Decrypts and unpack files from GT7 archives
Bump, Gran Turismo 7 unpacker
e.g.:
unfortunately we don't have file names inside archive anymore (to locate entry inside archive they use fnv1a hash of its file path)... so you need to collect them during play or grab them from resources, e.g. compiled scripts
i'm doing that on pc entirely
Can't say I didn't want to peek at that GT7 VOL first, alas modern day jailbreaks and exploits are hard to come across, but it does give motivation to understand how those work
Based on flatz's code, the GT7 Volume system is version 3 (GT5P = 0x5B745161, 5/6/SP = 0x5B745162, 7 being 0x5B745163). It's still looks like a brand new volume system however, but it looks easier as-in, using generic crypto that older games already used.

Awhile back developer MrStPL-codes shared on Github a CatherineBmdExport utility to export the dialogue from Catherine: Full Body on PlayStation 4 among other platforms with an importer also in the works as detailed below.

Download: catherineBmdExport.rar (154 KB - includes catherineBmdExport.exe) / GIT

The game's title ID is CUSA14836 for Verified Members, and from the included README.md to quote: CatherineBmdExport

Tool for exporting dialogue from game Catherine for PC/PS3/PSV/PS4 etc.

The program could be better, but I don't have that much free time. The most important thing is that it works

I worked out the file structure myself. The program works 100% with the PC, PSVita and PS4 versions. (The tool has been tested on them, but is very likely to work on X360 and the rest).

The import tool will be available soon

It's already done but I need to add him support for Catherine Full Body (PSVita / PS4 ...)
