Top Reddit reviews mentioning File Archiver Apps:
You can extract GOG installers with innoextract.
innoextract --exclude-temp setup_rollercoaster_tycoon2_german_2.0.0.6.exe
will leave all resources necessary to run OpenRCT2 in ./app/
Or you could just install the free and open source 7-Zip which supports a smorgasbord of formats:
> Supported formats:
>
> Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM
>
> Unpacking only: AR, ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DMG, EXT, FAT, GPT, HFS, IHEX, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, QCOW2, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, UEFI, VDI, VHD, VMDK, WIM, XAR and Z
WinRAR offers features 7zip does not, like profiles for different compression settings, recovery records in case of corruption, and the ability to delete archives automatically after restoring, to name a few. For the average user 7zip is fine, though. WinRAR does still have a place for some.
By the way, there's a security vulnerability that allows arbritrary code execution in 7zip that was found last week. If you use it and haven't updated it recently I would highly recommend you update it now.
Uwah, 12h straight programming. I need sleep.
I'll read your comments and answer your questions tomorrow.
DDMK 0.1 pre-alpha
Installation
Navigate to your DMC HDC root directory -> data -> dmc3.
Typically this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Devil May Cry HD Collection\data\dmc3.
Open dmc3-0.nbz with 7-Zip.
Open GData.afs and type pl000.
Now hightlight all pl000_00_X.pac files, ranging from 0 to including 31.
So 32 files total.
Now go to your Desktop, create a new directory and name it MOT.
Back to 7-Zip.
On the toolbar click on Extract and in the newly opened window select the MOT directory you just created and click on OK.
Move or copy the MOT folder to your DMC HDC root directory.
Now download this archive and extract its contents to your DMC HDC root directory.
Start the game, once ingame you can open the menu with CTRL + D.
The rest should be pretty clear.
Always a bittorrent client, something to extract, and something to play media files:
For me on Windows: 7zip, VLC, µtorrent, Chrome, Steam, TeraCopy, Ccleaner, Recuva, MSE, MalwareBytes, MyDefrag.
Mac: Transmission (latest trunk), p7zip, Unarchiver, Perian, VLC, MPlayer Extended, Firefox, Onyx, Cyberduck, Bodega.
Ubuntu: Transmission (latest trunk), p7zip, VLC, Chrome, ubuntu-restricted-extras, irssi.
ES Explorer got bought out and started getting bundled with advertisements and superfluous "features". Basically they started abusing the notifications to peddle junk and advertising. I doubt they do that (as much) anymore, but that was a pretty huge red flag for their future intentions.
I recommend mixplorer (as replied above).
You can use 7zip or ResourceHacker to open ZuneShellResources.dll in the Zune install directory. The specific image in your screenshot is named DEFAULTDEVICE.LARGE.DEFAULT.png.
Theres a good reason why it was removed. There are few shady chinese app gians in play store that you should never trust with your data (*cough* cheetah mobile *cough*)
I'd recommend using MiXplorer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691
It's the best fucking app I have ever used and the developer is one fucking amazing guy (Just look at the thread & how he replies)
It has almost everything that ES had and more, the problem is it can be a bit of a learning curve.
For those wondering, MiXplorer is a file explorer with all the functions you'd expect, and does great for those who hate what ES has become. Does all the usual cloud stuff, SMB, FTP, WEBDAV, maybe NFS, root access, tabs, themes, and a whole lot more. Link for the lazy.
I don't use K9, but it's open source and is generally the first option people turn to if they're trying to go open source and/or ditch Google.
I understand how getting into something new can be a bit of a daunting task. So with that said, I will walk you through it from start to finish. Whether you do it or not is up to you. 1. Download/Install something like BitTorrent or uTorrent. Bittorrent.com or utorrent.com 2.Click this link. It will download a file that ends with .torrent. https://itorrents.org/torrent/B4531B9C5337B0B078CE8D8EEC3F8E83B2AEA583.torrent 3. When file is downloaded, open with choice torrent client. Torrent will start downloading to your computer. 4. While file is downloading, install 7zip. It allows you to decompress the torrent file you are downloading. https://www.7-zip.org/ Chances are you are on a 64bit version of Windows so make sure you download the appropriate exe. 5. When torrent is done downloading, go to where ever you chose as your download location. May need to change from a default location. Right click on the file (should end in .bz2), in the context menu hover over 7zip, select extract here. It will decompress and you should be able to view the file after.
