I'm interested in car models from Wangan Midnight PS3 which was made by Genki, the main devs of Tokyo Xtreme Racer (Shutokou Battle in Japan) games. I was wonderin if anyone can look into tis sample dat archive for dumping assets, and I've seen in archived forum of xentax regarding that game topic and found some quickbms script of it.

Sample WMN.dat

Sample toc file

I tried to use TXRExtractor to extract Wangan Midnight PS3 archive but it gave me unsupported archive error. Does it identify the legal copy?

Link to TXRExtractor: https://github.com/fatalhalt/TXRExtractor

In the meantime, I found the xentax archive about this

If anyone have tried this tool, I'd appreciate your response because I wanted to extract the specific car model.

Your files look encrypted. Maybe try an other version.

unfortunately, that's the only version of TXRExtractor tool I know in github for ripping Wangan Midnight PS3. I also left the archived xentax forum link regarding this game topic, but I didn't understood what the topic creator and others did.

I mean try other version of the game, that maybe not encrypted. (BLUS,BLES)
If its available.

I guess I forgot to mention that Wangan Midnight PS3 is Japanese exclusive, so I'm kinda out of luck...

Unless if anyone else is free enough to help me with the .dat archive.

Where did you get these files? Maybe incorrectly ripped? Because they are certaunly encrypted or just corrupted, and they shouldn't, because tools for unpacking doesn't have any decrypt algorithms.

I downloaded the game from the internet but I cannot tell you which website I got it from. So TXRExtractor tool is only supported physical copy I guess.

okaayyyyy... turns out my previous copy of Wangan Midnight PS3 I downloaded from was a very bad copy which is why I got this error, so I downloaded another copy and now it finally works with TXRExtractor right now. At least I can finally open new topic for ripping Wangan Midnight PS3 model/textures.
