[PC/PS2/Xbox] Street Racing Syndicate - archive.ar / CDFILES.DAT

Are there fixed alternative tools that can unpack archive.ar from Street Racing Syndicate? I tried Technyx but it failed:

C:\Users\asd\Downloads\Compressed\Technyx-v1.10.4-win64>echo off
   Extract CDFILES archive v1.10.2, Copyright (C) 2023-2025 Lukas Cone
   Simply drag'n'drop files/folders onto application or use as technyx_toolset cdfiles_extract [options] path1 path2 ...
Tool can detect and scan folders and uncompressed zip archives.
  Loading config: technyx_toolset.config
   [0x00000950] Processing: cdfiles.dat
  [0x00000950] Generating cache.
Press any key to continue . . .     0 files.
Total: ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿                                  36%

The filenames are included in CDFILES.dat.

Game Extractor maybe? It should support both ARCC and ARC0 files.

Game Extractor works for the PC version of archive.ar with filenames, but it doesn't work for PlayStation 2 or Xbox versions of archive.ar.

Pretty simple, I need some samples from the PS2 game "Big Mutha Truckers" because I also wanna have a look at other versions of the format

Sure.

added support for all variations & also .arc files

https://github.com/smiRaphi/UniPyX (https://github.com/smiRaphi/UniPyX/commit/22f7c92ebe3de40d15433797d2783db818c451e0)

One additional thing, I think SRS was also released on the gamecube and the header signature for those arc files are probably different so I'd need a sample to also support that

no clue, added support for the CDFILES.DAT+.AR files tho

https://github.com/smiRaphi/UniPyX/commit/4b9236c329d0f319b7b4d7dcd59f54976ee26efd

 

Edit: in case anyone else wants to take a look, search for "!= 0x4e" in the decompiled code for the ARC signature check function (I can't remember the function address at the top of my head)
