Howdy!

I'm writing a Linux tool to inspect / extract PSARC files, but I'm running into some of the same problems I see mentioned here; Seemingly corrupt chunks. (No zlib header 0x78da)

Can anyone shed some light on how these are handled in the Windows program? Is there a chance the source code will be released? :)

I have a sneaking suspicion that there are corrupt game files flying around. :-/

If anyone has an original disc of Uncharted 2 or MotorStorm: Pacific Rift lying around I'd appreciate it immensely if they could make a fresh backup (using whichever backup manager) and post the MD5 sums of all (or some) of the PSARC files so that I can compare them to mine.
