Ecan Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Hey, I was wondering if anyone here had any tools to be able to unpack and/or repack the .pak archives that contain the data of the original White Album? To Heart 2 also uses .pak's and I would assume they're the same or similar. I know people have gotten into those files. My knowledge isn't nearly good enough at the moment to be able to do this myself. If anyone has the tools to extract Leaf's .pak archives, then I would be grateful if you could pass them on to me.

Kirashi Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 all pak files are different and there are no universal tools for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecan Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Yeah, I know. That's why I'm asking if anyone has the tools for old Leaf games. There's a chance that the tools used for To Heart 2 could work on White Album. Edited August 6, 2023 by Ecan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisulizer Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Try AE-VN tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecan Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 @Sisulizer Incredibly cool program and does work on White Album 2 and To Heart 2. But unfortunately WA1 doesn't want to cooperate. Thank you for telling about AE-VN tho, it's a really useful tool regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisulizer Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 What about GARbro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sim22x Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 GARbro doesn't work I wanted to translate the game into another language, but I still couldn't get the archives to unzip for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you manage to unzip the archive using the AE tool for White Album 2? My version 0.6.11.421 could not extract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sim22x Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) arc_unpacker can unpack the files for the 1998 White Album. Most likely it works with the Japanese version of the game. { dev: 'Leaf', date: '1998-05-01', title: 'White Album', title_orig: 'ホワイトアルバム', vndb: 236, args: ['--dec=leaf/pak1 --pak-version=2']}, Edited August 10, 2023 by sim22x Emi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecan Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 GARbro actually worked for me! but now the challenge has become trying to open and change the .gad files in the archives. .grp files are images and .c16 are some type of companion to them I believe. The .gad's are the most likely to have contain the scripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
