Pretty simple? Doesn't this old version of Themida/Xtreme Protector use an aggressive ring0 driver?
And what about some tools identifying Xtreme Protector (though that one section is named Themida)?
Are both protections used?

Well if it's encrypted it's a good way to disassemble the main exe and investigate the algorithm.

this is not encrypted. those files are somehow encoded differently. Strangely there's no common format, cokked xls txt and xml files all have different formats. But compare a cooked xls with a normal one (e.g. the install strings table) EDIT: Here's the unpacked version of "Hellgate: London Pat...

Hmm no magic identifier, no directory(at least no file names), gives us several possibilities: 1. there's another file containing the directory (normally with the same name but a different extension) 2. the file or at least the directory is encrypted and/or compressed 3. it uses a hash table instead...

just zip it. zip is allowed.

Upload sample files if it is not supported yet.

So take some sample files and upload them here.

Well you need to provide some extracted sample files

Thank you. Will try to complete it next week.

Should be easy to write a BMS script for that game: http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/The_Outforce_BOX

You need to pass them via command line, you can't type them into the window. create a shortcut to the exe and edit the target (adding the correct options)

i don't know any good ps2 debugger out there, so it's hard to get the algorithm out of the executable. You may try to disassemble the exe, with some luck you find something.

Thanks a lot for the replies, but I'm afraid your program doesn't really work with me. When I open sx.exe, I see a flickering black box. (Like a MS-DOS/command-line-thing) I see the program for about a tenth of a second and then it disappears. That's not good, I guess? This is a command line tool, ...

hmm sdt was sound archive format for Dungeon Keeper 2
Have you looked if the game uses common EA formats?
