Extracting .bin files from Mario Party 7?
#1
Hello! If you saw my other post involving extracting .bin files, that was for Mario Party 10. In this thread, I want to extract .bin files from Mario Party 7 (and the other Hudson Soft Mario Party games). I had no idea how to do this, because unlike the .bin files in MP10, the .bin files in MP7 are not PAC files. I could not even find out what those MP7 .bin files were, as I only got this from a hex editor:

..c[Q.>..Gb.HL..
.#1}.N....t.HLoV
.[.j..N...._#U.v
.....\..=...o..v
.c.I.6m.:m..O.:_
.....o:'.+.V%.IX
O....1.M.......v
g.....z..(].H.U$
.*.K......D..DbA
.J..j.ud.v.....2
.v.-.....K.,A...
....*{Ve...Y.=..
g=....y...6.7..e
..?O..Z7.(5.R.H.
F.4...4..i$M#i.I
.H.F.4JM..4JM#a.
.S...KK.....[..e
..o\.[^._YR.{.z.
....q...P.......

Can anyone help please? Thanks!

Hi again ItsMeGamerAndBFDIer7!

Found this old ZenHax thread, where aluigi says the Mario Party 6 .bin extractor also works for Mario Party 7 files.
Tested it out on your file, and it extracted just fine. But the thing is, as mentioned in the ZenHax post, it extracts a .hsf file with a "HSFV037" header, which you can't really find any info on anywhere. But, there are some human-readable lines at the bottom of the file which indicate structures of a model or something of the likes that may help in deconstructing said file.

Hope this helps, cheers!
