ripping wii textures/sprites? - arc_ray99 - 03-18-2017
there is a wii game i was interested in looking into the textures of, but i dont know how to rip them in general.
i have access to the iso already so thats taken care of, i just need a good place to start in terms of how to rip.

Well, grab Dolphin the wii Emulator(which you can google and download yourself). Then, once you have the *.iso and that program, choose the location directory for Dolphin to search for the ISO file. Once that's loaded, right click on it and press properties> File System> and then choose whatever files you want and extract them. Extracting both partitions wouldn't be a problem, but unnecessary. From there, you should get individual files, which then we can work on identifying what's what.

well ok here then: http://www.mediafire.com/file/nm5a5649u24fqbr/NEGI+partitions.rar
its the partitions datas for the game, there werent very many files.
funny thing is that the last time i asked somebody about this game for models they said they didnt seem to be
there. rather odd...

Whoever said that is definitely wrong. That makes no sense
. It's probably in that 51MB bin file, which looks compressed somehow. I'll investigate it I guess.EDIT: Also, if you're looking to rip the sounds, you can convert those *.brstm files with VGSC:

Well, the only results I could yield from scanning a compression type was LZFU_RAW.
Code:
comtype LZFU_RAW
get ZSIZE asize
clog "" 0 ZSIZE ZSIZECan try using that. If you open that file in a hex editor, it looks like font entries, but otherwise I don't know what else to tell you.

well shit, i cant fathom hex editor as any guide i have ever found NEVER matches up to what i see versus what ANY tutorial shows. and any success i ever found was after somebody practically made a blueprint of all the data.
(granted this has only been once for Soul Calibur 5 and it took me weeks to figure out what the guide was talking about.)
