I have become generally curious as to how one could go about extracting Megaman 9 from its .WAD file, it's a NES game technically (or is it?), so I wouldn't mind figuring out if emulators can run it properly.
My problem stems from the files inside the .WAD, once its extracted, i've found the 00000002.app to be the largest file, and i've taken a look inside of it using u8tools, but no luck finding the rom itself, this lead me to try the other files all leading to various interesting things that seem to have no thing to do with the rom save an interesting folder containing wbf1.brfna and wbf2.brfna -- I have no idea what these files do, could they possibly be the rom?
Questions I guess:
1. What is a .BRSAR file? I've found it in the 00000002.app and it seems interesting at a meaty 3000+ kbs, I hear in the google waves that it has something to do with sound, music?
2. What could these .brfna files be? (I should mention i've tried running rockman9.brsar in an emu and no luck what so ever.)
3. Has anyone else opened this .WAD up? I want to know if this game could potentially be emulated but I don't really know which file is rom actually is.
I wanted to get a topic going on this because I think its an interesting one to raise, i've heard of people extracting .rom files from other VC releases, what of WiiWare titles? I think MM9 is simple enough to be a good starting ground for WiiWare experimentation... And it just happens to be a great VC game to play!
