szstools help (SOUNDS) - SuperMario123311 - 01-23-2015

So my friend is trying to rip sounds from Super Mario Sunshine ((Because most of the directorys online are corrupted.)) but is having problems, First thing is they are in .szs files and he needs to use szstools to open it, the problem being that he is rather new and the instructions aren't very helpful for a first-time user.

Any advice?

Can you upload a couple of .szs files? I'd like to test it out so that I can give proper instructions.

SZS files from Super Mario Sunshine can be opened by using RARCTool, I believe Cute

Then all the decompiled files will be in a new folder that's been created. If RARCTool doesn't work you probably need to use YAZ0Tool, if it that's what it's called Cute

My friend says he sadly can't get ahold of those files anywhere, Any active links available?

It should be in the szstools pack Smile

edit: the tools are called yaz0dec and rarcdump Shy

RE: szstools help (SOUNDS) - puggsoy - 01-25-2015

Extract yaz0dec.exe and rarcdump.exe to a folder and place the .szs files in there. Make a .txt file and paste this in it:

Code:
@echo off

for %%f in (*.szs) do (

    yaz0dec "%%f"

    rarcdump "%%f 0.rarc"

)

Then change its extension to .bat. Run that and it should extract all your .szs files into separate folders.

If you need help with the resulting files just say, but be sure to try VGSC on them first.