Hey, I'll just tell you how to do it. Zip files are easy to compressed and it sounds difficult, but you'll get habituated with it.
You can download 7-Zip if you don't already have it. (You'll need it)
1.) Create a folder
2.) Rename it "Animal Crossing Portraits" or whatever you want, your choice.
3.) You'll have to start creating folders inside the folder, so let's start with CharPortraits
I. Drop: Dwight, Meg, Claud, Jake, and Nea inside CharPortraits (Trapper, Wraith, Billy, and Nurse)
II. DLC characters have their own folders; DLC2 is Laurie and Myers. DLC3 is Ace and Hag. etc. Go into DBD game files and recreate the folders for your pack.
4.) Make sure that the image files are .PNG and not .JPG and the Dimensions are 350x350. If they are, skip this step.
5.) Assuming you've installed 7-Zip you're ready to compress your pack. Right click on it, Scroll down to Send to, and click on Compressed (zipped) folder.
(Right Click on pack > Send to > Compressed zipped folder)
- 7-Zip is a tool that allows you to open zip files and it's very efficient.
6.) You're going to need a file sharing site. Luckily, Google Drive exists, it's free, and it works well for beginners.
​
7.) Upload the Zip folder on Google Drive and mark it as Other people can view.
8.) Copy and paste the link into the subreddit and I think you're good to go.
Gog versions work well under wine (1.6 from the wine PPA) for me. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit (not sure why I'm using 32-bit, but I've upgraded this computer from Dapper).
The only trick(s) needed are to add '/nogui' to the end of the installer, so that it will run correctly. Although I think I added some dll in winetricks to get the 2.0 installers to run without it later. The other trick I use is to fix audio stuttering and I do this by suspending pulseaudio by running the game like so:
pasuspender wine <game.exe> or
padsp wine <game.exe> (haven't tried this yet).
Oh and it seems Syndicate Plus works much better in the native Linux version of DosBox, so I'd assume ScummVM games would work just as well in ScummVM under Linux.
I think some use the unpacking tool Innoextract to bypass the GOG installer and run the setup.exe directly in wine.
Edit: Also, so far if the wineHQ app database has positive reports, then I've had success with the GOG version.
Late Edit: You can add the windows DLL "gdiplus" using winetricks to get the GOG 2.0 installer to work without any cli options.
For others, here is the thread for MiXplorer
You used to need XDA Labs for updates, but it auto-updates itself now
innoextract is able to extract game files from many GOG installers I've tested. Serious Sam: The First Encounter extracts fine while Quake has some minor case sensitivity issues (need to symlink Id1 to id1). Haven't tested multipart installers though.
I love your work, but could you do everyone a favor and zip up the the 4K versions, then host them on a public Dropbox / Google Drive? Imgur compresses the hell out of image uploads and makes them look bad.
You can use <strong>7-zip</strong> to zip up the files.
<strong>Artstation</strong> is another good option, but 4K uploads are only available to Pro members.
You need to ditch solid explorer and use mixplorer. Aside from being free, it is the most feature rich and streamlined explorer for android that I have ever used. I ditched Solid explorer for it and it has never disappointed me.
Do not use ES File Explorer. It's ad riddled crapware. Solid Explorer is good, FX is also good, or if you want a free file explorer with good features, there's MiXplorer over at Xda.
MiXplorer is in my opinion the best file manager out there, except for the fact it's not on the Play Store.
Free with no ads though, and an insane amount of features.
MiXplorer. It isn't on the play store, but I don't find it to be an issue. It has almost every functionality of Solid Explored but is free and, for me, more intuitive. I paid for Solid Explorer and still ditched it for MiXplorer. You can download the apk from XDA.
