Larsenv's GC/Wii Graphic and Texture Ripping Tutorial

1. Let's do a quick double check to make sure we're on the same page...
   You have Terminal open? Great. (If using Windows, please run "cmd" and to run the programs, go and drag and drop them to the command prompt, they're found in C:\Program Files\Wiimm\WIT\ and C:\Program Files\Wiimm\SZS\. You'll have to do this every time so replace the program name with the program path.)
2. Now that we've double checked, let's start extracting Wii Games (Let's try Wii Sports shouldn't we?). Enter this in the command prompt/Terminal accordingly:
   
   Code:
   

   wit EXTRACT <game image path> <output directory> -ovv
   Wait for your game to extract... This might take a while.
   Hopefully at the end it'll look like this.
3. Cool! Your Wii game has been extracted. Now let's explore the files.
   Here's what I see.
   The .carc files store pretty much all of the stuff for this game, so let's extract them.
   
   Code:
   

   wszst xx /Common/*/*.carc
   This will extract all of the .carcs for this game.
   

Wiimms SZS Tools can extract all of these graphic files or archives, and most of them are found in Wii Games.

SZS, U8, WBZ, WU8, PACK, BRRES, BREFF, BREFT, KCL, KMP, MDL, PAT, TEX, TPL, and BTI.

Different games have different file formats and such, so here's some more ways to extract stuff.

Imagine you have a game which has these paths for the files:


Here's some various commands to extract these.


This would extract everything in /GameData/Layout/Games/.


This would extract everything in /GameData/Layout/Other/AdditionalData/.

However, if I did this:


...it would extract every .szs file it would find in the path /GameData/Layout/Games/.

To extract the TPLs, you could do something like this:


It would extract every .tpl file it would find in that path.

Do you understand how to do this now? Awesome.

Use Daxar or Ploaj's tools here.
