Ripping files from WiiWare [WAD files]

[Garamonde]

this thread lists all the .BRRES games. My Pokémon Ranch seems to use an unknown compression so it says a memory dump is required... Pokémon Rumble is in .CX and uses LZH8 so I'm guessing LZH8_CmpDec... I don't remember hah.

I already have all the Pokémon Rumble Pokémon extracted, if that's what you're after -- if you're willing to start up a project thread I will PM you the files to start it with.
I was writing up a list of which files contained which Pokémon and never finished but... maybe if you give me a couple days I can work on the list. I will also ask a friend of mine to help me decompress the rest of the game's files, too.

I tried to extract the models from Pokemon Rumble using the LZH8_Cmpdec but it didn't decompress. How did you get all of the Pokémon Rumble Pokémon extracted?

[Garamonde]

my friend is helping me with decompressing the files now -- I'm working on the list of Pokémon too so maybe I'll open the thread sometime soon.
LZH8 worked for him so maybe you weren't using it properly? it's a command line program, and it produces a .ARC file which then can be opened in BRRES Viewer.
either way, I've got this covered, no worries.

OK i'll let you work on extracting the .arc.cx file.

Can you send me the decompress .arc file when you are done decompressing it?

I actually just finished writing the list of Pokémon that are in the game today.
I started writing up the first post for a project thread too, so I'll try to post it tomorrow along with the download link to the .ARC that has them all, if that's okay with you.
from there, anyone will be able to claim Pokémon to submit.

Thank you.

What is the name of the thread for Pokemon Rumble?

[Garamonde]

I haven't finished it yet, I was trying to finish writing up how to "fix" the models (so they'll work in model programs), which Peardian was helping me with.
I'll try to get it done as soon as I can (I did intend to have it posted yesterday and had almost finished last night but it got late), I've been doing other things too.
sorry for this!

Did you get any progress yet?

I know it has been a while but did you manage to rip the models from pokemon rumble or are you still working on that?

[Garamonde]

Yeah I finished the first model, I was trying to figure out how to render it for an icon and write the tutorial on how to "fix" the UV issues.
Sorry about the massive delay, I've just gotten into other things (and also lack of motivation to do much of anything lately). I suppose I can see about working on it later today though.

I'm glad to hear that. I can't wait to rip models from Pokemon Rumble.

What program are you using to rip the pokemon rumble models?
