As simple as this format may seem, there seem to be quite a lot of ".dat" formats out there, So I'm not sure what this one is. The following data I am posting comes from Pac-Man World 3 for the PC, Which: while made by Blitz Games, This format is entirely different. Any help would be appreciated as I really don't exactly know what I should do. Pac-Man World 2, It's predecessor also seems to use this format for it's PC port as well.

Hoping the data may have actual model formats that I can import.

Data?

It seems to be. I dunno what type of ".dat" file it would be though as there are multiple ones for different games, there are already about 10 different files for unpacking ".dat" on QuickBMS's main page but I'm not sure if this is one that exists or not.

I mean, where is the data sample file?

Extensions are totally useless in game extraction.

Oh yeah.... Sorry. I thought I had posted the file already but apparently not. ((Sorry for being dumb))

Here's the sample.

It seems a securom protected executable, probably it may contain some resources but it's not an archive.
I pass.

Ah... Thanks for looking anyway though.
