The .sai file content looks like compressed or encrypted data. It's not possible to create a signature for those files.
Try to contact the Easy Paint Tool SAI developpers and ask for a method to identify the beginning of the .sai files...

-Siiiigh...-

I kind of figured as much.. Don't worry.. ^^; That's about as much as as to my research has led me to.

I'll look into contacting the developers.. xux Let's see if they're nice enough to reply...

Edit: Oh almost forgot, regardless though, worry comfirmed. Thank you SOO much... <3

Oh and.. By the way? Wouldn't it be possible to check how PaintTool SAI calls the .sai files, maybe? I don't know.. A DLL or.. Something in the SAI directory that has the instructions on how to decompress/call these files?
