Sure, we will take a look at it. Could you give us a small archive from the game to look at?
Thanks.

hey there.
There are 2 different Archives in the game.
One Folder called Audio that contains .xsb files.
The smallest file there is 1,84 kb big.
And the second Folder is called Chapters and contains .PAK files.
I think there must be Textures and stuff. The smallest file here is 25.8 Mb.
So i can upload a .xsb sample file but 25.8 mb is much too big i think.
Is there a way to split some files so you can work with just a part of it ?

This is a tool we created especially for this purpose.
It will cut the front end and back end of a file and zip it so you can email or attach it here.
Good luck!
Accessing Mafia DTA files
1. Introduction
As I often receive email from people that ask for information about the DTA files, because they want to code another DTA tool (like the often requested DTA-packer), I decided to write this document and provide anyone with all the information I gathered about DTA files.
This document completely describes the methods the MafiaDataXtractor uses to extract the content from the DTA files.
Please note that the information provided here is based on my personal inspection of the disassembled Mafia code, lengthy debugging sessions, logged function calls and pure guesses. It is in no way official and not confirmed to be correct, it just works for me. Some parts may be incorrect or just wrong. Therefore you should read this document with an open mind, and don’t take everything for granted that is written here (btw: that applies to all written things). If you find anything that is wrong, please let me know.
I expect that you know C and a little bit of x86-Assembler otherwise you wont understand all of this. Please don’t bug me with any questions regarding C and ASM.
But now, let’s get to the fun part…
2. The encryption keys
As you may have guessed on inspecting DTA files with your hex editor, the files are encrypted. In fact some of them are also compressed, but I haven’t dealt with the compression methods at all. To read from them you have to know two 32-bit keys which are different for (almost) every DTA file. Luckily I could find them quite easily while inspecting the disassembled GAME.EXE as they are stored there without any (serious) protection. These keys seem to be identical for every international version, as they all seem to use the same GAME.EXE, except the German version, but the keys of that version are identical nonetheless.
I provide the keys here for your reference:

3. Using the rw_data.dll
The easiest approach to the extraction problem is to use Mafias own DLL. This file is “rw_data.dllâ€
