'''CPK''' is an archive format developed by ''CRI Middleware''. It is used in games for a variety of platforms. Files of this format have a .cpk extension.

The first four bytes of the file always have the value ''0x43504B20'' ("CPK ").
==Tools==
===CriPakTools===
This tool was made specifically for extracting CPK files.
There are countless forks and forks of forks of CriPakTools all made by different people. [https://github.com/wmltogether/CriPakTools/releases This] is the recommended version. It it a modified version made by wmltogether of a modified version made by uyjulian of a modified version made by esperknight of a modified version made by Nanachi3, itself based on the original version of the tool made by Falo on the XentaX forums. That version itself has several forks which may vary in features. As such, other versions might be worth checking out if this one doesn't have what you are looking for.

Compared to [[Noesis]] and [[QuickBMS]], CriPakTools seems to be the only one able to extract CPK files from Nichijou: Uchuujin on the [[PSP]] and maybe some other games as well.