Aber wie die anderen schon schrieben wurde ich dir neben der Lösung empfehlen auf 7-Zip ( https://www.7-zip.org/ ) umzusteigen :) Das kann auch rar entpacken und mehr.
Or... did you ... r/PaidForWinRAR/ ?
Well personally I would recommend to use 7-zip instead of winrar to extract 7-zip files.
Alternatively, if you're using Vortex as your mod manager, you can use Vortex to install SKSE64.
Press the Windows key + L when you leave the room.
If you have a dual-monitor setup, follow this guide to prevent the lock screen from turning off after 1 minute - https://www.howtogeek.com/267893/how-to-change-the-windows-10-lock-screen-timeout/
Use 7-Zip to password protect sensitive folders.
That's not really a good suggestion, as ES File Explorer now has really obtrusive ads.
Mixplorer is a more fully featured file explorer app that's free and ad-free: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691
MiXplorer is my new favorite, or ES File Explorer 4.0.2.3 old version before it sold put does everything but Dropbox, but neither does the most recent PAID Es File Explorer Pro whatever, to show how little they have done to improve it.
Anyway MiXplorer does everything and its free, just not in the appstore
Did you extract it? Ok, I'm going to assume you have no idea what to do here, so don't take offense. A rar file is a bunch of other files smashed down in size and stuffed into a single file. It's similar to a zip file, if you're familiar with those. You need a program to extract it. Install 7-zip here:
https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1900.exe
Once you do you can right-click the rar file you've downloaded and select 7-zip -> Extract
There should be an install file in the newly extracted files that will install whatever it is you're trying to do. Good luck.
A .zip is a compressed folder, you will need to open it and take the .package file out of it then put the .package in your mods folder. A .rar is an archived file and you will need to download a program I recommend 7-zip.
You should consider switching from es to something else. I know the article is old but the last time I've downloaded it to see if it has turned around it hasn't. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.androidpit.com/this-is-why-you-should-not-use-es-file-explorer%3famp=true

Nova or Apex Launcher. Apex doesn't get enough love around here.
MiXplorer - from XDA. Best file manager and a lot more.
Reddit Is Fun - The Reddit app I always come back to.
aCalendar+ - I have tried most of the calendar apps including Business Calendar. aCal+ has the best widget, and he most functionality. Customizes up nice too.
Google Keep - Mostly because it has a desktop app. If anyone has anything equivalent or better I'm all ears.

You'll need to unpack it as it should come as an archive.
Basically use something like 7-zip, which I think is the one they recommend anyway, and unpack the files into Skyrim's main folder. Not the data folder, but the folder that has the game launcher in it.
You'll also need to launch the game from skse_loader, either directly or if you're using a mod manager (which I'd recommend) by having that set to launch the game via that file.
You don't need to pirate WinRAR, it just nags you to get a license. If you want to avoid that and you don't wan't the malware from cracked WinRAR copies, just use the free (and much better) 7-Zip.
Use 7zip with "LZMA2 compression method" + "Ultra compression level" + "1536 MB Dictionary Size". [Tick "Create SFX archive", for exe]
Note: U need 64 GB RAM, to do this!
Yep! Just as another fun tidbit, the author, Igor Pavlov, placed his algorithm LZMA2, the default compression algorithm used for 7zip, in the public domain. And I'm not 100% sure, but IIRC, p7zip would be what you're looking for.
As an off-topic aside, I noticed you seem to have an unlicensed copy of winrar.
All memes and joking aside, you should be aware that 7-zip is an open-source alternative that's every bit as good or better than winzip and winrar. However, it's completely free and unrestricted. It's able to unpack pretty much all formats as well as create zip, 7z, tar, and wim archives.
On Windows you can save the following script as .bat file:
md "C:\location\x"
7z.exe e "C:\path to file\x" -o"C:\location\x" -aoa
If "C:\location\x" exists, md will display an error message and the script will continue.
