The error it gives me when trying to extract the wii files " Can't read 64 bytes from offset 51d05818.
Anyway don't worry, it's possible that the BMS script has been written
to exit in this way if it's reached the end of the archive so check it
or contact its author or verify that all the files have been extracted.
Please check the following coverage information to know if it's ok.

coverage file 1 0% 271253 229937664 . offset 51d05818

Last script line before the error or that produced the error:
61 log "" OFFSET SIZE 1"

I tried updating one of the two scripts but, really, supporting these "fil" formats is a waste of time due to the many differences and the work-arounds ever give problems:

Yeah its me again. sorry to keep bothering you over the games files but i promise this is my last request. could you please find a way to extract the archive.ar and cdfiles.dat from the 360 version of the game? using the current script extracts a couple files but gives me an error.
