What platform is it hardest to rip models from? - echotango - 01-19-2021
Hi everyone,
I am new to model ripping, and I was just wondering if it is easier to rip models from PC games or from console games. I specifically have an Xbox One, and I want to know if I should start by ripping from that or from a computer game.
Thanks,
echotango

Xbox One is physically impossible to rip content from, so I think you have your answer there.
Otherwise older consoles (like N64 and PlayStation) tend to be more difficult than modern games, but PC tends to be the easiest overall.

PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch were only able to be extracted because people found exploits for those systems.

The easiest should be mobile, since most games on there are developed by Unity. It's really easy to extract Unity games (just use AssetStudio).

PC and mobile games are generally the easiest. Although, not every PC and mobile game is easy to rip from. Sometimes, their assets might be encrypted which makes them tougher to rip from.
A few consoles I know of that are hard to rip from are the Sega Saturn, and the Philips CD-i. (Especially the CD-i.)
The Wii might seem hard to rip from at first, but once you learn the tricks and have the right tools, it's actually not that tough.
