How to open a FARC file

If your FARC file is from a Little Big Planet game, you can use Farctool2 to view and extract the files your FARC file contains. If your FARC file is from a different PlayStation 3, 4, or Vita game, you may be able to use QuickBMS and an associated, game-specific BMS script to extract the file(s) your FARC file contains. (Many game-specific scripts are linked on QuickBMS's homepage.)
