very hard question

[Narfy]

Ive been working for months and months to try to find a way to unpack this file, but no luck.

If you found a way to unpack, please send me the code

If you unpack it correctly, there is a file inside called hello.txt with the text inside containing the work "Hi"

The file is inside of the zip file

Try Googling pbo file format.

[Narfy]

i have, no usefull information

[TheVader]

Did you check this site?

[RhinoBull]

Yea, that's what I have as well:
http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=PBO
http://www.elberethzone.net/index.ph...ge=en#download

I also tried to open your file but UnPacker tells that the file is empty. Sorry, Narfy.

BTW, those links are results of GOOGLE search:

Maybe it is.

[Narfy]

yes, ive tried all those links with no luck.

no its not empty

is there anyway to figure out how to unpack it by hex editing the file? or is that impossible?

[BuggyProgrammer]

Well... just looking at it it looks like a file called Hello.txt has the contents of

hi

in it.

In other words, it's nothing really. So you don't need to open it anymore .

[Narfy]

huh? so you found a way to unpack it?

[BuggyProgrammer]

no... I looked at it in notepad.

[Narfy]

thanks, but im tring to figure out how to unpack it

[BuggyProgrammer]

Unpack it for what? You already know it is a file with the contents of

hi

do you really need to unpack it to know that it really says hi?

[Narfy]

because it could contain more "complicated" files inside of it that may not beable to be read by using notepad, like it can contain images and such.

[BuggyProgrammer]

you kidding me...the file is 104 bytes. It can't hold anything else.

[Narfy]

heres a pbo file that has a 256x256 black jpg with white writing that says hi and a smilie face

[BuggyProgrammer]

how do you actually know what it contains? Do you have some kind of program that can read this?

[Narfy]

on the properties, i have everything unchecked except for the resistance pbo check box

I'm beginning to think you want to extract files with code though?

[Narfy]

yes i am

[BuggyProgrammer]

Now that we actually know what the thing is for.....

go to http://svd.s20.xrea.com/x/tools.html and download DePBO ver1

[Narfy]

i already have a thing to unpack it, i want to unpack it using visual basic

[BuggyProgrammer]

have you tried emailing the writers of the program and asking them for code? you should try that. or just asking them what the structure is and how it is compressed.

[Narfy]

yes i have and they have anyways said "no" or "I dont have the source code, i deleted it"

As i said, ive been working on this for months and ive tried about everything i can think of.
