WarioWare Gold's LZ77 and DAT files
#1
Howdy folks! So, I've been trying to rip sprites from WarioWare Gold, mostly microgames, and I found out the microgames use an LZ77 file and sometimes a DAT file. However, I can't seem to figure out how to open or extract either one.

I've tried using Switch Toolbox, but it won't open the LZ77 file and throws an error whenever I try to open the DAT file. I've also tried doing a texture dump with Citra, and had no luck there (either the sprites were oddly rotated (unless that's how they are in the files), stretched out, or both at the same time).

Does anyone know how to open or extract both files?
Here's a couple sample files if anyone's interested:

.zip   MarioBros.zip (Size: 12.76 KB / Downloads: 91)

(I'm not sure which one contains the sprites, but judging by the file sizes, I'm going to assume the LZ77 file contains the microgame's sprites.)
If you can't handle the heat.
You can't handle the Neutron Style.
