ARCTool is a Python script for extracting Yaz0, RARC, and U8 archives. These are used in many Nintendo games, and sometimes have the extension arc, hence the name.

Info

The inspiration for this tool came about when I wrote a RARC extractor and realized that all the files I wanted to extract were U8, but they still had the arc extension.

I have confirmed Yaz0 and U8 support to be 100% working.

Requirements

Python 2.5 or higher (not Python 3.x however).

Tested with Python 2.5 and 2.6 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. It should work with Windows and Linux with a suitable version of Python installed.

Usage

python ARCTool.py [-q] [-o <output>] <inputfile>

Options

--version: show program's version number and exit<br>
-h, --help: show this help message and exit<br>
-o OF, --output=OF: write archive to FILE<br>
-q, --quiet: don't print anything (except errors)

Known Bugs

None yet :D
