ps2 Shin Combat Choro Q (Japan) (.CPK)

[BrunoElias2024]

It's not your typical .CPK file. I've tried several programs like CriPak, Game Graphic Studio, UniExtract, and even BMS scripts.

Looking at the hex data, you can see that there is a chunk at the beginning containing a lot of data that I cannot read (Image 1), followed by a cut and then what appears to be a .PBL header (Image 2)

I think that it contains several PAK files inside. Using publicly available programs on GitHub, I was able to obtain the names of some of the game's assets. It appears to use a similar structure to other Choro Q games.

First uint32 Unk, next uint32 Count, following offsets "uint16" multiplied by 2048 which gives you absolute offset. Not sure why they are repeating.
