I'll appreciate any help or guidance to unpack the "*.pak"-archives from "Lost Medallion".

When I run the script, I receive the following error: "invalid datatype longlong at line 16"

update to a newer quickbms.

argh, I wasn't fast enough to login to beat you in the reply :)
anyway, yes, when quickbms reports these types of errors is EVER needed to verify if there is a newer version available because 99% of times that's the cause

@aluigi: i'm curious how you guessed the xor key - i can only guess the developers have made other games using it too?

[aluigi]

when you open the sample file with a hex editor you can see various "SPECIALBIT" strings which are just the key xored with the space char.

How about this game Haunted Hotel: Lonely Dream?
It seems the xor key has benn changed.
Anyone can help me to extract the .pak file?
Thanks very much.

a sample can be download here
