The game in question is the 2008 title "Wii Ski" by Bandai Namco. From what I've seen Namco likes to use their own file formats for their games. Everything in this game that is not an audio file is inside of a ~400 mb file titled "SKI.dat", and like the title suggests I have absolutely no idea how I can get into it.

Here's what the full filesystem looks like:

If anybody here has experience with opening these types of files, some help would be greatly appreciated.