Make sure <code>7z.exe</code> is in a directory contained in %PATH% (e.g. system32) or in the working directory of the script. Alternatively, call 7z with the absolute path:
"C:\location to 7zip\7z.exe" e "C:\path to file\x" -o"C:\location\x" -aoa
Probably not, but i could suggest something that might work.
Use 7-zip
install it, then right click on the archive and select '7-zip' and then 'extract files' and a window will open.
under Path Mode you can select 'no pathnames' and then all the archives will be extracted to a single folder.
(this probably wont work) You might also be able to use something like Glary Utilities search tool, to search the folder for archive files, it will find them all and then highlight them all and extract them, they might extract to each folder?
But I don't think there is going to be an easy way to do it.
No problem. See the ".rar" extension at the end of the file name? That means it is a zipped file. Zipped means it is compressed to save space, or that it is several files grouped into one zip, then compressed in order to traverse the Internet as one file (and to save space). Zipped files will mostly have [.rar], [.7z], or [.zip] extensions. There are others, but they are more advanced. You'll come across those with more practice under your belt.
There are several FREE software applications available to unzip zipped files. WinRAR is one example, but I prefer PeaZip because it is Open Source, low impact, and user-friendly (IMO).
In order to open a .RAR file, you need to download and install one of these file unzipper programs first. This will "Extract" the file into all its parts. Read the screen carefully. In general, you should use "Extract into new folder", because that is going to help keep all the files together in a folder under the original file name.
Does all that make sense?

Oh misread your question - annoyingly they added a p to name, but its in the core repo's

A quick walkthrough.
- Download the mod in .zip format.
- Download 7z
- Use 7z to unzip the .zip into a self named folder
- Put the folder into module folder of game directory, usually located at C:/Program files/Steam/apps/comms/Mount&Blade...or something
- Make sure that the root folder is in the Module folder, and doesn't accidentally have an extra layer of folder. For example after the root folder, it shoulld have several folders called things like ModuleData folder, SubModule.xml and bin
Tip: look at how the other games submodules (Sandbox, StoryMode) are setup
That .7z file isn't the actual BIOS files. You need to extract the BIOS files from that .7z file using a program called 7-Zip. https://www.7-zip.org/
Once you've done that, you should have 3 files but you also need to make sure they're named properly. They should be named "firmware.bin", "bios7.bin", and "bios9.bin" without the quotes.
Place those files in the "system" folder wherever you installed RetroArch.
Quick follow up, you may need to download an app that lets you unzip files. There are a couple good ones and it doesn’t matter which you use. (luckily it only takes two seconds, no creating an account nonsense or anything.)
I use 7zip. https://www.7-zip.org/
The zip file is like the box your rom came in, you need to open the box and take the game out before you do anything.
I recommend downloading the free small app 7Zip. Once it is installed, all you have to do with any zip file is right-click on it and choose how you prefer to unzip it.
Zip files are standard for storing or downloading large files or large bundles of files all in one go. If your computer "has problems" opening them, you might want to investigate what's wrong with it. You didn't say what the problem was, so I can't speculate, but in any case, just using 7Zip might take care of your issues.
You could try using innoextract or similar to extract the data files from the disk without running the installer. I've heard of this recommended to people trying to install the game, I don't know if it also works for the expansions.
> I don't want to accidentally get a virus
RCT2 expansions contain only data files and no executable code.
Can you try Keka? It’s generally my fallback for archive problems. I have no idea why, but it’s been my experience that some archives don’t play nicely with certain unarchiving applications
I'm on windows and I use 7-zip, but there seems to be a good alternative - Keka. You'll have to convince the other person to download it too, but they can assemble multiple files into one large one.
+1 for The Unarchiver. If for some reason you need another suggestion, I've used Keka in the past. It's paid on the app store, but free to download from their own website: https://www.keka.io/
I saw .tar on linux, but not .zst. Quick googling provide how to open in windows https://peazip.github.io/zstandard-compression-utility.html But I don't know why is compressed this way. Did you download from safe source?
If it's a zip file, you need to extract it. If you use Windows, it can be double-clicked and then compressed files can be dragged and dropped to a new folder.
