EF2000 Known File List

[mikew]

The did.dat files for the various versions of EF2000 contain many more files than are used by the game.
The European version of SuperEF2000 seems to have more than most, so that is what I've been looking at recently.

This did.dat contains 8586 files, and here are the names of those filenames already identified.

That's 7465 files as of 1st April 2024. (to be edited as necessary..)

Interesting that SEF2000 has even more files than v2.0. What program do you use to extract the dat files?

[mikew]

SEF2000 has the French and German files as well. There does seem to be more detritus even than EF2000 V2.0 though.
I use various Python scripts, continuously edited as I learn more.

Thanks, have no clue about the Python scripts though.

Maybe SEF2000 has still a lot of unused files which were removed from v2.0, who knows.

For fun I ran this names list with the Python scripts to unpack ADF's and TAW's DID.DAT archives. We uncovered 8 new files of the unknown ones from F22 ADF/TAW, they're the following:

3\init3d.txt
ss\ex_w_2.ssd
ss\ex_w_3.ssd
ss\ex_w_4.ssd
ss\ex_w_5.ssd
3\xkab500l.3
3\xs_eagle.3
ss\xs5_rock.ssd

Many more file names were in common with EF2000, but these eight ones were not among the known ones we already knew for DID's F22 games. I updated my raw_names_list.txt file accordingly to include these eight files.

Great initiative!

We probably should tokenize the combined 'raw_names_lists' of all the DiD games, then produce our own LLM to feed into a AI powered hashing algorithm to spit out likely hits.
That's probably enough buzzwords to secure some investment.

I literally did this when guessing the password for rubbish.dat, just with Markov chains instead of LLMs 🤣
