Seems to be compressed files. I think those files are also some kind of (R)ARC-compressed, but they can't be extracted with common tools. <br />

==== PAC-Files: ====
PAC-Files start with "ARC" (in ASCII) in the fileheader. <br />
  −
PCS-Files start to have something common at 0x04 and end at 0x11.

These informations are taken by investigating some .pac-files of the fighters of ssbb (the currently only known game that uses those archives).

* first 3 bytes -> ARC

* starting at 0x10 -> Filename without extension
 +
* starting at 0x60 -> propably the file-extension
 +
* starting at 0x70 -> propably the folder in which the file(s) are (so far no other thing as root has been seen)
 +
* starting at 0xE0 -> propably the start of the archived file
