So, I recently found an extractor for Dark Cloud, a game for the PS2 released back in 2001. I realized the files in the characters folder have the .chr format; but 3DS 2010 can't open them. I want these open! I'm assuming they use some sort of compression, but that is a mystery to me for now. There is some modding potential with the files, since there is an unpacker/repacker; but first I am asking for help with this. Anyone who knows the basic layout of most PS2 files will be a big help.
If you want a copy of any of the files, you may PM me for a file.
The Extractor/Compacter is here.

The samples you sent me are blank files.
Ma-bee the extractor posted is wrong.

Found files that actually have stuff in them! They are labeled ".mds" And are in folders usually labeled with the character's name. *Facepalm* Do you want a sample of these Chrrox?

OK, I figured out why the files I had were empty.
Ready?
It was because I forgot to get the data.dat file from the game as well.
*FACEPALM*
I assure you, this time, ALL of the bytes are there.
