No one can extract any xbox capcom game after devil may cry 4 they change things in microsofts compression so extractors will not work. No one has reversed the compression on the 360. the ps3 version will use zlib just wait for that.

I'm gonna take a look later...

If chrrox says it's hard, it probably is cause he figured out lots of file formats :p

I'm also interested in the Models tho :D

This script and current scripts written for PS3 RE5/Gold doesn't convert the MvC3 .tex/.dds correctly, since data appears reversed when viewed under a hex editor. Then again its probably my lack of understanding about these archives.
Either way I've notice this game does not have any error handling when a arc is changed (meaning that it doesn't crash when it loads a different arc file).

I'm having trouble with the textures as well. I've tried using the RE5 PS3 script that auto-converts the various files but it just outputs corrupt files.

just place a header on the files they are so easy to convert...

I've never done anything with any of Capcoms formats before so I have no idea how their formats work. At least a spec sheet would be nice if it's so easy to just add a header to them.
