Ripping from .art and .art-pt files? - Smoko Frodo - 09-05-2014

So even after unpacking Skullgirls's .gfs files, there's three files I'm interested in looking at but can't find any way of viewing. Does anybody know how to view the .art and/or .art-pt files?

If you could upload a couple of these I can take a crack at them.

I zipped some files for you.

Am I allowed to bump my thread?

I don't believe there has been any progress as of yet, still.

My apologies, I left soon after this and apparently forgot all about it!

Looks pretty tricky though, I can't see any hints of a header (other than the second byte is always 0x88) or a recognisable image format. I'm also seeing a mixture of odd and even file sizes, which is awfully suspicious (I would expect them to be consistently odd or even). I'd guess that it's compressed, so I'll see if I can do anything about that.

EDIT: I tried all 500 algorithms that QuickBMS supports (there's a handy script for this), none of them decompresses to anything helpful.
