Hi there! I'm working with several others in order to discover a trick in Paper Mario: TTYD that would save upwards of 2 hours. In order to help us with further testing, we need to look at the hitbox properties of certain rooms. Within the ISO itself are folders. In some folders are files that do not have any file extension. Opening them in a hex editor shows that there are files within that file. For example, this file: http://puu.sh/iNwL6/81483ee7d6 Within hex editor: /a_mario/tex/L_hand.2.tga How would I be able to access this L_hand.2.tga file for example?

Hmmmm.. TGA is a texture file, there should be a texture extractor somewhere on internet

My point is that I can't access that file.

It appears to be using a custom file format across the board for compression purposes. EDIT: As for hitboxes and such, you would probably be better looking at the emulator itself instead of files within the ISO. Perhaps some form of lua script could help you guys along your search.

If the game uses something similar to goop maps in Super Mario Sunshine, then you'll definitely want to get your hands on the original maps. There is a way to extract files from archives, but only if they are not compressed. Search the files you found for 0x10 0x01 0x04 0x01. If you find it, you've probably come across a TGA file. You can carve them out manually but the problem is determining the file size.
