Hello, I have a question about the MIX encryption algorithms of Lands Of Lore 2.
Anyone knows the method of decrypting MIX files so that you can choose textures, etc., resources.
I would like to ask for any help in this regard.

The first thing I did was, of course, I used the Luigi program What came out of the exe file I am sure that the encryption algorithm is blowfish.cpp I found such info in the exe file.
