How to extract protected/locked .mix files (ecachemd66.mix / expandmd66.mix)? XCC Mixer doesn't work.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to extract assets (.shp, .ini, .pal, .vxl) from protected/encrypted .mix files in a Yuri's Revenge mod (specifically files like ecachemd66.mix, expandmd66.mix, or custom .ec99 / .ex99 files).

Whenever I try to open them with XCC Mixer, it either crashes or gives me errors because the header / index table seems to be locked or corrupted by MixProtector.

I've looked at tutorials and tried using tools like QuickBMS scripts, but I still couldn't get it to work properly or understand the process.

Is there an easy-to-use tool, script, or updated method that can bypass these protections and extract the files inside? Any guidance or step-by-step help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

What happened? What do I need to do to fix this? I'm a foreigner and don't really understand this.

The creator should just be forced to hold right-click like that in real life until they go crazy! If they still won't fix the

"They can't even make a simple fix like this. They just don't listen to anyone. Their ego is too high to care about the players. How can they not even handle a simple shift lock system?"
