    I've had that issue and it was the encryption added by the localization team. I didn't find a way around it. You're using the official release of G-senjou right? Those files seem to use encryption. Seeing as ya can extract and repack all files that aren't those patch.xp3s likely only those had encryption added.

    Yes but it depends on the VN engine. Most VNs use one of several engines and because of this there are pre-made tools to just open up the archives they use, if its using a unique or fairly rare engine then you may not be able to easily extract. First thing to do is just look at the installed files for the VN, some VNs just store the music as is. If that fails just dig around looking for the file extension of what you suspect contains the music files then whack that into your search engine of choice with "extractor" in it. Theres a solid chance the arc unpacker will work but if not you may have to do more digging, theres no one size fits all solution.
