Only tested on the ELF's Ai6win engine game "媚肉の香り," the repackaged .arc files can be read normally by the game, theoretically supporting all ELF's Ai6win engine games. But it may not support .arc files of Silky and Silky Plus. Silky and Silky Plus are derivative brands of ELF, ELF has gone bankrupt, but Silky Plus has survived to this day. Games from the three brands share a set of unpacking logic, but it is not yet clear whether Silky and Silky Plus have encrypted .arc files afterward.
GARbro
Visual Novels resource browser.
Requires .NET Framework v4.6 or newer (https://www.microsoft.com/net)
Operation
Browse through the file system to a file of interest. If you think it's an archive, try to 'enter' inside by pressing 'Enter' on it. If GARbro recognizes format its contents will be displayed just like regular file system. Some archives are encrypted, so you will be asked for credentials or a supposed game title. If game is not listed among presented options then most likely archive could not be opened by current GARbro version.
Files could be extracted from archives by pressing 'F4', with all images and audio converted to common formats in the process, of course if game format itself is recognized.
When displaying file system contents GARbro assigns types to files based on their names extension (so it's not always correct). If types are misapplied, it could be changed by selecting files and assigning type manually via context menu 'Assign file type'.
