Ben 10 Protector of Earth Compression Algorithm

[theclub654]

If anyone is still interested in this game i found the compression algorithm in the game code i just dont know how to reverse it. This game doesnt use encryption by the way

i found the compression algorithm in the game code

Oh, can you share with us?

open up ida or ghidra or ida and go to address 1973E8 and that is the decompression routine if you set a break point on pcsx2 debugger at that address you can literally see the game decompressing the .wad file in your face

If anyone is still interested in unpacking the compressed .wal file for ben 10 protector of earth this is the decompression routine as im not very good at reversing so maybe someone can give this a look and reverse it themselves i guess

Code: Select all
