Drawn to Life Wii is Really Confusing - GuyThatExists - 06-03-2020 So, I just recently got into ripping and emulating games, and one of the games I wanted to start with was Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter for the Wii. I came across quite a few roadblocks in getting to where I am now, and I really need some help on where to go from here, because the rest of the internet has been no help whatsoever. So, I'll try to walk you through the process I've taken so far. I installed Homebrew and CleanRip onto my Wii and got the .iso for the game onto my Computer. I had to join the files together, and then I loaded the game using Dolphin. Everything worked fine so far. I decided to start by ripping some sprites, and that was also really successful. Now comes the bad part. I decided to try to rip some models, and so I followed the steps in this thread to try and get the models. After extracting all the files in Partition 1, I began to look through them only to realize that there were no .brres files. Some of the file types I could open, or at least knew they weren't what I was looking for (.txt, .bnr, .img, .inf), but then everything else was either a .bag or .fsb file. I checked inside all 3 folders, but only found .wad files in "_sys", and the only files in the "HomeButton" folders were .txt, .csv, .arc, and .tpl files, none of which I assume I need. I ended up finding a way to open the .fsb files using foobar2000 and the vgmstream plugin, so I got those down. Then the real reason why I came here. No matter where I look, I cannot find anything relating to .bag files in a Wii-related sense. I've Googled every possible combination of words, I even Googled ".bag" "file" "wii" and couldn't find anything. I reached out to experienced friends of mine, and couldn't get anything.  So, do any of y'all have experience with these types of files, and can you offer some advice on how to access the contents of these files? Thank you.
