Interesting .pak files in a Wii rom

Post by 23hearts »

Hey! I was going through a Wii ROM trying to see if there are any resources to extract when I ran into a .pak format that I couldn't find any information about.

The file has pak0.pak as name, but nothing in common with Quake, the game is My Fitness Coach :)
There are several other files with same extension as well, all have the same signature: "MRQZ", some data, then list of filenames, then file contents in the same order.

I went through QuickBSM scripts but none match this signature. Would anyone be kind enough to investigate?

idstring "MRQZ"
get TOTAL_SZ long
goto 0xc
get FILES long
get TOTAL_DATA_SZ long
xmath BASE_OFF "(TOTAL_SZ + 8) - TOTAL_DATA_SZ"
get FOLDER basename
goto 0x88
for i = 0 < FILES
	getdstring NAME 0x40
	get OFFSET long
	math OFFSET + BASE_OFF
	get SIZE long
	get UNK long
	savepos TMP
	string NAME p= "%s\%s" FOLDER NAME
	log NAME OFFSET SIZE
	goto TMP

That's amazingly fast! Thank you!

I gathered samples of .pak files from several different folders, is this enough useful samples?
