Metroid Prime 3: Corruption .PAK Files - EmperorIng217 - 03-24-2023
Is there any way whatsoever to extract the contents of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption's .PAK files? I tried QuickBMS and it's ABSOLUTE GARBAGE, neither the wiki script nor any other works.
Of course I'm sure I'll need something else to conver the files within, but I need t get them from the pak files first. Is there any help whatsoever?!!!!!!!!

Maybe this will help? Haven't tried it but it's apparently a good editor, maybe it has un-PAK functionality.

I have tried that out before, and unfortunately that doesn't do that, it just lets you edit the game rom to change things in the game. It does unpack a tiny amount of files but nowhere near all, and it does not convert anything. (And it doesn't work on the demo or Corruption.) I need something that not only extracts ALL the contents of .pak files but also converts said contents into common formats like .obj and .fbx for the models and .png and .jpg for the textures. Someone REALLY needs to make a program that does for the GCN and Wii Metroid game roms what Reclaimer does for Halos 1, 2, 3, ODST, and 4. It's what I ripped the Ur-Didact with.
