Author Topic: Can you unpack the cache.db?  (Read 1919 times)

Are you able to unpack and use the files stored in the cache.db file?
I want to have some music files that where, before, automatically downloaded into my Music folder.
The new system is nice and good but this is one downside of it.
I'm sure there is a way, I just don't know which program to use.


Try here.

A .db file is a very generic extension, so searching for that is pretty close to useless. It depends what was used to pack the data into that file in the first place, which in this case was SQLite.

Your best shot is to download an SQLite tool then load + query the cache file and see what you can get out of it.

I've already downloaded an SQLite viewer to see if I could diagnose an invalid packet error to do with a model file, and yes, it can be unpacked (well, you can pull files out of it, in theory)

I'll make a program for you. I'll have to give you source code for it though, I'm not allowed to distribute a .exe here.

Try here.

Therefore I ask which program to use. I never handeled with databases before.

Oh, Thank you. Can you tell me the libraries I need for compiliation, then?

Try here.
Way to contribute nothing.
Sometimes people actually have tried searching and it comes up with nothing so they...   
*wait for it*
ask people who might know more about it for help.

But yeah, you should be able to get files out of it.

Could I have it as well?

A Google search is still a necessary part of finding what you want.
Oh look, 5 down, SQL database discussion. What do you know.

Ughhhh.

The words "Try This" and a silly google animation is not helping me a bit.
(Spyware) Google is my friend and I used it alot.
I was just curious what program gives me the files out of the cache.db.
I could've tried all the programs inclusive SQL database thingy until it works.
But to save time and frustration I just ask in a forum where I expect help.
Maybe someone else made all the trouble with trying all the DB programs?
And can fasten things so quick for me that I give him joyfully a  :cookie:.
A forum is a place where you ask things and don't get a private link to www.google.com.
I hope you'll stop this "use google, you idiot" slogan and take an example from the other posts in this thread that try hard in being helpfull.

Don't worry mate, I've made a program that can do it. I've basically got it fetching all the names in the database then storing the hash for a name, then fetching the data for each name. There is one small bug but it should be ready to go soon.

wait, why can't you post the .exe?

Because people are stupid and could potentially post malicious files that they make out to be fascinating brick makers, add-on packers, etc

Strange relation to afterblock?
