Python implementations of several file formats used by various GameCube games intended for use in ROM hacking.
Some of the formats are fully supported, but many are incomplete and only have partial support for editing certain attributes of the format, or for reading the format without writing it.
Below is a table of what is supported for each format. A '~' indicates partial support.
| Format | Read | Edit | Create | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GCM | ✓ | ✓ | ✕ | GameCube DVD images |
| DOL | ✓ | ✓ | ✕ | Executable |
| REL | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Relocatable object files |
| RARC | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Archives |
| Yaz0 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | RLE compression |
| BTI | ~ | ~ | ~ | Images |

| JPC | ~ | ~ | ✕ | Particle effect archives |
| BMG | ~ | ~ | ✕ | Message archives |

Note: BTI is fully supported except for mipmaps.
To install just the pure Python implementation, run:
pip install "gclib @ git+https://github.com/LagoLunatic/gclib.git"
To install a faster version of certain functions written in C (such as Yaz0 encoding), instead run:
pip install "gclib[speedups] @ git+https://github.com/LagoLunatic/gclib.git"
