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')
