bca2txt

Python script for converting a .bca file to a .txt file for easy copy/pasting to Redump.

Save code below as bca2txt.py, and drag-and-drop .bca file onto script to produce FILE.bca.txt 

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import os

if (len(sys.argv) != 2):
	print('usage: ' + os.path.basename(__file__) + ' <64-byte BCA file>')
	sys.exit(1)

bca_file_size = os.path.getsize(sys.argv[1])
if (bca_file_size != 64):
	print("BCA file is not 64 bytes")
	sys.exit(1)

bca_file = open(sys.argv[1], 'rb')
txt_file = open(sys.argv[1] + '.txt', 'w')
for x in range(4):
	for y in range(8):
		val = bca_file.read(2)
		txt_file.write(bytes(val).hex().upper())
		if (y != 7):
			txt_file.write(' ')
		else:
			txt_file.write('\n')
