+For games that use pkfs functionality (gfdm/jubeat 2008/jubeat ripples), this
+will export every accessed file to a `data_unpak` folder so you can easily
+extract it using gitadora-textool and make mods.
+
+You can tell if your game uses pkfs if the `data` folder contains
+`finfolist.bin`, a `pack` folder, and a bunch of `.pak` files.
+
+Because .pak files do not contain a table of filenames, you have to brute-force
+filenames to fully extract them. This is why there isn't an easy one-stop tool
+to extract everything for editing. The "pakdump" github project comes close, but
+misses a few files.
