A .dpk file is a simple archive format without no compression. The format appears to be proprietary and specific to visual novel software for Windows.

Specification

The format comprises a header and payload.

The header includes the magic bytes "PA" followed by the number of entries (short) and total file size (int). Each file entry in the header is designated by a null-terminated string of 16 characters (ASCII), followed by the length of the file (int)

Files in the payload are stored in the order in which the entry appears, and can be extracted by reading the number of bytes corresponding to the length of the file.
