Unofficial documentation of PS1 Argonaut games' file formats & game assets extraction scripts

If you want to learn more about PS1 Argonaut games' file formats, check this piece of documentation (WIP).

PS1 Argonaut games mostly use custom file formats for animations, 3D models, textures, maps and audio.

This toolkit can extract some of these file formats, in some games only.

• Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge ❌
• Alien Resurrection ❌
• Croc 1 ❌
• Croc 2 PS1 ✅
• Croc 2 Demo PS1 (including DUMMY WADs) ✅
• Harry Potter 1 PS1 ✅
• Harry Potter 2 PS1 ✅
• The Emperor's New Groove ❌

All supported game assets should already be uploaded here:

If you cannot find the assets you're looking for, they are probably not yet extractable by this toolkit.

If you still want to use the extraction scripts, please follow these steps:

1. 
2. (Optional) Create a virtual environment (venv) and activate it.
3. Install the required Python packages: pip install -r requirements.txt.
4. Run one of the 2 scripts :

• python extract_files_from_dat.py: Extracts files (.WAD for example) from raw game files (.DIR/.DAT).
• python export_assets.py: Extracts assets (textures, music, levels, etc.) from raw game files or .WAD files.

Add --help at the end of the command if needed.
