Anyone say Xenoblade Chronicles 3D?




I don't think the decryption process is public for this yet, but if anyone's interested in ripping models for this game (since I lack the know-how) shoot me a PM.

I'm noticing some issues with the Fire Emblem: Awakening character portrait sprite sheets (http://www.spriters-resource.com/3ds/fir...awakening/). Compared to in-game screenshots, the sprites on the sheets appear to exhibit some kind of edge degradation, like they've been eroded. This is particularly troubling with the children, who have to be composited together (I have included Severa as an example). On the other hand, I've noticed that the thumbnails on the index page do not exhibit these problems. So what I'm wondering is what went wrong with the sprite sheets? Can they be corrected/redone? And where did the index page thumbnails come from, because there is no way they could have possibly been taken from the sprite sheets they're supposed to be representing.


The smaller three pictures are a screen capture from the index page, the transparent .png, and the transparent .png with a high-contrast background. In the larger images, I have attempted to replicate this thumbnail using the relevant sections of Severa's sheet. It can not be done.

SPIN screwed up the alpha channels. Wish I'd have known that sooner '
(Awakening is the only big game I used it for that it affects, thankfully)

I still have the clean rips, so I could probably just zip them up instead of having sheets. I'll try to do that sometime soon.

I noticed the Smash Bros. for 3DS / Wii U rips were the same way...

I fixed the large renders and stock icons already. (Not the thumbnails)
The custom parts are still off, I think.

Edit:
Whoops! Turns out I never uploaded the fixed smash ones!
I'll get that fixed asap.

That would be great, thanks. I'm just glad it's not something that needs a whole new rip to fix. Hooray for backups.

has anyone ripped dillon's rolling western and dillon's rolling western:the last ranger yet?

I've only been able to view some models and fonts for Dillon's Rolling Western, which are LZ11 compressed. 2D graphics seem to be in a custom format.

I was curious about the Regular Show game. I noticed Ploaj was ripping it somehow. Since I think he'll eventually complete such project, I'm excited to see the rest of it, especially the Final Bosses. I do wonder what the formats are like though.

If you have some of the latter I'd be interested in taking a look.

The puzzle & dragons Mario thing has a really simple file structure!

I can't wait to get sheeting these

I thought that was a download-only title? Maybe I was misinformed. Also has there been any releases of the Mii Plaza games? If so, is ripping monsters and such from the likes of Monster Manor, Find Mii 1 & 2, Warriors Way, and Mii Force, possible in any way? I know the Mii's themselves probably have a really wonky method to them, but I figured since the monsters and such are all standard, they'd be a bit easier?

Yup, it's identical to P&DZ, where I posted an obt QuickBMS script a few pages back

Just dropping in to say I can try to tackle some of Dream Team's dreamworld sprites if I can get the code/program you've been using to rip them.

Also want to put it out there that a demo for that Dragon Ball game is out, though I can't seem to extract the FS.
