The Japanese RSO is much smaller: Only 67 MiB on the CD-ROM instead of 400.
Most of it is concentrated in
DATA1.CAB of the InstallShield installer. I cannot extract it fully, but it contains an 8.15 MiB
DID1ST.DAT.
This, in turn does not contain encrypted high-entropy data like the English/French/German/Italian/Spanish versions do. It starts with a “dummy file” that is mostly a tiny directory listing of DID’s network drive:
Code: Select all

After the developer lost interest in filling up the archive like that (or failed at it), a few normal files follow and then kind of semi-random data. It looks like a really bad attempt at creating randomness:
- image.png (146.1 KiB) Viewed 4 times
It goes on like this for several megabytes, just with bytes in different ranges than
10…2F shown here.
There are some RA-compressed files in
DID1ST.DAT. I’ll have a look at them later.
