Help - Extracting content from .dat files of the ROMFS and repacking them - SwiftieMuggle - 03-11-2017

Hello , i am new to this website. Im happy to join.

I recently was able to extract the files of Mario Sports Superstars , however , the game seems to be heavily compressed as the romfs folder (the one that contains all the data) contains most files in DAT files.

I have no idea how to open these files and i have researched a lot with no luck. 

Here are some screenshots of the folder.

I am almost 100% sure that ''na'' folders , contains the game's sounds and music , which is what i want to rip first.

I would also want to know if there's a way to repack the files after being extracted.

If anybody can help me with this it would be amazing.

Also if anybody wants to take a look here's the fs1.dat and fs2.dat of the na folder , which i think containts music and sounds because of what the hex editor says.

Just rename the .dat extension to .nus3bank and open it with NUS3Bank Editor from there you should be able to extract the sounds from inside
