Hey man,

Yeah you're exactly right, we can either pull apart the exe ourselves, and try to find how to run it from the extracted dat files, or hope someone finds the way soon..., but yeah that's the only way. (I welcome being corrected as wrong on this, as it means we can edit this game too)

Long time since we spoke about it, but I have just found out how to edit the .exe's of any Lego game, in order to force it to load the extracted files from the main folder.

I just kinda followed the Force Awakens directions, but changed it a little, this guide is for the DX11 version.

Open the DX11.exe with a Hex Editor, and search for hex values "02 02 00 60 81" and it should give you a result around the start of the file, you want the 3 bytes before the searched value, (Example from Marvel Super Heroes 2's exe. "23 16 CC 02 02 00 60 81" so we want 23 16 CC, now because the data's meant to be backwards, it should read CC1623, now we need to add 31B4 to it, and you'll get CC47D7, so replace the 23 16 CC, with D7 47 CC.

Now the next value to search for is "01 00 00 74 0B B9 01 00 00 00" now you'll want to replace the value from "B9 01 00 00 00 XX XX XX XX XX XX" with "90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90" so if I use Marvel Super Heroes 2's exe as an example, it'd be "B9 01 00 00 00 E8 03 15 17 01 CC" then save, extract the dat files to your main game directory, and launch.
