An archive format used in 3DS, Wii U, and Switch games.

Whoops, there was a typo somewhere in the code, please redownload.

Where's the output ? I can't find it

 

[AboodXD]

Did you redownload?

 

[systemconfigtoolcorrector]

oh WiiUZip extracts the sarcs just fine but i guess if you prefer python then this is for you

 

[AboodXD]

Well, no, WiiUZip crashes when it opens SARC files without names. (yes, those files exist and are used a lot in MK8 and MK8 DX)
This tool extracts them just fine.

 

[Mat37]

Did you redownload?

Yes

 

[AboodXD]

Please download again and tell me if it works or not.

It worked with the Switch! Did you have to test it with SDK sources?

 

[AboodXD]

No, just tested it with multiple SZS/SARC files from MK8 DX and ARMS.

 

[Rafa10PT]

OK. It's happening really fast! I saw a tread about a ROMFS explorer for the Switch.

Please download again and tell me if it works or not.

Works this time, thanks
So, we can't extract anything from the file created ?

 

[AboodXD]

Depends on what the extracted file is.

SARC is really like ZIP, it can store anything.

Minor annoyance:
I could use the legacy SARCExtract on my Mac's Terminal, now I need to use an EXE.

Good job, though, thanks!

Use the source code.

splatoon 2's files turn out weird, the last letter of the extension is cut off and the first two letters of the filename in the beginning get cut out.
example: http://prntscr.com/g5ixqs
some of those are meant to be gear or weapon or whatever, and they're msbts because i can change the extension and they work like a charm in msbteditor, but that is a bit annoying.

Redownload, I fixed this days ago. (A couple of hours after I posted this thread)

 

[KoopaStarRpad]

Use the source code.

smh when do i start concentrating
Thanks for bothering to answer! Works like a charm.
