Spyro A Hero's Tail Rip - Spyro10g - 12-12-2016

I'm trying to see if I can rip models from hero's tail using the extracted files from the iso

I see that the  "Filelist.bin" file seems to have all the models and everything
Example of the list:
x:\spyro\binary\_bin_gc\sgtbirdn.edb                                    : Len     143296 : Ver  240 : Hash 0x0100009b : Ts 0x00000000 :  Loc     eb8e800:000
x:\spyro\binary\_bin_gc\sgtbrdbp.edb                                    : Len      51168 : Ver  240 : Hash 0x01000047 : Ts 0x00000000 :  Loc     ebd0000:000
x:\spyro\binary\_bin_gc\shark.edb                                       : Len      56000 : Ver  240 : Hash 0x01000075 : Ts 0x00000000 :  Loc     ebdd000:000
x:\spyro\binary\_bin_gc\sheep.edb                                       : Len     114880 : Ver  240 : Hash 0x01000036 : Ts 0x00000000 :  Loc     ebec000:000


I know I can rip them using Ninja ripper or DX Ripper but I've read on a forum on facepunch that you can get the models by memory dumping + hex editing
here is what the person said on the post

"
Quote:Ahhh, I know why. It's because the game uses the "MDL0" model format, which is the most common format for Wii games.

The files themselves I think are encrypted, but you should be able to get them through a memory dump and a hex editor. There's a program simply called ProcessMemoryDumper which does exactly what it says on the tin, then you just use the hex editor of your choice to search for "bres" in the dumped file, and just trim everything before that. Then, open the saved file in brawlbox and you should be good to go. Unless the model you're looking for isn't there, in that case jump to the next "bres" entry and delete everything before that, and so on.

With that program, you can view and export models as DAE, which will retain the model's original bone structures and rigging. Alternatively, you could try BRRESVIEWER which can export to MD5/PSK, but it doesn't work quite as well as BrawlBox in my opinion."

I myself don't know much about Hex editing or know how to memory dump.
I do have the programs I tried PowerIso to open the bin file but it just gave me errors.  Unsure

Also what ripper should I use Ninja ripper or 3d ripper dx
