data' data files (ie, not sounds). That's not really an issue.

If you want, cut the file table header from each dat and upload them somewhere (16+(file count * 12) bytes from start of file), and I can check.

I'm not sure what you're asking here.

There are filenames, they are just not easy to get, currently my archive viewer can identify most of them by checking some header bytes in the file (looking for 03 00 00). They have an extension of '.exa.snu' (in Dead Space 2 at least).

Not to be rude but let the man some time to work on it, it must be very complex and he might have a life also :)
