Textures are normally .xi for the engine in question and those are already supported. If .xc are models then we don't have support for model formats yet.
Models would be xm files. They should be stored in a folder called models even.
Any chance this has the potential to work with Snatcher (either the Sega CD or PS1 version)? I'm working on building a PC version from the ground up (not planned to be publicly available) as a personal project just for the sake of becoming more comfortable with programming. I would like to extract and use the original sprites and backgrounds from either version. Taking screenshots of every scene is quite cumbersome.
You can always request new formats on our github issue page, as stated in the OP. So until you do that, it would have the potential, but won't happen. Since you want to get into programming with that project, it might even help us, if you do some research beforehand. That makes us just faster.
All support for files is done manually through plugins written to handle the format. So like it says in the OP, you are free to create an issue and provide samples. However, we're swamped with work to do on this so the chances that we are slim. However, since you're looking at programming, having you write the plugins yourself is very much a possibility.
I'm very much an amateur programmer, so while I'm not confident in my skills at the moment as far as writing plugins goes, it's certainly something I can look into here and there. Is there a particular programming language that you'd suggest I use when it comes to writing plugins?
VB.Net is also an option actually. Although we don't recommend it at all. C# all the way!
Well this should be a fun challenge for me then! I’m used to Lua, never used a C based language. Thanks!

".dat" is a fairly meaningless extension. Please open an issue on our GitHub and follow the instructions provided.

Update: I found that some of the .dat files are not just stored text to, some have a lot of other bytes to them so i have no clue what the hell to do at this point.
From what I found while tinkering with the file, the are just files that house the text, like literally it;s just the text in UTF-8 format. but when i edited it the game would not read the new text. Only Notepad++ would sow me the UTF-8 japanese text where my other hex editors only show random things when put in UTF-8.

Hi.
I have a problem with Karameru.
I'm trying to replace the voice files in Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies with those from Gyakuten Saiban 5. I managed to replace them in Karameru but when I'm finished and save the changes, then I go to Citra to test it and the emulator freezes and I have to end the task with Task Manager.
I thought that maybe the files couldn't be swapped so I tried extracting a file from the .cxi dump, and then replaced it with that same file.
Citra froze again.
I finally tried opening the .cxi image and saving it as it was, without touching anything.
Again, Citra froze.
I have to mention that the game does run in Citra. I thought I'd clarify this in case you thought Citra froze because the game wasn't supported.
It seems Karameru has some sort of problem when writing the file.
Is this a known problem or am I doing something wrong?

OK.
Since you are telling me to file the issue, I take it the problem wasn't me then, right?
Just wanted to make sure I was using the program correctly since it doesn't came with a readme or instructions.
I have one question, by the way: do 3DS games need to be decrypted, encrypted or it doesn't matter?

Yes, at least from my perspective it seems there is a bug in the CXI plugin.
To work with the files you definitely need them decrypted. To install them onto a 3DS system, they can be in either state.
Is it possible to add the ability to select multiple files at once when compressing/decompressing? I have a bunch I need to decompress and it's annoying to do it one by one.
