No one can extract any xbox capcom game after devil may cry 4 they change things in microsofts compression so extractors will not work. No one has reversed the compression on the 360. the ps3 version will use zlib just wait for that.

[grandmasterjimmy]

Oh alright. Thanks chrrox.

Oh my God!!!!!!!!!!

We need there models! ah ah ah!

[Itze]

If chrrox says it's hard, it probably is cause he figured out lots of file formats :p

This script and current scripts written for PS3 RE5/Gold doesn't convert the MvC3 .tex/.dds correctly, since data appears reversed when viewed under a hex editor. Then again its probably my lack of understanding about these archives.
Either way I've notice this game does not have any error handling when a arc is changed (meaning that it doesn't crash when it loads a different arc file).

[grandmasterjimmy]

I'm having trouble with the textures as well. I've tried using the RE5 PS3 script that auto-converts the various files but it just outputs corrupt files.

[chrrox]

just place a header on the files they are so easy to convert...

[grandmasterjimmy]

I've never done anything with any of Capcoms formats before so I have no idea how their formats work. At least a spec sheet would be nice if it's so easy to just add a header to them.