If that doesn't work, you can download an open source program called 7-Zip (https://www.7-zip.org/) that will do the job.
I would guess once you do that, there will be an .stl file that can then be imported into Blender.
The only other guess as to what might be wrong is, if the file appears in the Outliner, but doesn't appear to be in the viewport, it may just be very small (this happens often) and needs scaling up.
I'm not a license expert, but it looks like it's GPL LGPL, BSD 3-Claus, and the unrar license, so... I dunno? There is an unrar package in debian which has a non-free license so... possibly this could be included?
250GB and he's full-up on Excel spreadsheets? Meanwhile I'm having to make do as a software developer with a 100GB disk drive.
A couple other programs have been mentioned already, but WinDirStat is the one I keep handy for trying to find wasted space, along with 7-Zip for compressing stuff I don't need often but can't throw away.
AES is only as good as the KDF protecting the key. Looking at the github mirror of its code (updated march 2019), it seems to be using PBKDF2-SHA1 with 1,000 iterations. That's actually really bad because SHA1 is weak, and 1,000 iterations is very low.
I could be wrong about this, as the documentation says its encryption implementation uses a "SHA256-based" KDF, and I hope I am wrong, but I can't find any PBKDF2-SHA256 code anywhere. Neither did I look at any of the AES code, so who knows if that's been done correctly! Maybe I missed something, but based on what I'm seeing here, you'll be safe if you base64-encode 33 random bytes and use that as your password.
You need to install 7-zip to extract the contents of the archive.
I would suggest looking for Windows tutorials on YouTube to help get a better understanding of using the basic, everyday functions of the operating system.
you need archivator to use 7z files. It may be winrar or 7zip itself, it's a free software (https://www.7-zip.org/). Then you just need to unarchive it into mod folder in victoria 2 folder
> So, I grabbed a copy of the 7-Zip archiver from https://www.7-zip.org and started decompressing the files.
Yeah, that takes forever and is unnecessary if you read the files directly from the archives using something like libarchive.
> Once I had the common field, I’ve created a Postgres database
Or you can use SQLite if you only need to work locally.
I don't know if it would suit you, since you said you were looking for a WinZip alternative, but 7-zip is completely free and I'm pretty sure it allows you to encrypt anything you compress.
Did they say how they wanted it encrypted?
If not:
GnuPG would be the best option if the recipient is willing to set it up on their end and you can encrypt it just for them vs just putting a password on a file. This also allows you to safely send encrypted content without having to give them a password via some other communication channel.
Assuming you are using Windows GunPG for windows is known as GPG4WIN.
If you go the GnuPG route do some googling on how to install, configure, and use it. Its a bit more complex then simply adding a password to a 7zip file.
Simplest way would be to use 7zip.
Right click the file.
Add to archive.
Set password and make sure AES-256 is selected.
You would have to get them the password via some other (should be secure) method though.
Here's how I do it, although I don't know if easier methods exist.
Essentially, you first want to create a sprite with a costume that you want to replace with your image larger than 480x360. Name the costume something recognizable, like "largeimage" so you can find it later. Save your project to your computer and open the .sbX file with 7Zip. Look for a file called "project.json" and open it up in a text editor. Search for your costume's name and copy the file name associated with it (under the key "md5text"). Now, rename your large image to that file name (making sure to keep the file types the same) and replace the original image in 7Zip with your new image. When 7Zip saves, your large image should be imported into the project successfully.
Yes. You need to use either 7zip or WinRAR, both of which are free software.
7zip can be downloaded here: https://www.7-zip.org/download.html
WinRAR can be downloaded here: https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Once either one of these utilities has been installed, the option to "extract to FILENAME" will appear under the drop-down menu when you right click. Alternatively, you can open the files with WinRAR or 7zip and drag/drop them out of the WinRAR/7zip window into another folder.
