.DAT files? - Atlanta - 07-25-2017

So I'm trying to use Tinke to rip sprites from a game called "Tottoko Hamtaro Nazo Nazo Q Kumonoue no ? Jou" and all I am getting is folders filled with .dat folders, and i cant find anything explaining why this is.

Am I being a dumb, and just missing something? and Need to play through the game in-order to get the sprites to show, or is this a legit thing I need to learn about?

Sometimes games will just not use conventional/well known formats and Tinke won't be able to process them. It just depends how they've been developed.

Can you upload a couple of these .dat files? Can't guarantee anything, but we can take a look and maybe help extract something from them.

Thank you, I'm glad to get any help I can! This game has some of the best Hamtaro sprites in my opinion, and seeing them not ripped is kinda sad. <xD
