Ripping models from Wii .dat files - help needed - Krusha99 - 07-25-2020
Greetings! So, I kinda wonder if it's any possible to rip models from Wii games that are packed in the .dat format, such as Mario Super Sluggers or Donkey Kong Barrel Blast. I unpacked the "dt_na.dat" file already with Dolphin, but after it, I'm stuck. I noticed there are indeed some models from Mario Super Sluggers, but not all of them. So this makes me wonder - how is it possible to get the models? I'm sure there is a way, but I tried about every program for it. Any help would be appreciated

Hey
I had the same issue and I thought I'd share my solution with you if you're still interested.
I ended up using a program called NinjaRipper and Dolphin 4.0-157 (using the Direct3D9 Backend) and was able to get the models out from Mario Super Sluggers through this method.
