How do I rip sprites from wiiware .wad? - Gnarizard - 01-22-2011

I'm trying my damnedest to figure out this whole "rip sprites from wiiware" thing, but I'm totally stumped.

I'd like to play around with "Castlevania: Adventure ReBirth".
After I unpack the .wad file, I'm left with folder after folder of ".psb.l" files...
I can't figure out what to do from here.
As much as I google away, nothing comes up.
I blame google for omitting periods from searches.

Anyway, can somebody point me in the right direction?
It was done with Mega Man, but to this day, I've no idea how they did it.
Is there some hex editing I need to do, or a tool I need to download, or what?

I personally find it easier to open up Dolphin, a Wii emulator, and run the game. Dolphin has a dump textures feature, and that works with Wiiware too.
It sometimes doesn't work all too well, but a lot of the time, you'll get what you need out of it.

Dolphin crashes with Castlevania Adventure Rebirth and a few other ReBirth games as well.
Sorry, but I can't help you: I use the Dolphin method too
