Ryusui is right. They get even bigger than that. Games like Dragon Quest IV and FF IV are about 100 MB. >.>

try those codecs:
4bpp linear, reversed-order
8bpp linear
and, try searching in 1-Dimensional or 2-Dimensional, in both codecs.
if you don't find anything, there's probably compression inside.
btw, what's the rom size? 16mb?
i searched in 1-D and 2-D for all codecs and got nothing. and yes, the ROM is 16 MB (it's quite a simple game) so i suppose there is compression. which program should i use to decompress it? |

as you said before: 2. hmm, well, the strange thing about this ROM is that there are no directories. also, the only file types other than .txt and .dat are .pkg (not sure what this is) and .sdat (sound data), so i don't know what to do... this makes me suspect that this rom has few files, and that graphical contents of this rom is inside these .PKG files (PKG = Package). this extension remembers me some PC games that storage its data in PKG files too. just dunno if they do storage in a similar way that this DS game does. may be easy to deal with it, or not. how many files of .pkg type you've found? only one or more? and if there's only one, what's the size of this file? at least is it bigger than 1mb? |

there's only one .pkg file, and it's ~46 KB

Why don't you give us an itemized list of what's in the ROM? Filenames, extensions, directory structure and all.

Ah-ha. Turns out there is a Zorori DS game, vintage 2006. So that's what you're working on.
Now, the .txt files contain the game's script, right? Try cracking open the .dat files in Tile Molester and see if you get anywhere.

Well obviously the script is located in scriptpack.dat, open that in a hex editor and hope it isn't compressed

haha, yeah...that's what i'm working on. yes, it seems the .txt files contain the script, but i can't seem to find anything when i view the .dat files in all codecs and both 1-D and 2-D  Well obviously the script is located in scriptpack.dat, open that in a hex editor and hope it isn't compressed
most of the script seems to be located in the .txt files, though. but honestly, i don't know since i can't view the contents of scriptpack.dat with windhex or tile molester  \ |
