U8 Archive
Archives, .arc, or ARC files are a common container format used throughout Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). Arc files can store a full file and directory-based virtual file system. Files may be compressed using DEFLATE more commonly known as zlib. In Sonic '06, the directories may be traversed, and individual files extracted and loaded into memory as needed.
Format
TBD.
