ROM Hack Need help on opening certain file

[myanpezi]

I'm currently trying to open a DAT file from the romfs of Tekken 3D Prime Edition game specifically the GAME.DAT one. Is there a tool that can help me edit it?

Use a hex editor like HxDen to edit it, but for hex editing you need to know the addresses/values of the stuff you want to modify. Also, Kuriimu.

Read wrong, edited post...

what if i wanted to edit textures and stuff?

Edited my first post btw, but Kuriimu comes with tools for texture editing too and pretty much anything you might want for simple edits.

alright i'll try that out

Here's the Kuriimu thread in case you can't find it or something:

After download, go to file properties, remove the restrictions from the compressed archive you downloaded, THEN extract, otherwise it won't work.

Seems to freeze on me once i open the GAME.DAT file on kuriimu. Both of my systems freeze (gaming comp and tablet that i just bring everywhere)

I don't have the game, so I can't be sure, but what you are looking for may be in a different file and the one you are trying to open is encrypted or something. How did you get it? Did you unpack the .3ds ROM of the game for it? Tables and stuff should work without unpacking with Kuriimu for example, so I can't help much.

 

[myanpezi]

it's probably encrypted alright

How big is this game.dat file? it's possible that it's compressed, encrypted, or more likely, not supported yet since FTI has not interacted with that game or any of its files yet.

I know Kuriimu looks like magic but for every file that it can work with, we had to write specialized code to handle the file in the form of a plugin.

about 696MB (windows says so)

It is likely an archive that we have not written support for then.
