Some .app files are .arc files.

Nope, just unpack them.

Sorry to push that old topic again, but I'm trying to extract the Mario Galaxy sounds.

Firstly I used WiiScrubber to extract the *.iso-file.
Now there are a lot of *.arc-Files, I tried extracting them with FreeArc, but they seem to be no orginary *.arc-Archives.

Sooo...could someone PM me the extractor which was mentioned here?

Try my tool it has a program for arcs (look at my sig)

 

[nicksasa]

use u8tool that can unpack and pack arc files

 

[Alimdoener]

u8tool can't extract them.

I always get run-time failure '5'

Any other ideas?

 

[nicksasa]

search on google "yaz0dec.exe"

and then you wil get a rarc file that you can extract with u8tool

 

[Alimdoener]

Ah thanks!
But how to use it. the readme says:

> for %i in (*.szs) do yaz0dec "%i"
> for %i in (*.rarc) do rarcdump "%i"

I don't get it. whenever I do yaz0dec with arc-files in the same folder as the exe, it just does nothing :/

 

[nicksasa]

open a command prompt ( windows buton + r and type cmd) and then type cd"your folder path" for example

cd c:\users\Nick\Desktop\wiistuff\****

then put yaz0dec.exe in that folder and type in the same cmd window

yaz0dec "file you want to dec" and it wil generate a new file

 

[GrandMasterJimmy]

Uh... You can drag+drop an arc onto yaz0dec and it will decompress it, you don't need to use command prompt.

 

[nicksasa]

yeah you can do that too
but as i have much command line stuff that i used for my csm (and using for v2 XD) i always do it that way

 

[GrandMasterJimmy]

Good point, many apps I use for various things need command prompt too.

Just seems they never used it before for much, and drag+drop would probably be much simpler for them =P
