Dragon UnPACKer
Description
This program allow you to open the game resource files in an explorer-like interface then extract the content at will.
More than 80 games are supported directly (check the List of supported games).
If the game is not supported, Dragon UnPACKer include a very useful tool named HyperRipper.
This tool searches for known patterns in unknown file formats. This allows to extract texture, sounds, music and more from unknown file formats!
Dragon UnPACKer is based on three (3) kind of plugins :
- Driver plugins: Allowing Dragon UnPACKer to natively/directly open file formats, if no driver plugin recognize the file your only hope is HyperRipper.
- Convert plugins: Permits conversion of custom/exotic file formats to common file formats (example: convert a RAW texture to a Windows Bitmap .BMP file)
- HyperRipper plugins: Search the patterns into files
You can usually update the plugins without upgrading to the new Dragon UnPACKer core program, but sometimes it is mandatory when new core features are needed.
Licence: Free and Open Source!
Dragon UnPACKer is free (as in beer and as in freedom) to use and the source code is available under the Mozilla Public License [MPL] v1.1.
Duppi: The online/offline updater
Dragon UnPACKer comes with an online/offline update utility named Duppi.
