NAMCO ALL-STARS - PAC-MAN .pak files
This archive is used in the game NAMCO ALL-STARS - PAC-MAN. Could someone help me unpack it? Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vxk3j5b39cqo6h5
Re: NAMCO ALL-STARS - PAC-MAN .pak files
I know I'm bumping a ten-year old thread... but I don't see that this one ever got resolved.
Just found this game... would like to be able to extract from the .pak archives here.

Hm, I've checked your samples and index seems to be encrypted in all files except "launcher_pm.pak":
I think I would be able to figure out encryption method and file format, but I need some time.

So I was able to do some research on Namco All-Stars Dig Dug, which has very similar encryption to this Pac-Man game.
File format looks like this http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/Namco_All-Stars_PAK
This archive type uses some kind of subtract encryption.
Here is my Python tool for data extraction:
https://github.com/bartlomiejduda/Tools ... PAK%20Tool
Usage is explained in the readme file on Github.
I've tested it on Dig Dug and it works fine, but it has some issues with other games. Apparently encryption method is not exactly the same for all games (or my tool just doesn't support all variants).
By the way, main Dig Dug executable can be packed with PECompact 2.98 packer. So to do some static analysis, it needs to be unpacked first (for example, with OllyDbg and some scripts and plugins).
