Resources for information on how IFFs are structured

[4kim28]

I am working on a mod for College Hoops 2K8 on PS3, and I am trying to figure out how to open the IFF files for that game, as they are structured slightly differently from the PC IFF files.

Now, I doubt anyone here knows how the PS3 IFFs are structured (though if you do that would be extremely helpful), but I was wondering if someone could point me to information or documentation that explains how the IFFs, preferably from 2K12 and earlier, are structured, and how tools like 2KX are able to extract data from them.

This information would be helpful for us to develop a script to extract files from IFFs, since so far we have had no luck doing so.

I'd definitely recommend JaoSming's array of old tutorials for all things modding on that generation, such as this one:

They're also posted here in the Forum of course, but if you'd like to browse his YouTube channel, a quick link: https://www.youtube.com/@jaosming
