WRC Evo Tools

A set of tools for files found in WRC games developed by Evolution Studios on the PS2 platform.

Features

Currently, the tool can:

• Extract the contents of DVD.DAT and assign filenames to the extracted files based on the listed hash in DVD.BIN and the currently known filenames listed in src/filenames.hpp
• Hash filenames and look up names from hashes
• Build new DVD.DAT and DVD.BIN files from a input directory
• Import a single file back into DVD.DAT (if not larger than the original)

Planned features include:

• Solving the encryption/compression algorithm found in EVO container files.
• Full reimporting and rebuilding support for EVO data files.

Usage

.\evo_tools [cmd] [file|text]

Modes

• -hash [text]: Hash provided text using the custom hash found in the games.
• -name [hash]: Get filename from hash value.
• -udvd [DVD.BIN] [DVD.DAT] [out dir]: Extract DVD.DAT to a specified output directory.
• -rdvd [DVD.BIN] [DVD.DAT] [input dir]: Build new DVD files from a directory.
• -idvd [DVD.BIN] [DVD.DAT] [input file]: Reimport a file (cannot be bigger than original).
