Ripping models from 3ds games

[TrashCounty]

Hello im sorry if this is too late to ask but has anyone tried ripping the 3d models from Mario and Luigi Paper Jam? I tried extracting and i havent gotten anything other than .dat files

Sorry to necropost but any info on .z5 models?

When I load the obj into an editor, the uv's seem messed up to the point of me not being able to apply the textures to the model, does anyone else have this problem?

Yep, I've been encountering the same problem. In addition, some of the models I try to rip get their parts all jumbled up (like the Animal Crossing citizens for example).

I'm just going to wait until that one guy on GBATemp releases his 3DS model viewer/exporter before I look at any more 3DS models.

can you send a link to the model viewer/ exporter if possible?
