Help with ripping textures from GC games

[ddrmaxman]

I'm more or less new to this and I really want to learn to rip Textures and 3D models from a couple of Gamecube games for fun and for some 3D animations I am working on.

Currently I am trying to get the textures for the environments and individual objects from an old Gamecube game called "Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg".

Can someone teach me about the .ARC files? how about all the other stuff for other games too? I'd also like to contribute stuff here too. . .
