ROM Hack Extracting models and textures from 3DS games

[PewnyPL]

So how was the OP able to get the SM3DL models when they renamed them to .narc?

Not every .bin file is a .narc file. It was in case of SM3DL. In case of Pokemon X/Y the bin files are .bch files really. Here they may be something completely different still.

Alright, thanks.

However, looking into the files with a hex editor, they have a "CGFX" header. Does that mean they're really .cgfx files?

Ah, yes, they most likely are CGFX then, I THINK I saw something about CGFX in one of the threads, so there may be a tool already, you'd need to look around.

 

[Mystie]

Thanks. I'll go take a look.

(BTW, I've tried converting MK7 models with cgfx2obj, and the models export fine, but textures always export as pure black images. Why?)

(Also, I renamed various ACNL files to .cgfx, but the parts for each character all seem to get jumbled up. And as for the Special NPCs, I cannot view or convert them at all)

I just took the .bcmdl and renamed it to a .cgfx instead.

I mean the files like Gctr_BowserCastle.szs
I decompressed it as .narc with WSZST but after it I got nothing

 

[Mystie]

Oh. I just took the character models. I used the "lod" ones, as the regular ones seem to be jumbled up just like the ACNL models.

MK7 uses sarc. My new tool will support it.

I am not giving a release data, but it will be very soon. After that, there will be a lot of updates with new file formats.

*Sitting on my chair*
No worry I and many others will wait patiently and again thank you cause this will bring some nice things

3DSExplorer doesn't work with xorpads bigger than 2GB.
Is there another thing I can use to extract a 4GB Rom/2,8GB Xorpad?

There's a link to some utilities in the decrypter thread(check the first post). In there, there's a program called padxorer. That will probably work.

Oh DS mode's limitations, how I hate thee... 2048 triangles max (Meloetta has 5880 by default)

Awesome! What games does it currently support?

For now it doesn't support a specific game yet. The formats it currently supports are CGFX, NARC, SARC, bcstm and the compression formats LZ77 (both de and compression) and YAZ0 decompression. (ofcourse will I support compression in the future aswell)
Later on, it will support mkds and mk7 specific formats at least, and more console specific ones.
