Legacy tool

EditorDPF is now a legacy Windows tool for maintaining CRM32Pro projects and DPF resource packages. For new projects, use EditorC64 with the CRM64Pro GDK, which replaces the older DPF workflow with the modern CDC archive format.

Overview

EditorDPF is an essential CRM32Pro SDK tool for managing project resources without rebuilding the application.

DPF stands for Data Package Format. It is a proprietary CRM32Pro container format that can secure, compress and encrypt application data while keeping resource loading fast. CRM32Pro SDK interfaces include methods for loading and saving objects to DPF files.

A common workflow is to let developers build the application with test resources, then allow artists, musicians and other contributors to replace or refine those resources in EditorDPF without changing or recompiling the game code.
