[Nintendo 3DS] .arc - Archive (DARC-Header) repacker?
Hey Guys,
Right now, I want to modify a Nintendo 3DS Game (https://gbatemp.net/threads/harvest-moo ... xt.382612/).
I'm able to modify all code-based scripts and music.
But to customize the game completely, I need a way to repack this .arc-files and xbb-files (viewtopic.php?f=21&t=12649&start=15).
And there are some .arc-files which I can open with EveryFileExplorer, a program that allows viewing the files in the archive.
And now I want to know: is there a way to unpack and repack .arc files or possibly, create new .arc files with own files inside of it.
FILE FORMAT: http://3dbrew.org/wiki/ARC
I've uploaded such a file
I also uploaded a Screenshot with much informations about this uploaded file.

Right now, there's only this viewer+exporter available for this file format, but not a unpacker/repacker or editor :/
It would be VERY useful if you can help me with this :>

Thank you Mr.Mouse 
Now I understand this format a bit more
I hope I find someone who could write a standalone executable which is able to repack this file format.
I'Ve uploaded a image which shows all files and folders in this file.

/bump it again
I really want to modify these files, but there's no tool for it yet :/
I will pay 5€ for a working tool and 10€ more if you can make me a Tool to extract/rebuild xbb-files + a pp-file editor (the files inside of the xbb-files).
I know... it's not very much. I'm only a student with a small Income :/

You can bump all you want, but I do not think it will help. I reckon it's costing too much time for those who could help out. Perhaps
GovanifY can still be of help, when he does get the time.

Why such a hurry, ChrisX930? Do you have a deadline or something?
