Can't get scripts from Visual Novel.

[XionsProphecy]

Hey there!
I'll just keep this short.

A few days ago a friend of mine asked me to take
a look at a VN she was having trouble installing on
her PC. After having a look at the VN i noticed that
there was some serious issues with the installer, so
i decided to extract the archives and import them into
a new engine and rework it. I got the archives extracted,
but i noticed a few new files i haven't seen before when
doing this kind of thing.

VN name: Kokoro Navi
Lang: Japanese
Release Date: 2003
Archive File Formats: .EPK, .EGD (Both successfully extracted).
File names: SptScr.spt, StrMsg.str, StrScr.srt, TxtWin.dat,
VarSys.var, VarUsr.var.

And i believe the scripts are in these files, and i have no
idea how to extract these files. I tried using MadEdit to
see/edit the files, but all i can get from them are HEX, and
i am not good enough to know what i am supposed to use
HEX with to implement/convert into code that i can use to
make the scripts for the engine.

I will be happy with any type of response that can make me
move forward with this project.

Kind regards, Xion.

Did your friend switch their computer's region to the region needed (in most cases if not all, the region required will be Japanese) for the game?

Here's a tutorial I quickly found on Google: http://visual-novels-general.wikia.com/wiki/Basic_Guide_to_Installation

Yes. It still didn't work.
We both have been using japanese visual novels before.
Either it's to old or it's corrupted.
So i need a way to get the scripts, so that i can
remake the VN in a newer engine.
