−'''''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. 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==
−*<nowiki>#python on freenode for helping me with some stupid mistakes.</nowiki>
−*<nowiki>#wiidev for, again, helping me with stupid mistakes (and not so stupid ones).</nowiki>
−*YAGCD and the WiiBrew wiki for documentation and example code on the various formats.
−*Magicus for parse-u8.c which I used for testing.
−*Everybody else I forgot.
This is a warning to the owners of this site. My name is Shigeru Miyamoto and I am disappoint. You are breaking the DCMA laws. DCMA laws protect our freedoms far into the furture. There is over 9000 pages here and I want every single one of them gone by next week. This is not a threat but a promise. Every day after that week is up, I will sue you for $100,000 a day.
−Thank you for using Nintendo. We must ensure our freedoms through use of the DCMA. This not the analog millennium one passed in 1000 A.D., but the digital one.
−==CEASE==
−AND DESIST
