ROM Hack Extracting models and textures from 3DS games

[Huntereb]

Are earlier version 3DSs easy to find? I could try and buy one. Would Gamestop have any, or would I need to look online?

Might be easier to search online. They'll be more expensive than plain 3DS' nowadays, though. Look for "4.5 3DS" on eBay maybe.

I have an idea, is there anyone here who would be willing to decrypt the ROM for me, if I were to provide it?

I'm waiting for some Super Smash Bros. for 3DS models and textures.

This texture is in gameboy VC roms, in case people want to make a custom interface (face_cgb.ttp):

Hm. I can't seem to get Kid Icarus Uprising bcres files to convert to an .obj file using this.

I keep getting this error:

It said right there that it couldn't find the file.
Try providing the full path to the file.

Models have yet to be figured out (existing bch converters fail); however, textures have been dumped.

I tried both versions of etc.exe from this thread but both complain about DLLs. I tried installing MinGW and Cygwin but it didnt seem to help.

would be cool to make the GBCs actually color (in this case this purple gbc) match the color of your 3ds or xl..in my case...RED lol

 

[alexenochs]

also heres something i made quickly its the wrong file type and has a whiteish border but if we ever get the gba portion of that emu working well enough we could always use a template like this

or you can just have it fullscreen by setting the config.ini file up like
[CGB]
Width = 400
Height = 240

....but i know some people probably dislike stretching the screen

[gamesquest1]

Spoiler

[CGB]
Width = 400
Height = 240

[NES]

If someone wants to link me to the model files ill reverse the format or help with it.

here is the tool to extract super monkey ball files

get name basename
string name + .cgfx
comtype LZ77WII
get zsize asize
math zsize - 0x10
clog name 0x10 zsize zsize

save that as a text file and use
http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm

then they are normal cgfx files.

 

[RowanDDR]

Thanks chrrox it worked! I read earlier in this thread that the .cgfx file retains the object's texture? But I couldn't seem to enable them, in Noesis at least.

stage137.bcmdl from Monkey Ball Touch 'n' Roll

aiai_f.bcmdl from Monkey Ball Touch 'n' Roll

I don't think the script extracts the textures yet.

 

[robotortoise]

It said right there that it couldn't find the file.

Great, now it outputs a 0 byte file. :/

This whole process is annoying... Can someone please make a drag 'n drop .bat or something?

I get the issue Line 217, in <module>
srcfn=sys.argv[1]
IndexError: list out of range.

I've tried a few different verions of Python 2.7.x and nothing has changed.

you're not calling the script right. I'm not sure which script you're talking about, but from the looks of that line you need to try something like

python <scriptname> infile outfile

be sure to include the .py extension in the script name.

Happens when trying to run the cgfx2obj.py script I tried the stuff it said in the very first post but gives me that and I even made a .bat for it as well. Whenever I try running it it gives me that error.
