I extracted a PSP.DAT file out of KZ:Liberation UMD, which is 500Mb so all data is obviously there.
How can I rip off some files from there? There's plenty of filenames at beginning when viewing it with hex editor.
I really want that helghast soldier model. He looks so cool. :cool:
Edit: Nothing found with google, dogpile and other search engines.
So maybe if I'd write a program to read that file would be the only solution?
this is a shot in the dark
rename it to .zip
maybe you can extract the stuff like that lol, it prob wont work...but hell worth a shot!
I tried renaming it to some other archive types:Maybe I should try other formats too? Suggestions?
- .zip: Very long loading time and finally an error message
- .rar: No errors, but it showed up as empty (no any files)
- .tar.gz: Error
- .iso: Error
- .jar: Error, again.
- .lzma: Shows one file in it, "PSP", and when extracting, error.
- .cab: Error
Don't you think making an all new archive format just for a PSP games is waste of time, when they could just have used any of the existing ones?
But the original Killzone 1 for PS2 actually has similar DAT files in it. Maybe they really did make a new archive type?
Maybe some other guerrilla games use same file format?
Maybe this "mini-killzone" is built on modified KZ1 engine?
try getting a program called
iso buster
maybe it will extract files from the .DAT?
IsoBuster says:
But I use Ubuntu and I ran it trough wine. Maybe that's the problem? Could you try it on your windows installation? Pleeaase?Quote:
A filename cannot contain any of the following characters:
/ : < >
Try renaming it to .7z and open it with 7zip.or rename it to bin or maybe cab
Doesn't work. The file format isn't probably any zip or iso we could read with public tools.
And I think isobuster gives that error because windows uses \ for directories, while Linux/Unix uses /.
have u tried renaming it to ISO and opening it with UMDGEN?since it came out of an iso...i will look for a program to open dat files...
Shit, again this stupid filename error. Could somebody try on his Windows machine? Wine (runs windows apps under Linux) can't run UMDGen properly.
I installed WinXP in a virtual machine (in Ubuntu) and got IsoBuster working ok. Isobuster says there are ~850 xml files in the DAT. But it doesn't let me extract or view them, "this thing is only for registered!". I'll try again with a cracked isobuster. (wtf? xml files?) Edit: And UMDGen couldn't open the file at all.
