Need help to extract resources from Nitroplus Blasterz Heroines Infinite Duel

[Lucas Hood]

Hey guys I am new here. I am looking forward to someone who can assist me to rip the resources of this game. Currently I would love to extract the CG, character sprites, as well as the background images/videos of the game and the soundtrack if possible. So far I have searched through every site but to no avail as I found no tool or any guide to help me decrypt the files. I did come across a thread that posted the game's assets from this forum but most of the links are either unaccessible or stuck with 520 bad gateway error. Much appreciated if there's anyone who can help me with this. I can post a link that contains all of the game files in case anyone needs it.

I hope someone who can help.

I was actually the person that originally ripped those and my mega got deleted with the source code for DMCA.
IIRC someone on MFG did back them up and update nitroripper, so I'd try to find them (maybe on mfgs discord) I'd tell you who it was if MFG wasn't dead.

Thank you so much! May I ask if you have successfully ripped the CG and background images/videos of the game as well? Also character sprites from the Visual Novel-esque cutscenes if you don't mind.

When I searched for sites that potentially posted full CGs of the game, I came across this one:

At first I thought they have successfully ripped the CGs from the game, but apparently it wasn't the case. As one of the CGs of Al Azif Exmortes was cropped, which gives me a feeling that these are not actual CGs, rather they were just game screenshots that the OP manually took them.

So I've tried to access MFG site via web archive. It seems that they didn't upload full CG or normal sprites of the characters, but only gameplay sprites and system files. Hopefully there will be someone who can rip the CGs from it.

 

A tool for resources extraction would be extremely helpful also.

Functionally all nitroripper did was rip stuff from ram when it was on screen, if you only want a couple of images and not like the 1000s of character sprites you could probably use cheat engines visual memory viewer while the image is on screen to find the sprites in ram and just copy them. iirc they were basically just regular bmp files loaded into ram.

Is there any download link for nitroripper and cheat engines visual memory viewerd that you mentioned? I couldn't find them anywhere. Also, should I work on PS3 files or files from PC/Steam version?

Nitroripper is probably lost to time, I'm afraid.
Cheat Engine has a built in tool called Graphical Memory View that lets you see what an address of ram would look like if it was an image of whatever width, in whatever format.
You want the pc/steam version, run it, connect cheat engine to it, open graphical memory view set it to rgba and scroll through ram until you see something that looks like a sprite, then you can should be able copy it out.
It's pretty tedious which is why I wrote nitroripper to do it for me.

Sounds pretty troublesome and tedious like you said. I have joined Mugen Guild discord and asked but to no avail either. So there is no way for us to extract the resources from this game?

I'm currently a little too busy to spend a week re reverse engineering nitro+, maybe I'll get to it at some point and release another ripper but I wouldn't hold your breath.

I can wait for as long as I can, please keep me updated if possible because I really wanted to have the resources from this game

Is there any update so far?

Still waiting-
