Hello people, i am new here !

Aluigi advise me to write my request about this game !
Im actually testing mgs3 subsistence online mode with pcsx2 (the last version beta 1.5.0) no problem for running it.
So my question is how to rip 3d models and maps?...
i already tested quickbms, it worked easily for bgm, codecs (all audios), videos ...but files from models and maps seems to be encrypted

-slot_n.dat https://ufile.io/7hn7a
-stage_n.dat https://ufile.io/hbnq8

i tested many things like ninjaripper, 3d ripper dx, 3dvia printscreen ... i also tested pcsx2 0.9.8 but the problem is that plugin dev9 for online games dont work too...

I hope that someone could help me to get these OBJ files ! Thanks

Remember to upload those 2 files you mentioned, just in case the other users don't have the game.

It's a complex format
I see a 32bit timestamp at the beginning of the file followed by 2 16bit version fields (1.1), a possible size field and "1", another block of information is available at offset 0x800, another one at 0x1000 which is followed by data with a sense but nothing that can be parsed.
Anyway let's wait the opinion of someone who has already worked on MGS.

Yes ! Encryption of these files is a hardwork...
If someone need to try in real time , i can send him pcsx2 package with mgs3 iso .
