No file extensions for extracted files (Ed, Edd n Eddy The Mis Ed-ventures)

Post by eddy977 »

So I have been trying to extract files from Ed, Edd n Eddy The Mis Ed-ventures using the script that I found on this forum (This One: http://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/ed_edd_eddy_ps2.bms )
The script successfully extracts the files, file names, and size but no extensions. Also, the script can extract the .ps2 files of the game as well as the .win files for the PC release but both are the same case.
I'm interested in models and mostly animations but guessing which program to use to open them without knowing the extension would be almost impossible.
If anybody could help me get those files correctly I would be very grateful.
(Also I noticed that there's a DUMMY.DAT file in the PS2 release of the game and its size is over 1GB. It may contain what I'm looking for but I couldn't get it to extract at all)

The format doesn't contain filenames with extensions.
Being a PS2 game (or a console game anyway) usually there are not even known file formats for which quickbms can guess the extension.
If you want to try, open the script with a text editor, go at line 39 and put the following before "log NAME OFFSET SIZE":

Code: Select all

string NAME + .

Regarding DUMMY.DAT it's usually a file filled with zeroes that does nothing, try to open it with a hex editor and you will see (or just zip it and its size will be few kilobytes).

Thanks! I got the extensions but most of them are .dat so it seems that I won't be able to do much with those anyway. Could you also help me with unpacking this file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1s9LBZ ... MLh39Qa0En ? It's from Samurai Jack The Shadow of Aku, GameCube version. I'm hoping that this one will get better results.

That file is another variant of the format covered by this script:

I have just updated the script to version 0.2.4
