oh so you basically translate asm->lua by hand?

Couldn't you share the howto to actually decompile those files?

here's an example for the standard psp

you need to write yourself a program to do that (or a BMS script) but note that there won't be any filename or directories so if you're looking for something in particular...well, good luck with that

it's not custom, it's raw (headerless) gzip

that file is just a container for one file after another, there absolutely no info inside

no are stored inside BOOT.BIN (or EBOOT.BIN after it's been decrypted), dunno the offset though, I'm not at home. Just look for the total dimension of the .fpb file (inverted) inside that and you will find the last pointer, just go up and you'll notice a pattern

the file itself is useless, pointers are inside the executable

the files are definitely compressed, I compared ram and some text, it's LZsomething.

at those address there's nothing useful, it's probably something that has to do with the fonts, just that

no it won't, the compression is not applied to the whole file but to every each subfile, that's why we need to understand how are they disposed. For it's nature the LZ algorythms need the Compressed Length and the Decompressed Length to be passed, so those 2 values need to be there somehwere

What do you usually expect when looking for pointers? when looking in 01editor(the program I use) it's hard to distinguish between int/string/unicode and real pointers isn't it?? also can't they be encrypted as well or it's not technically possible to encrypt such info? (sorry for the not-so-smart ...

With executable, yes, I meant the EBOOT. In many games pointers to the big archives are inside there but while waiting I took it myself and I think that there's nothing useful in there. So far I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I recognized the compression, it's probably LZSS with ...

at a first look I can't see anything useful inside here. Can you provide the (unencrypted) executable or some other smaller file inside the iso?

how did you exported/imported it as tga?

lol sorry. I got confused becase the CAB header is MSCF and plus because the tales of in the wii/gamecube versions uses that compression
