Jupiter Corporation 3DS games (IdxRes .dat)

[SonofUgly]

Issue: plugin request Console: 3DS Format extension(s): .dat Type: text Game Name: Jupiter Corporation 3DS games:

• ピクトロジカ ファイナルファンタジー [Pictlogica Final Fantasy]
• Picross e Series
• Club Nintendo Picross - unused
• Club Nintendo Picross Plus
• Doraemon and Nobita Number Adventure
• Probably more...

First 8 byte of file(s): No header when decompressed.

More details: Files are LZ11 compressed. The first part of the file is a list of addresses where the text is in the .dat file. The last address in the list is end of file. The list of addresses is 32bit byte swapped. In between the addresses and the text there's some other data that I can't figure out. Text is in unicode. Current attempt at manually translating a file from Pictlogica Final Fantasy.

Jupiter's DS games (at least the one I looked at) also use IdxRes .dat files, but they're structured a bit differently.

Sample files (if possible): Pictlogica Final Fantasy .dat Samples Picross e1 .dat samples Club Nintendo Picross Plus .dat samples Doraemon .dat Samples

Translated over 600 .jtex Pictlogica FF files and now stuck with this inxres_ .dat files :( The game is playable as all menus, skills in quest mode etc. are translated, but it would be much more convenient if I don't need to use Google Translate every time I can't guess mission conditions.
