From the Bejeweled 3 for Nintendo DS ROM, I found a strange archive Glob.bin, with an unusual compression. Take a look on how to extract the files and preferably recompress them. Thank you.

I don't think there is any compression involved, being Nintendo stuff usually their compression is just the usual lz77wii.
This is the extraction script:

Code:

get OFFSET long
xmath FILES "(OFFSET / 4) - 1"
for i = 1 <= FILES
    get NEXT_OFF long
    xmath SIZE "NEXT_OFF - OFFSET"
    log "" OFFSET SIZE
    math OFFSET = NEXT_OFF
next i

I hope getting a bunch of 000123.dat files is normal then. Only the .100 file seems to contain actual data, which may look like the filenames, but anyways to me it looks like some compression, other than nintendo's one, because those files in current state don't seem like something usable in the game (or i am just inexperienced with Nintendo's game files). Some file info is in the rom, it may help. Thanks.

Old rebump but there's this plugin for Tinke that helps you open these files and also get most of the names in the filesystem. It's lost but archived luckily (and probably old).
