These appear to be binaries, they look compressed but I cannot figure out the compression for them, can someone figure out the compression so I can properly view the files? Don't talk about the files from Paper Jam, they are different when decompressed. I tried manual decompression from other Nintendo modding tools and they outputted less data when decompressed.

UPDATE: LZ77 compressed in chunks

Usual lz77wii:

Code:

comtype lz77wii
get SIZE asize
clog "dump.dat" 0 SIZE SIZE

Thanks, I figured out the compression a while back but unfortunately tools only decompressed chunks...

The said script outputs the exact same data as the modding tools but there's definitely more chunks of content like strings and bytecode compressed in them, decompressing these files output singular smaller files as both the script and modding tools only decompress the first chunk, where it decompressed is fine but can the script be modified so all found lz77 chunks can be decompressed or do I have to rip them bit by bit? Thanks.

If there is no index table with the offset of the chunks there is nothing else I can do.

The chunks don't seem to be sequential otherwise it would have been simple to find them (because lz77wii has the compressed size in the header)

Dang, when I use CrystalTile2, it has an LZ77 scanner which I can modify to suit to detect LZ11 headers, so that can help I guess.
