I did some research and as discussed here: I am wondering how should I implement that slight protection for my resources then. Renaming *.zip to *.dat is not good enough. However, as I have to load all my data as memory files anyway before actually using them I could encrypt each file separately and keep the zip unencrypted. Then after loading in a png for example I could invert all its bits and that would be good enough protection as there would be no password to find from exe binary as plaintext but rather the cracker should understand how the files are extracted in assembler (bit inversion for example).

You can do that. Just load the files into memory using al_fopen and al_fread, then do your decryption, mount the memory using the memfile addon and then use the _f suffixed loading functions.