Tried it with the cellars mod and merchants mod and couldn't get it to work, but just in case you want to try yourself:
Open the TFC+ .jar file with 7-zip (or another archiver like winrar), there should be a "mcmod.info" file in there. In 7-zip, right click it and click "edit". In mcmod.info, where it says
"modid": "terrafirmacraftplus"
remove the "plus" so the modid is "terrafirmacraft". Save and close, say yes when 7-zip asks if you want to update it in the archive.
7zip is free.
First line in the FAQ https://www.7-zip.org/faq.html
Can I use 7-Zip in a commercial organization?
Yes, 7-Zip is free software. You can use it on any computer. You don't need to register or pay for 7-Zip.
​
Whether it's the right answer or not is another story. Makes me wonder why OP doesn't just implement dedup of some kind. Can do it on the SAN or even in Windows. Files could be moved to separate folder and locked down to restrict access if that's the concern.
That's just a distribution-agnostic version of the native launcher. The launcher.jar hasn't been linked there in months. This link still works:
It may require 7Zip to open and extract.
because its not a folder. its a 7zip archive and you have 7z files associated to a free version of a paid program that obviously has some restrictions/issues. Download and install 7zip from https://www.7-zip.org/ and remove whatever that program is.
For sure, I belive GeekVape has instructions on their website, make sure you do the Aegis legend 200w, not the 100w Aegis.
Thanks a million to u/Solidbill he helped me out big time by giving me a detailed explanation of the update process!
Here is what he posted:
Download that program, run the installer. Download the Firmware package, right click it, select extract to...xxx (folder name here, it will create a folder with the same name as the package file).
Remove your atty and batteries, plug the micro end of the cable into your device, then hold the + button while plugging the other end into the computer, then release the + button. It should pop up with some message saying that “xxx is ready to use” (just Windows installing generic drivers). Now you can open the new folder you created in the first paragraph, click the file that ends in .exe, that will open the program. Hit start and it should apply the update and show a success message. "
Thanks again u/Solidbill ! ......✊ Solid

At the bottom of that mod page is a link to the DAI mod manager, you'll need it to install the mod. And the DAI modding tools forum link has some tutorials that show you how to setup the mod manager and use it to install your mods (in Tools section go to mod manager then go to general discussion...there are two tutorials right at the top). This program can unzip the mod manager and extract it and same goes for the mods you download: https://www.7-zip.org/ You'll need to create a folder to extract your DAI mods in cause you'll need to point the mod manager to it during setup.
You can view each individual page from the thumbnails going down in order, or you can download the entire chapter from the links provided at the top of the page.
CBZ files can be opened with 7-zip, and from there you can extract standard JPEG files to be read with the image viewer of your preference.
My personal suggestion would be 7-zip. It's fully free, with no nag screen like WinRar, and also open source.
An additional note is that those files are all .dds, so you will need to convert to upload them as decals to ROBLOX, but they are perfect for modelling as is.
7zip provides an msi download on their download page: https://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Stick it in a file share where everyone that needs it has access. Push this out with a Software Installation policy. This is dead simple group policy stuff, nothing special.
This only gets more complex when you don't have MSI files, but lucky you in this situation.
The main reason I chose it is because it allows you to preview the archive contents before extracting it. I would also like to know other unarchivers that has this feature.
Assuming your download was not corrupted (as it would be one of the reason you can't unzip it, on the moddb page you have the exact amount of octets if you want to compare) you can try to download 7zip that should open it :
https://www.7-zip.org/
WinRAR is used to open all types of archived files (.zip, .rar, .tar. .jar etc)
7zip does the same
Download the x64 version
>That isn't true, I make RAR packages all the time with 7z.
Weird that they would specifically claim otherwise on their own website.
Unpacking only: AR, ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DMG, EXT, FAT, GPT, HFS, IHEX, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, QCOW2, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, UEFI, VDI, VHD, VMDK, WIM, XAR and Z.
it's a 7zip file, you need to download a unpacking software called 7zip here, its free and open-source. right click the file, 7zip - Extract Files, and then do the other steps I wrote
You should be able to compress the file, use something like 7-zip.
Or if you're on Mac, follow these instructions.
Strange, have you not downloaded 7zip or winrar before? I thought windows came bundled with them?
