This is a simple command line application that extracts files from .dat archives for the Toradora Portable (PSP) Game.
Usage: in the windows command prompt...
app.exe -extract input.dat [output directory]
app.exe -extract [input directory] [output directory]
app.exe -rebuild [input directory] [output directory]
- -extract extraction mode for the application, extracting data from a dat file.
- -rebuild build mode for the application, packs a folder and the files inside of it into a dat file.
- [input directory] is the directory path on the disk where the .dat files for the game are stored. The application looks for any .dat files in this directory for extraction.
- [output directory] is the directory path on the disk where the extracted files for the .dat archive will be stored. When a dat file is extracted, there is a folder created in the output directory with the name of the dat file, and inside that folder all of the files inside the archive will be extracted here.
- More ressarch on the building mode. There is a quirk with my testing where some data archives that I extracted and rebuilt. Some offsets and overall data archive size aren't 1:1. There seems to be some additional byte padding that is going in the original data archive. If I can get some help correcting this you can make a pull request or get in contact, it would be much appreciated.
