Hi I really want to know if I can decompress .z files with quickbms. The game that I want the files used to use .json files but now this use .z files and I can't decompress it with WinRAR or 7zip. I want to know if is it possible to get the text compressed in the .z file. Thank you here an example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1faale1faha7n ... log.z?dl=0

Z is the extension used by the files compressed with lzw in the very far past.
Obviously the file you provided is not one of those files.
Name of the game?

Hi, the name of the game is Just Dance Vitality School, the chinese Version of Just Dance Now, link here: justdance.163.com . The game has a paste renamed Setting, where it have files .json with text like these: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gbfelw0wz47w ... 4p03a?dl=0 but after a update the game changed these files to .z, and now they are smaller as well. Files of the paste setting after the update: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ozoz4ocnjgtk ... PhOZa?dl=0

To be honest I remind some files I checked in the past that had that 2* magic at the beginning but I don't remember if I made a script or I didn't work on them.
Maybe someone else has more information and would like to check these files.