Try dowload them. Here is a link to external site. Download .exe for you windows version (its usually 64bit these days).
Well you have to unzip it and actually run the downgrader. Get yourself 7-Zip, use it to unzip the archive you downloaded, then run the downgrader's .exe file inside the SPT folder.
You don't have file extensions on, is it possible that Windows' default unzipping process is getting hung up on .7z files where it doesn't have problems with .zip or .rar formats?
A quick Google of the error code suggests that this error usually appears if the file is password-protected or if it's zipped using certain programs/formats that Windows Explorer can't handle on its own.
As always, just use 7-Zip. It's free, it's easy, and it solves 99% of these problems.
Well you can compress with 7-Zip. But just compressing the game files and then uploading them to google drive sounds like extra steps for something that probably works lot better by just backing up the save files and deleting the game. Then you can just install it again the same way you originally got it?
Apologies in advance, but my uploads aren't the easiest because my Google accounts are on a precipice haha.. I use 7zip, and you can get it here:

​
After you get that software, just use this link:

and the pass is Rilo.
Message me if anything goes awry!
If you are getting the games through GOG, you need to install them first (which may require Windows). If you don't have Windows, try one of these (1, 2) extractors.
(I tried it: Wow, GOG has updated all the games from DOSBox to ScummVM since I last looked, even KQ7. I'm not sure I'm a big fan of this; in particular giving KQ1--3 a mouse cursor which they didn't originally have.)
If you open the game folder, you can safely delete the "scummvm" folder, as well as any files starting with "gog", "unins", ".ico" files, ".pdf" files, shortcuts, etc. Copy all the remaining files to your phone. Then if you run ScummVM on your phone, you should be able to point it at the directory containing the game files and it will pick up the game.
(I'm trying it now; I'll update this if I discover any other steps.)
> Also, for anyone else running Linux, the demo worked 100% in WINE, as most AGS games tend to.
No need for Wine -- just unpack the installer with innoextract and then play the game with the open-source AGS interpreter (which is what Wadjet Eye bundle with their official Linux releases). This works great for the both the demo and for the full game.
I think that Entropy or BetterZip might be what you are looking for:
- Entropy: http://www.eigenlogik.com/entropy/
- BetterZip: http://www.betterzip.com/
Both allow you to peek inside or drag/drop files in and out of encrypted archives without extracting.
For an archive utility I've liked Entropy. It's not free but it's similar to 7-Zip overall and has good format support including creating both 7z and RAR archives.
Sometimes there's a file manager included in the OS; otherwise, download Cabinet or Root Explorer or the like. Then you'll find it in your downloads folder, assumedly.
Things you need:
- Root access.
- A file explorer. I recommend ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.
Backing Up
- Open your file explorer and grant it root explorer powers. For ES File Explorer, open up the side menu, go to tools, then turn "root explorer" on.
- Go to your root directory. The root directory is a step above your internal storage where you might keep your music and pictures. It will have folders like acct, cache, config, dev, efs, etc...
- Find the directories listed below step 5.
- Inside each directory you will find a file called "swagbucks.sqlite." Copy this file over to your computer or wherever else you want to store it as a backup.
- Because they are all named "swagbucks.sqlite" you should keep them in separately named folders so you can remember which file belongs to which app.
- data/data/com.entertainnowmobile.views/files/Database/
- data/data/com.indymusictv.views/files/Database/
- data/data/com.lifestylztv.views/files/Database/
- data/data/com.movieclips.views/files/Database/
- data/data/com.sportly.views/files/Database/
- data/data/com.swagbuckstvmobile.views/files/Database/
Restoring
- Be logged in to the apps.
- copy the swagbucks.sqlite file to the appropriate directory. So the swagbucks.sqlite file you backed up from IndyMusic should go into data/data/com.indymusictv.views/files/database.
- Overwrite the existing swagbucks.sqlite file in there.
- Log in and enjoy.
If someone decides to upload all the files, all you'd need to do is add a step about downloading that pack of files and placing those in the directories as per the "Restoring" section.
