Got my hands on Mario Party 10's other files, it's a pretty simple archive format. Expect a tool to extract and possibly repack in the next week or so (finals week.... >.>).
Here's the format I have down if anyone wants it, took about 40 minutes:
0x00 - PAC. (50 41 43 00)
0x04 - always 0x20 - offset to second header ????
0x08 - 0
0x0C - Offset to GZIP-compressed data
0x10 - seems to be offset to a little bit after end of GZIP (meaning bit of padding) - read until?
0x14 - Total number of folders
0x18 - Total number of files
0x20 - All folders seem to contain same number of files ???? this is same number
0x24-0x34 - padding
0x34 - Offset to Folder Metadata
0x38 - Offset to File Metadata
0x3C - Offset to String section
0x40 - Offset to GZIP-compressed data
0x44-0x80 - padding
Folder Entry: (always starts at 0x80)
0x00 - String Offset
0x04 - Hash?
0x08 - Number of files
0x0C - First file offset (to read forward)
File Entry:
0x00 - String Offset
0x04 - Hash?
0x08 - String Offset to file extension (EG: ".gtx")
0x0C - ???
0x10 - Offset to GZIP compressed section
0x14 - ???
0x18 - GZIP compressed data size
0x1C - GZIP compressed data size again
0x20 - 0
0x24 - 0
0x28 - 1 (number of files?)
0x2C - 0
String section:
Always padded to 0x10, just ASCII with 0x00 seperators, read until you hit one.
I've looked at those files in Mario Party 10 too. From what I had learned, it looks like you've understood that format perfectly. I've already been adding this to Uwizard just as a side project, but your documentation will help it go a lot faster! Thanks!
NWPlayer123, can you try check Super Smash Bros U and find something about RYU (stage,songs) and find something new?
On 3DS Version found Ryu and Roy after update 1.06 (stage and songs), try check Wiiu Version.
I have a question,
It's wrote on the first page that it's safe to update to 5.3.2, but it's also wrote that the webkit exploit is patched.
So, I assume there will be some others exploits in the corner?
In fact, I want to update Mario kart 8 for the 200cc, but I think it will update the firmware of the wii u to?
High, considering you're the second person to ask about it It's not out in NA yet is the problem, if it's not out by release then you can probably find someone in Japan with a copy and ask them for it.
