There is what looks to be fairly comprehensive documentation at http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers/quickbms.txt, and you may be interested in some of the other resources linked from http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm as well.

Aah, that would be my bad, then (I must've misread your post). Trying Google in that case doesn't show anything obviously helpful, but the thought occurs to me that you might be able to download a copy of Windows 95 or 98 and get the file from there, assuming it's a standard system file in one or bo...

A quick Google search shows that as being Icon Extractor 2000 by Gregory Braun (note that the screenshot on the site is identical to the one you linked to). Cheers!

Aah, sorry about the silence, masterX244, I've had real-life distractions the past few months to the point I haven't been able to keep up with stuff online very well. The problem with the wiki is a known one that occurs when you try to edit any wiki page, and started when it was upgraded a few month...

At the risk of dispensing legal advice when I am in no way, shape, or form a lawyer (much less an expert on copyright and fair use law for whatever region you happen to reside in), I think that as long as you are not redistributing the game, and you are not charging money for the demo you're buildin...

That's supposed to be "Dark Alliance", right?

It's encoded in UTF-16, any text editor worth using should allow you to edit it without any problem (unless it has an extra non-text header of some kind).

Aah, you never said you were making these files for use on an Xbox. Thanks for the explanation.

If you don't mind my asking, why do you need the null long? Both of the values you're storing are always stored as longs themselves, so you shouldn't have any problem separating them.

Them locking down the Kinect 2 would be a huge mistake on their part, given the community that's built up around hacking on the Kinect (but it's not something I'd put beyond Microsoft to do, all things considered =/ ).

Convert it to hex, then it's just a hex triplet like you'd use in HTML/CSS. 14596867 is DEBB03 in hex, or this color.

Aah, it would have helped some if you'd mentioned the breadth of your experience in your OP. Knowing that, I would move to back brienj completely in saying your next step should probably be C/C++/ASM, or *something* that offers you more complete control over the machine. I'd also again suggest a str...

The only times you should worry about the language you use are if you're applying for a position that requires knowledge of a particular language, or if you're working on a project that the language you're using doesn't lend itself to. That is, using the right tool for the job and meeting employment...

I can fix that if you want; just looks like you have the "Banned" rank for some reason.

Can you decompress them in chunks? If so, there's no reason to do the whole file in one shot.
