Supersonic Warriors 2 .arc Files - File Gurus Help Me Please - Shade - 09-13-2015

Hey, was hoping someone could help me with these files that seem to be compressed. I'm still a pretty hardcore newby at this stuff, so I would really appreciate if someone took the time to figure it out.

Contains two character files from DBZ Supersonic Warriors 2 on the DS. I know "charadata.arc" has all the various palettes inside it, and potentially other helpful things, so I decided to include it.

Thanks!

Here's a QuickBMS script:

Code:
# Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 .arc format
#
# Written by puggsoy
# script for QuickBMS http://quickbms.aluigi.org

idstring "GARC"

get FSIZE long
get FILES long
get BASE_OFF long

for i = 0 < FILES
   get OFFSET long
   get SIZE long
   math OFFSET += BASE_OFF

   log "" OFFSET SIZE
next i

Unfortunately there aren't any names, so the extracted files will just be numbered (hexadecimally). Some of them (like the ones in bdk_img.arc) are compressed, they can be decompressed using rle.exe from here. DSDecmp might work as well, you can try that if you want.

Anyway, that's as far as I got for now. I'll look further into getting the actual images when I have more time, hopefully soon.

You are a beautiful man, puggsoy. It works great! Can't wait to finally rip some characters! : D
