That's from Xbox360 version. Models from Gold edition differs from default MUA models?

Except the ones that are exclusives to Xbox 360. Gold Edition/DLC models (characters & their separate model parts (like Venom's tongue, Nightcrawler's tail, & Hawkeye's arrow) + character select's mannequins + character select stage), very high quality as MUA PC, but for XML2 veterans who became DLC like Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Magneto & Sabretooth are way more than their XML2 PC ones

For PSP exclusives, whose character models (which are way more HQ) also in Wii can be exported through some exporting software, & i dunno how. Dark_Mark & BLAW knows it

It is really sucks that no one ports those console content exclusive stuffs

However. There some condition in order to be able to rip those GE models, like:
*Latest Emulator version that would make this game work on
*Windows 8-onwards
*Advance Graphic Card (particularly known for nvidia user. as for AMD user like me remained unknown. TT__TT)

Just got an info from the user who already test it

To convert the textures i just used the SWBF3 script from here
viewtopic.php?p=115660#p115660

and adapted it to these textures. I removed all the zero padding at the beginning and end of the texture and to prepare it before opening in Noesis and used the file size to guess the width and height. :D
