Hello again. I'm just going to leave a quick post here regarding the PS2 game Technictix, a 2001 rhythm game developed and published in Japan by Arika. How can I extract files from PS2.DAT and ARIKA.DAT?

EDIT: Noticed typo in the title and corrected it. It should be "ARIKA.DAT", not "AKIRA.DAT".

I found an old topic about it, no solutions:

Thanks for sharing the topic though.

Anyway, while looking around the nets, I think I may have found a BMS script that purports to extract files from the .DATs. Is it okay if I link it here?

Keep in mind, this .BMS script only works on the Japanese versions of the games this script supports (especially for Technic Beat, which did receive an American release/localization from Mastiff).
