Project Grabbed

A collection of reverse engineering efforts to explore and extract files from Grabbed by the Ghoulies.

The source files were originally written as part of a remake of the original Xbox game, and this repo is a subset of files from that app.

Supported Files

Over the years I have researched other games developed by Rare, covering their titles on Xbox and Xbox360.

Game	Platform	Version	Formats
Grabbed by the Ghoulies (demo)	Xbox	n/a	localisation, audio, fonts, textures
Grabbed by the Ghoulies	Xbox	n/a	localisation, audio, fonts, textures
Kameo: Elements of Power (alpha)	Xbox	`CAFF24.09.03.0026`	textures
Conker: Live & Reloaded (demo)	Xbox	`CAFF24.09.03.0026`	textures
Conker: Live & Reloaded	Xbox	`CAFF28.01.05.0031`	textures
Kameo: Elements of Power	Xbox360	`CAFF28.01.05.0031`	localisation
Perfect Dark Zero	Xbox360	`CAFF28.01.05.0031`	localisation
Viva Piñata	PC/Xbox360	`CAFF07.08.06.0036`	localisation
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts	Xbox360	`CAFF07.08.06.0036`	localisation
1 vs. 100	Xbox360	`CAFF07.08.06.0036`	textures (bin), resources (xzp)
Jetpac Refuelled	Xbox360	n/a	localisation

Note that although 1 vs. 100 was not developed by Rare, it uses a very similar CAFF format

The source is split into shared libraries (.lib) files that link with one of the tools. A rough structure is:

scripts - directory for GENie project generation (https://github.com/bkaradzic/GENie)
src/external - gitmodule dependencies live here
src/base - provides shared file streaming, endian helper, zlib utilities, etc

The shared libraries for games are here too:

(see the table above for the full list of supported games)

The main apps are stored in src/tools

src/tools/hashlookup - reverse hash lookup for Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Kameo, and Pinata
src/tools/demandinfo - loose bundle extractor for Grabbed by the Ghoulies

(there are various here)
