Research

The index data is protected. The way the program reads and processes this space is by first loading 4 bytes at the start of the file that is the size of the protected index. It then loads the whole index into memory. It then puts some data into the XMM0 register, which looks like the key. So far, it looks like it's static but I'll have to check if that's true for other files. It then enters the main decoding loop and loads 16 bytes into the next register, XMM1. It then XOR XMM1 by XMM0. It then puts the decoded part back into memory.

Some notes about structure. File names appear to be 2 byte char strings (wstrings?).

Key = BD AA BC B4 AB B6 BC B4 Unsure if this applies to other games but it works for Steins;Gate.

Also, file data is protected in the same way the index data is.
