How to rip models from Super Smash Bros. Melee?

[Sir Teatei Moonlight]

I dunno I'm not an expert I only know a few basics:

• files that start with "Ef" are special effects
  
• files that start with "Gm" are videos or mode data
  
• files that start with "Gr" are stage data and models
  
• files that start with "Pl" are character data or models
  
• files that start with "Ty" are trophy models
  

So "PlYs.dat" could be a model file, but it could also be a moveset file, I have no idea. (I'm guessing it's Yoshi in either case) I seem to remember something about model files also having an extra two-letter colour code at the end for the costume colour, but don't know what that means for default costumes.
