I'm trying to swap files in DOA5, or maybe even go as far as modding the characters in the game

the problem is the game developers have done there best to prevent this.
So I'm looking for people better educated in XEX disassembly and file compression.

First off we were able to extract an archive, decompress the files, and decrypt the XOR encryption. All thanks to the files being decompressed and un-encrypted in the 360s RAM :)

My fear however is that the decompression isn't being done correct, right now we're just using a general scanning tool that seeks out compressed blocks. we're finding that some decrypted files are off in random places through the file.
Also we have no method to re-compress at this time :(

A major problem right now, is that we can't swap files. example if a change a pointer in the archive file to read another location. it wont read the model at that location, the game just boots back to the dash with a dirty disc error.

I think the only way to take this further is if we can fully repack the archive files. Sadly I totally lack the skillset needed for this.

If anyone is interested please PM me, and I can provide you with more details on the current findings.

EDIT
The PS3 File looks encrypted, and I'm not experienced enough with the PS3 scene to guess as to what its encrypted by O_o

however I've been working on a xbox360 conversion package, maybe you can test it?

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/86746436/doa5_screenshot_convert.zip

Quick How To!

1.) Plug a USB storage device into your xbox360. Goto Storage and format the device as a usable xbox360 storage device.

2.) Copy all your screenshots from your HD to your USB Drive

3.) Unplug your USB Drive and Plug it into your PC

4.) Download "Party Buffalo" (http://digiex.net/attachments/downloads/download-center-2-0/xbox-360-content/apps-pc/7339d1315646678-party-buffalo-drive-explorer-2-0-0-9-download-xbox-360-fatx-hard-drive-usb-explorer-party-buffalo-drive-explorer-2.0.0.9.zip). Press CTRL+D to bring up the Device Selector. Your USB Drive should appear! if not then your USB is not properly formated, or PB is unable to obtain file access...

5.) Now navigate your USB pen to the following folder DATA\<YOUR PROFILE>\4B5607DA\00000001\

which should contain files like ALBUM_________________ ... copy these to your desktop or something

6.) Extract the Conversion package I provided uptop into its own folder. then copy your screenshot files into that folder.

7.) Double-Click on "_CONVERT.BAT" and tell me what happens...

I tried with 3 different screenshots. 2 of them were successfully converted into jpg files, the third one doesn't get converted.
Tried taking a screenshot but that windows disappears quite fast.

Here the file that doesn't want to get converted:

I didnt know how to mass convert PIR/CON/LIVE files, so I am using a py script to unpack them. the bat script does this, then passes it to my program to save as a BMP.

open your saved screenshot using a different PIR tool, and then just pass it through my program through commandline

example:
Dump_Screenshot_360.exe pirfile save.bmp

I have no idea what any of that means but just made an account to say that I had all 9 of my files convert fine and that you are awesome for making this.

That only worked for one file that didn't convert before, the others (converted and unconverted) are just 0kb bmp files. (Also, I'm not entirely sure what a pir tool is and where I would obtain such a thing)

OK, link updated, zip was 1mb is now 400kbs

I've removed the whole python thing.. this was quite stupid. now theres no PIR unpacking, the bat is alot cleaner, it just converts the PIR directly to BMP then the other exe will compress to JPG.

Please re-download and let me know if there are anymore problems

I tried converting 100 screenshots earlier and only 3 were unable to be converted so its got a pretty good ratio of successes/failures.

I need someone to kill the file checksum in the XEX

sooo close, but the game throws an error and boots you to the main menu after it reads the file
