Plants vs Zombies DS Ripping Help - infinitybl - 04-30-2017

Hello, I'm a newbie here and I'm trying to rip some sprites from the Plants vs Zombies DS game. Following user Barubary's post from this link https://gbatemp.net/threads/ragnarok-ds-sprite-ripping-request.304302/#post-3824093 
I already unpacked the .nds ROM file with dslazy and I am trying to use a program called DSDecmp to decompress the data files. I think all the sprites are in the data_pack.bin file in the /data/ directory but when I use DSDecmp to decompress it, it gives me an error.

I use this line in the command prompt to try to decompress the file:
>>>dsdecmp data_pack.bin 

But it gives me this error:
No suitable decompressor found for data_pack.bin


Has any one here ever had experience with ripping DS sprites and using DSDecmp? If so I would appreciate it if you can help me out. Thank you.

Here's the link that contains the unpacked files from the rom:

do you know about nclr, ncgr, and nscr files? They are located directly in the data pack file. I was stumped too until i found this. I'm working on extracting the files right now. There are a lot of them. So far I have over 80 of each.

what do you do with the nclr ncgr and nscr?

From what I have found you can use a program like OilOfVtriol to view them or sth. like that. The problem I'm having is I don't know how to open the bin file, and would appreciate if someone helped.
