Hi y'all

I'm trying to extract assets from a 3DS game. I've gotten as far as dumping the cart, decrypting and extracting the rom, and now I can see the contents of the romfs.

The issue I'm having is extracting data from what I assume to be graphics files. When I open them in a hex editor, I get "NW4C_Tga Ver1" at the top of the file. From my research, this does appear to be a graphics file but for the life of me I can't figure out how to open it. I've read about NW4C but this appears to have disappeared (or at least, I couldn't find it after an hour of searching)

Does anyone know any available tools to open these files? I've tried Ohana3DS and EveryFileExplorer but neither has worked.

For reference, the game is "Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers" and the file I'm looking at is "\ExtractedRomFS\app_bin\DGO_BMP.bin"

Apologies if this is already an answered question but my forum searches came up with basically no results.

    It does a clicking sound and Windows doesn't recognize it
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    clicking = bad, i'd still try it on a linux box or a mac, out of desperation
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Do you recommend any way to back up?
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    I will keep trying, but that clicking sound seems like the moving parts are stuck or something
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i use a mac, so I just leave time machine running, not real sure how to back up on a windows box

    Buy SSD copy everything over and no more clicking lol
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    yeah clicking is bad, i don't do much recovery these days, so i don't know if the old tricks still work
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Pretty much they do but only because mechanical is still mechanical

    @Psionic Roshambo, the only hard drive i have is the one on my pc
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a weird thought, Sega with the Saturn it was a train wreck a pile of chips, but it does kind of fit the design philosophy of Sega at the time.... The Genesis/Sega CD/32X machine was probably loads of fun to program for
