I have a bunch of .arc files from this game's filesystem and they look like they contain all of the game's assets.

I'm particularly looking to unpack one called "datasets.arc" as I'm looking for the model files and its textures, possibly even the rigs.

I've tried using standard Yaz0 decompressing and haven't had any results. I'm not very experienced with this sort of thing, so I'm at a loss here.

I can attach a sample if needed, but most of these archives are 300+ megabytes.

DON'T forget your antivirus and other protections.
Try to use just 7-zip to be sure.
it could be it's no asset, but a stream (which you can open with VLC, and make sure you're kids ain't watching for it could be another type of illigal media).
if nothing seems to work still, use a hexeditor to check the header of the file for a hint.

    @BigOnYa well, starting with, idk which emulator should i use for switch, i got a gtx 1650, do you know which one would it better for my pc?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    The switch emulators on pc rely on your CPU mostly, and they only use a single core, so GPU not as important as a good CPU. I don't use switch emulator, but many here do, and willing to help.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 do you want to chime in, don't you use yuzu or ryujinx? Which do you prefer?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Morganna I'd say try them both, and see which work better for your setup, good luck, and have fun!
  • Morganna @ Morganna:
    i tried just yuzu so far, not even played, just open the game to see if it run
