3D Frog Frenzy resource.dat file

Hi,

I'm trying to look inside the 3D Frog Frenzy "RESOURCE.DAT" file, however, a look with a hex viewer indicates some form of encryption. 3D Frog Frenzy is an awesome game, and for a small project I'm porting it to use JS/canvas, so it will run on new systems, but this file contains graphics, sounds, etc.


I've attempted to use a DreamKiller quickbms script to decrypt/extract the archive, but to no avail. I get the following


This lead me to think that the archive was either compressed (hence the zlib reference) or encrypted. I attempted using various zlib libraries to in/deflate the RESOURCE.DAT file, but all attempts failed.

I've seen a suggestion that the RESOURCE.DAT might be a hidden .cab file, but cabextract spits errors, and the headers aren't wrong. Because I can't use a known plaintext on the first several bytes compared to what they should be (so not RC4 or anything similar), I'm guessing that AES is (likely) used, or a similar function.

Binaries and data files are available on request, thanks.

I'm having the same problem. I own 3D Frog Frenzy, but the DAT file seems to be completely encrypted. Is it possible to maybe pull the files from memory while the game is running?
