Working on Metroid: Other M
#3
DAY 3. So far, progress!

I used a hex editor (HxD specifically) to methodically look at most of the unnamed files, hoping to find some sort of text strings that would lead me to new info. Found some of the later ones (4240 onwards) have certain strings such as "SNDPAK", "SE", and "RSAR" in them, which is very promising! Will update again if I manage to crack into them.

UPDATE 1: So it seems like they are indeed .brsar files. They have the "RSAR", "SYMB", and "INFO" strings in ascii, just like it says on the tockdom site http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/BRSAR_(File_Format). However, BrawlBox can't open them. They might be encrypted. Any ideas?

UPDATE 2: I straight-up deleted the "SNDPAK" header that came before the "RSAR" header and the files became accessible! *hacker voice* I'm in. RippingMama and foobar get them to .wavs pretty easily. Now I just have to figure out how to mass convert the unnamed files to .BRSARs so it doesn't take forever... there are about 400 to pick apart.
Here are links to my stuff:
