Hello. I'm trying to explore the Tradewinds games and while I have no problem extracting 1-3, I have a problem with 4-5 (Caravans/Odyssey) because they use a special .PAK archive. From googling around, it seems like each PAK has their own unique compression, because Cake Mania uses this type of archive as well.. I'm not sure how to go about it, but wanted to ask how to go about extracting these specific ones, because the Cake Mania ones don't work and tinkering around isn't getting me anywhere.

I tried to modify the cake mania main street BMS file and this part is what confused me:

Code:

  set EAX0 long 0x2aabafef     # eax[0] = 0x00d1f1f5;
    set EAX1 long 0x030e8535     # eax[1] = 0x0052f8ab;
    set EAX2 long 0x2eaa5841     # eax[2] = 0x02222115;
    set EAX3 long 0x14cca08f     # eax[3] = 0x04bd4f83;
    set ECX0 long 0x000141b0     # ecx[0] = 0x000141b0;
    set ECX1 long 0x0094c164     # ecx[1] = 0x008271e4;
    

If anyone can help getting me to the right direction, thank you.

Here are the paks
