A small collection of utilities for exporting and importing assets from games made with LUCA System by Prototype Ltd.
Tested on the following games:
- Little Busters! English Edition (2017)
- LOOPERS (2023)
- Harmonia Full HD Edition (2024)
- Kanon (2024)
- planetarian ~Snow Globe~ (Nintendo Switch) (2024)
The implementation of compresssion and decompression of CZ1, CZ2, CZ3, and CZ4 was derived from LuckSystem. The implementation for decompression of CZ1, CZ3, and CZ4 was originally derived from GARbro, but no longer is.
This project would not have been possible without the work of these previous projects!

These decoders and encoders are structured as libraries first and tools second. It's possible to use them as a base to build other applications.
Completely accurate CZ# file decoding and encoding. Read more about that here:

Partial implementation of PAK files, enough to extract data from most I've encountered, and replace data as long as decoding is successful. Any extra metadata can't be changed as of yet, however.
Small command line tools for modifying CZ images and PAK archives.
To install with Cargo:
cargo install --git https://github.com/G2-Games/lbee-utils utils
Otherwise, download the binaries from the Releases page here.
This is a basic explorer application for PAK files which allows you to see their contents, replace the contents, extract files, and save them again.
While this is a useful tool for just viewing and extracting the contents of a PAK file, it is recommended to use the command line tools for doing anything important as they offer many more options and allow for batch operations on many files at once.
To install with Cargo:
cargo install --git https://github.com/G2-Games/lbee-utils pak_explorer
