Hi,
I've search around web, tried at least 10 converters from Github none of them worked.
This file contains textures and text files, I managed to dump textures with the emulator but I'm still in the need of text files for translations and repacking as well.
Any idea of existing scripts if not a bored techie pretty please write one?
Thanks

What game is this? That would help narrow down what specific flavor of .dat is being used, since it is a generic extension.

but what I've found in the PS2 version, this same file is in .afs format. So probably it's the .dat is a Bandai Namco/Spike AFS structure.

You can use AFSExplorer to see what's inside the .afs and find out what the data is.
EDIT: It seems you already did that ?
You should check what is the magic of that .dat file of yours with a hexadecimal editor to find out what it really is.
