This is a tool for modifying data-archive (darc) files using in Nintendo 3DS games. The darc file format was found in the early version of Nintendo Ware for CTR (nw4c).
User guide

Notes
- By default, this tool creates archives without the "." entry, which is commonly found in many games.
- If you need that entry, you just need to add a "." as the input entry.
- For example:
python darc.py -c -f output.arc -d input . - Note that there's a dot at the end of the command.
