[PlayStation 3] PlayStation Move Heroes & PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

[LovilyDino5647]

I am currently interested in ripping from both games but have seemed to hit a roadblock due to the lack of information on the matter. Aside from there having been VERY few rippers to have ripped from these two games, all I know about ripping from them so far are two things.

1.) All-Stars' Psarc archives can only be extracted either via PSASBR Tool on the pre-retail builds or dumped using PsasPS3Hooks with RPCS3. Otherwise, they cannot be extractable as the game uses some special encryption algorithm that makes it different from every other game with the archive and/or built on the Bluepoint Engine.

2.) One of the rippers for PSAS mentioned that they got their models from a friend's VRAM dump.

Since so there's so little to go off of as mentioned, I am assuming VRAM dumps include dumped models, textures, and whatever have you. If anyone is interested as well in getting these models and maybe perhaps know how to pull that off, I'd be more than willing to do the dumping myself with my own PS3. Other than that, I have uploaded some samples elsewhere if anyone would wish to have a look at what both games have to offer.

GUIDE TO USAGE:

build_all_char.py - builds all character models in a dedicated .psarc

build_char.py kratos_char_setup.psarc kratos.c1.p0 output

To find the "model-name" use psarc.py
