HDiffPatch [Also known as HDiffZ]

    Code:
    hdiffz-x64 -c-lzma2-9 -C-no <old file> <new file> <patch file>
    
    to make a patch
    Code:
    hpatchz-x64 <old file> <patch file> <newfile>
    
    to apply a patch to the old file, making a new file

Atelier PAK Decrypt
  • Utility to decrypt and unpack PAK files from the GUST engine.
  • Note that some of the Koei Tecmo games that use the encrypted GUST engine contain Japanese filenames. In this case, you can't just run the games extracted. Other games such as Atelier Ryza 2 can be run extracted because all file paths and names in the archives are in English.

    Example Usage:
    Code:
    a17_decrypt.exe <input pak file>
    
    a18_decrypt.exe <input pak file>

QuickBMS

TTGames BMS Script [Modified]
  • Modified version of TTGames BMS script by Luigi Auriemma for compatibility with some LEGO games that the public script struggles with.
  • You will still need a patched EXE to run the games in an extracted state. Older games do not need an EXE patch.
