Extracting Assets from Older WWE Games

[tomwearsglasses]

I have a bunch of older WWE games I've purchased over the years for Xbox360 (specifically WWE 13, 2k14, and Legends of Wrestlemania).  I'd like to poke around with some of the assets in those games - to see if there's anything interesting I can learn and if there's anything worth porting over.

I found this post in the 2k15 forums with links to the wrestler pac files for a bunch of them: http://smacktalks.org/forums/topic/60116-wwe-pac-files-from-previous-games/

But I'd like to try to get other stuff (like the caw parts from WWE 13, and the arena files) from those games as well.  Does anyone have any full rips from those games?

If not, is there a way I can extract files from these games myself?  I've tried a few programs I found online that were supposed to read Xbox discs but didn't have any luck with them.

I think you need a JTAG'd 360 in order to rip things from your system.

Thanks - I was hoping that wouldn't be the case but I kinda figured.

I'll continue to hold out hope that someone else happens to have them available somewhere.

Is that so? Wouldn't one just be able to rip things from the disc (provided one has a drive that supports reading HD-DVDs)? I seem to remember ripping stuff from Xbox 360 discs back in the day, but maybe my memories are hazy and it was the PS2 games, though, thus I'm not sure about it.

you may be right, actually. i was thinking  in the sense of the whole process of ripping and injecting back, which you would need a modded system to do that.

 

I guess it's just finding the right app.. From a quick search, the ones I've found seem to only work with most Unreal Engine games.
