Hi all,
Just as a disclaimer I am very new to ripping assets, I have only ripped models from one other game on the Wii, and I am trying to rip the models and textures from Billy Hatcher on the Gamecube.
I have extracted the files from the ISO using Dolphin, and the game runs in dolphin just fine. But, I have a lot of .arc files from the game that so far I have not been able to open using any .arc extractor tools available, including rarcdump, arctools, arcman, yaz0dec (as some sources said they may need to run through that before they can go through rarcdump), szstools, wiiexplorer, etc. Every time it says the file is invalid or in some cases like rarcdump it just spits out corrupted empty files.
Is there something weird going on with those .arc files? Am I doing something wrong? The game runs fine in dolphin and I tried every arc tool I could find and none work.
There are also a lot of .prd and .mbp files and I cannot find any info on what those might contain in case they also have models that I am looking for.
