+'''''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.
−==CEASE==
+I have confirmed Yaz0 and U8 support to be 100% working. RARC works, but I have not verified its output against another tool to be absolutely sure.
−===Requirements===
+Python 2.5 or higher (not Python 3.x however). Download Python for your OS [http://python.org/download/ here.]
+Tested with Python 2.5 and 2.6 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. It should work with Windows(tested) and Linux with a suitable version of Python installed.
+==Usage==
+<pre><nowiki>python ARCTool.py [-qlh] [-o <output>] <inputfile> [inputfile2] ... [inputfileN]</nowiki></pre>
+===Options===
+<pre>--version show program's version number and exit
+-h, --help show this help message and exit
+-o FILE/DIR, --output=FILE/DIR
+ write output to FILE/DIR. If you are extracting
+ multiple archives, all of them will be put in this
+ dir.
+-q, --quiet don't print anything (except errors)
+-l, --list print a list of files contained in the specified
+ archive (ignores -q)</pre>
+==Known Bugs==
+None yet :D
+If you find one, message me on IRC (nick is tpw_rules) or leave a note on the [[Talk:ARCTool|talk page]].
+==Changelog==
+====0.3b====
+*Fixed a bug with RARC extraction where it would improperly detect . and .. entries and either skip directories or recurse infinitely. (Again, my test archives decieved me!)
+*Added the -l option which lists the contents of the archive without extracting them.
+*Can now be imported as a module.
+====0.2b====
+*Fixed a bug in the U8 extractor where it would not change directories properly. I know I said it was 100% working, but the bug was not triggered by the archives I was using to test.
+*Now supports extracting multiple archives at once. Just specify them one after another on the command line.
+====0.1b====
+*Initial release
+==Thanks To==

+*YAGCD and the WiiBrew wiki for documentation and example code on the various formats.