This was one I used for a bit, it worked well, until I got Root Explorer which has one built in. Also, if you have Dropbox, it has one built in as well. You could just drop the text files in your DB, let them sync, them view them on your phone.
I suppose you could also locally encrypt your sensitive files (if you still want to use SkyDrive). Just make sure you use a format that's compatible with your Android (as I see in the pic) too, for example you can use 7-zip to encrypt your files (and also compress them) using an AES algorithm, then if you want to see the content of your files on your Android, use ZArchiver.
I still use the sideloaded version (on a Mi Box, among other devices), downloaded from the developer's page:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691
​
Bought the paid version to support the developer...!
I think you can Zip quite large files or folders. But it is gonna take longer than eatch project. Maybe use keka, bit neeter than apples.
I would personally recommend zip one project for itself rather whole folders of projects. Faster to download if you dont need everything, and faster to unzip.
I'd use an archiver app like Keka; but what you don't want to do is change the file type; keep them as .zip but open them with Keka; then go into your documents folder, Paradox Interactive, Crusader Kings and open the mods folder and insert the .mod files there. https://www.keka.io/en/
Not attacking you, but the fact that you're using a Mac shouldn't impede you from opening those archives. The standard Mac program used for .zip files doesn't cut it for everyday use; I suggest either Unarchiver or Keka for future use. You can open .7z/.rar/.zip files with those (source: me).
​
As far at the actual file goes, I'll PM you.
I use Mac's steam version as well. I'm not sure how well RFC: DOC will work on mac, because mods with custom DLLs don't work on Mac.
I'd suggest downloading a software, such as Keka, that can open 7zip/rar files, then depositing the extracted files in /Library/Application Support/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword/Beyond the Sword/Mods
or a similar directory. Then, load up the game and load mods like you normally would.
(If you don't know how to access the library, go to finder and hit the "help" tab on the very top of your screen (outside of any window). Then type "Library" and click the result with the same name. Navigate further until you find the last file in that string of code.
If it works, great! I'd like to play it with a friend of mine but I'm not sure how compatible it is.
If not, try looking around the CivFanatics forum for mods that don't use custom DLLs or are explicitly mac compatible. For instance, History Rewritten changes lots of aspects of the game and attempts to make them historically accurate, but doesn't have the timing of events or historical starts that RFC or its modmods has.
I don't like how the right click menu is nested, so I prefer peazip.
But do you know what's even better? It only works for Windows, but there's a lesser known program called Bandizip. It lets you completely customize the right click menu and it has "extract automatically", which extracts to a folder only if there's multiple files in the zip.
Could use PeaZip - basically it's encrypted archives (ZIP etc), but the GUI can be used to extract, view and add files as needed. Not as fluidic as a LUKS container, but, is viable. Anything where a file manager can engage with an encrypted archive should suffice without root.
PeaZip should be able to open this on Windows: https://peazip.github.io/peazip-64bit.html
When you open the archive using PeaZip, it will say that the archive contains a single empty file. Ignore this and hit "Extract", and then hit "Ok" to confirm the extraction.
As far as I know no, you cannot download it on the phone.
You download the game here.
First, you click Download Witch's Heart 2.00, it will download a file. You have to extract the files with a special program, for example 7zip.
No need to install anything, just click the .exe file after you extract the files and you're good to go. After you finish the base game you can download the Bonus stage and the Post bonus stage content the same way. But, since all the parts are linked, you have to first finish the main game, then download the Bonus stage, follow the intructions in the game itself after you start the Bonus stage to transfer your progress from the main game, finish the Bonus stage and then repeat the transfering for the Post bonus stage content.
You should download the latest version of dolphin beta, and 7zip for extracting files. You should also join some pikmin hacking discord servers if you run into any trouble with anything.
Install 7Zip, it is free from https://www.7-zip.org/
Once it is installed, right-click on your .rar file, and say extract. Then you'll see the .CIA file
RAR is one of many compression formats. They compare files to make them smaller and thus easier to download. 7Zip is great because it is free and can uncompress many different formats.
