I've been trying to extract the files from New Super Mario Bros Wii through Dolphin, and I ran into a problem:
When I right-click the game and click on "Properties", it pops this error up a few times:
After that, I look for the files in "Filesystem", but this is what I found:
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it a bad ROM?
Any help is appreciated.
(BTW, this is my first time I've ever tried to rip assets from the Wii, and I am using Garamonde's Wii ripping tutorial.)
EDIT: I almost forgot to mention, I'm specifically trying to rip Sprites, Textures, and Sounds. I don't know if I'll do Models, but I'll give it a try.

When I extract the files, this is the only file that gets exported:

Hi! In case of bad ISO, can you try run the game to test if it is playable?
What file type is your ISO anyway? Is it *.wbfs? Seems like you have a raw, encrypted ISO.

Thanks for the reply!
Anyways, since you said that it could be an encrypted .iso, I think you're right, because the ROM file I have isn't a .wbfs file, it's an .iso file:
If it is encrypted, how do I decrypt it?

Now that's a lot clearer! You are not using plain ISO, but NKit ISO. You'll need this instead:

Run "NKitExtractionApp.exe" and select your ISO to extract the game files. Full user guide here:

Good luck!

It worked! Thanks!
Do you know any tool that can open an .arc file? I tried to look for one, but I couldn't find one that works. XP

Great to hear!
For *.arc files, there was already a thread for it, 10 years ago:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-get-b...ii.223746/
Give that thread a read, you'll have some good idea what tools you'll need to find.
Some notes:
Quote:.arc files are only level designs.
Quote:Use Reggie and the background editing window to see which file is which
To make them a png... you use U8Mii to extract the archive, and either TPLMii or SZS Modifier to extract the image... either or, its been a few months since I've played with them last.
Quote: This is arc file, you can open it in SZS Modifier but you can't modify.
Good luck!

I have figured out how to rip Sprites, Textures, and Models from the Wii now!
Unfortunately, I still can't rip sounds at the moment.
I can't figure out how to extract sounds from a .brsar file. I've tried using Brawlbox, VGMToolBox, and a tool called "brsar_unpack", and I haven't had any luck with either one of them. (Brawlbox can open a .brsar file, but it can't export the sounds for some reason.)
Is there a tool that can extract sounds from a .brsar file?

Hi! When you said the tools didn't work, how it didn't work? Is there any error messages? Does it looks something like this?

From the file format wikia, it suggest BRSAR Extractor. You can try that:
http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/BRSAR_%28File_Format%29
You can also try HCS Forum, a forum specialized in ripping VG Music and anything sound related. They suggested VGMTrans

https://github.com/magcius/vgmtrans/releases/
There are also many hacking projects to mod Mario Bros and Mario Kart games, try look around "Tools and Guides" section for any tools they used.

Anyways, I'll go check them out and see if I have any luck with those.
