HLSL need DirectX9, however, it is not compatible with Windows 10/11. To make it work, download DirectX End-User Runtime, use 7-zip to open the file and extract only the Jun2010_* files somewhere. Open a command prompt where you extracted the files and run:. Source: about 1 year ago

Most versions of Windows 10 and 11 should be able to open it natively as if it was any DVD inserted, but if not, download 7-Zip and open it with that. Not sure about Mac users as I'm not a Mac user, so you're on your own there. I really hope you all enjoy. This might be my last post on this platform potentially, given that I have no intentions of turning this into a main account. Maybe I'll look into seeing if I... Source: about 1 year ago

I do understand this is low-level stuff coded in C/C++ but I wondered if any one made the abstraction to read this data also. Maybe I'll need to make a "script" to read this data... 😑️ this is...

These libraries are themselves wrappers of low-level libraries, primarily for performance considerations (as they are almost always coded in C). If you really want to dig into the structure of those formats, you should rather investigate the possibilities of these low-level libraries.
