Diner Dash (Wiiware) - Ripping story comics? (.texture.wii)

[LuigiMario79]

I'm trying to figure out how to rip the story comics from the Wiiware version of Diner Dash.

All the image files have the extension ".texture.wii", and I get nonsense when I open one in Notepad++. Can anyone help me?

You can't open binary files in Notepad as you'll always get nonsense.  It's best to post a sample or two of the actual files, otherwise it's impossible to tell what it is from a screenshot.

Here's some sample files.

Best results can be achieved with BC formats, but it's clearly something different... Some weird WII compression maybe?

I downloaded the PS3 version, and that version's image files seem to be encrypted differently. Here are some samples.

Actually it uses PAL8 w/ GC/Wii swizzle (There's a palette data at the end)
Palette format is N64_RGB5A3
Image data offset starts at 48 (0x30)
