Hi, I've been looking around numerous sites looking for a way to open some files from a game called "Brain-Dead 13", The game is almost exactly like Dragon's lair, and it was released on consoles and MS-Dos/Macintosh PCs only, I've been focused on two versions of the game specifically, the MS-Dos port, and the Playstation 1/PSX port, both of which have two very large files that end with the extension .OUT (ps1/psx), and .DAT (MS-Dos).

There's two discs for the PS1/PSX version of the game, but to put it simply, both files, are more than 500 MB in size, the game released in 1995-1996, and I know that a .DAT file is a universal file format or what have you, and the PS1/PSX version's .OUT file comes up blank when searched alongside any Playstation/PSX names.

I am simply doing this to see if it's possible, to poke around the files, maybe, look for anything unused- I really like this game and have been wondering what it looks like from the inside out.

Try this.
Will unpack the file as per the header of the file, but i don't think it would be useful, however, this is it.

Code:

# BrainDead 13 PS1 .OUT
# script for QuickBMS http://quickbms.aluigi.org
#LUKE
Goto 0

Get ENTRIES Long

For RIP = 1 To ENTRIES
GET LIXO LONG
Get OFFSET Long
Get SIZE Long

if OFFSET == 0x0000000 # "ONDINHA PROMOSSAUM PSN"
    break
     endif
    getdstring NAME 0x00
    if OFFSET != 0xffffffff
        log NAME OFFSET SIZE
    endif
Next RIP
