2 years ago If you open the file in a HEX editor (like HxD), the first 4 bytes to not say 'RARC' This simply means that the file you are trying to open is not compatible with WiiExplorer. Because it is the sims, I don't imagine that it used Nintendo's In-house development studio tools, but this file is a different type of .arc file. If you show me the first 4 bytes I could see if I know what format it is, but in the end, WiiExplorer will not work with it.
When I try to open audiostr.arc which I extracted from The Urbz Sims in the City discs DATA folder, I get this error below. Any idea how I can extract the files from this .arc?
See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
