You can find the information you need on the github of whatever coin you need it for. You'll find it in src/chainparams.cpp, then you'll need to find "base58Prefixes[PUBKEY_ADDRESS]" and "base58Prefixes[SECRET_KEY]". It will show the prefix for public and private key respectively. It may be in decimal in which case it must be converted to hexadecimal first, there's plenty of calculators online that will do this easily.

For darkcoin the pubkeyprefix appears to be "8B" and the privkeyprefix "EF".

Sorry for very late response, I'm not really active.
