For me the .bra are a ofuscated zips, what we need is a zip2bra, the main .exe checks the files .bra and the crc of the .bra, i tried a simple method creating a zip and renamed to .bra of course didn't worked.

If you try to modify the main exe (to bypass the .bra check) it crashes, well, it crashed to me.

The bms doesn't worked for me to reimport data

Thank for giving advise Savege.

Just as you say, I rewrite the main .exe binary even a little, it crash.
So I'm trying replacing the contents of the file .bra.
In my opinion, the main .exe doesn't check the crc of the .bra, only existence of the files.

The bms written by AlphaTwentyThree work definitely the .bra files of the way of samurai 3.
& extract enormously many files about 5500.

It's difficult to re-compression the .bra `cause "ofuscated" compression.
