RBVR files extracting from wrong offset

PikminGuts92 opened this issue · 3 comments

Unfortunately, main_pc_1.ark is 60 bytes larger on-disk than internally stated from the HDR file. Therefore, files inside main_pc_2.ark and above are being extracted from the wrong offset.

I'm looking into it. It's a lot more complicated than that. RBVR files can be optionally "protected". The last 32 bytes identify the file as a protected file. Offset -36 from the file end has the size of the protection metadata. It's a simple streaming cipher so a simple decryption wrapper stream class similar to HdrCryptStream should do the trick.

Wow. It was a lot simpler than I thought. Will make a commit soon. Some very surprising stuff lives in main_pc_1.ark...

A note for future reference: "Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite" uses the exact same file protection scheme as RBVR. It's unclear if this is middleware used by both studios or a weird case of ineffective-encryption plagiarism. Here are some strings for SEO:
