The Nintendo Switch .bars file structure

So, i decided to reverse engineer the nintendo switch .bars files here... (i feel like i'm so amateur in reverse engineering file structures   )
i use a hex editor program to see the .bars file inside

So far, here's what i got:


The structure itself consists of:

-Header. This is obvious one. It begins with BARS, possibly ends with character ô or Ô (F4 or D4 in hex respectively), i'm not sure


-File classification order (?) (Presumably begins with character ô or F4 in hex, ends with Ô or D4  in hex, or just end with Ô or D4 in hex) i'm not sure (perhaps they're a part of header?)


-Tags? (Possible tags begin with @ or 40 in hex, À or C0 in hex, or € or 80 in hex, or perhaps there's more?), used for some sort of, "sorting" file order

It actually goes like this... (notice a number of 00s for some sort of, spacing) (this is found in Doubutsugo_Bonyari.bars , a lazy villager animalese audio files from animal crossing new horizons)


-File name (Begins with AMTA tag with certain format: AMTA <code> File_name)

-BWAV contents (all begins with BWAV tag, possibly unsorted for the orders)


notes
-it seems that some .bars files contain more AMTA tag than BWAV files (possibly have more than 1 AMTA tag to use the same BWAV files? Unused AMTA tags? no idea why...)



so, anyone else have tried reverse engineering nintendo switch .bars files?

That's true, BKB3 finally came out. It's a mobile phone game and it has tons of trading cards. They look like this :

Spoiler

Can someone rip all of them ? There are a lot of them and I don't really have time to play hundreds of fights just to get one of them, especially when you can have duplicates. I didn't litteraly rip this one, it's a screen capture. They have to be somewhere in the apk, but where ? The apk is here : https://apk.center/com.advancedatudios.bkb3.html. Thanks in advance.

Please keep in mind I have no intention of submitting anything to this site from the leak. Because they are not allowed I am seeking help to rip them myself. This is where I hit a road block. I am trying to rip the early stalfos model but its a .o file and the mapping is a .map, I have no Idea how to open it and I am looking see if someone knows about how to rip these kind of models since I have seen people on twitter ripping these models like its nothing, keep in mind like I said in the beginning this is for personal use only I do not intend to submit these models on the site. PS i looked up .o files and they seem to be some kind of object file

Hey! I want to rip the textures from Wipeout: The Game for the Wii (for absolutely no reason besides the fact I love the game) and I only see that I can rip textures from Dolphin using their dump textures feature. The only problem is is that that only dumps the textures present in game. I want to dump all the textures from the entire game. Any way how besides using some insane hacker skills my dumb brain cant understand?

Hello,

I require this model as part of a master’s thesis on the representation of maritime myth in media. I wanted to find myself a tangible representative for video games, but the market options are nill, so 3D printing a model seems sensible. I have been able to rip some textures here and there, but I’m no expert and the rendering of the models in TWW is weird to me. I also believe that the main body of the Ghost Ship is separate from the flag and sails.

Thanks for your time.

Hey,
I'm trying to rip models form some of my locally-sourced PS2 ROMs (e.g Castlevania: Lament of Innocence), and I'd rather not try to convert them to .obj files (e.g using Ninja Ripper, because .obj files don't have bonesets, making them useless for animations). I've found several files, such as .PSS files (video), .IRX files (Libraries?), and a most-likely-what-I-need FILEDATA.bin file. How do I extract this FILEDATA.bin file?

With hope,

I'm using PSXprev to extract models, but one issue with the programme is that the vertex colouring on some models doesn't appear on some modelling programmes, but the colouring will appear in Meshlab as the creator of PSXprev has pointed out. I'd like to export the colouring to a texture so that it will appear on most modelling programmes. Does anyone know how to do this?

I've just joined, so it's a pleasure meeting all of you.

I'm not sure how to introduce myself but that's a different thing. I need some help ripping background tiles from Super Metroid.

I want to get the floor and various blocks in Ashy Brinstar and Red Brinstar. I got ZSNES and VSNES, and I am lost.

Any kind of help is appreciated.
