Game.dtz

GAME.DTZ (DaTa Zlib) is a file regarding PS2 and PSP versions of GTA LCS and GTA VCS. It contains data files, as well as main textures and models analogue to existing 3D era games compiled in binary form. It is compressed using the zlib/deflate algorithm [1] (max compression). Its contents can be viewed using any zlib compression/decompression utility, such as offzip [2] and zdrop, though some can be viewed with DTZ Editor [3], a tool made by Dageron.
