BRRES is a common archival format for Wii that can contain anything from models (BRMDL / MDL0), textures (BRTEX / TEX0), or animations (BRCHA / CHR0, BRSHP / SHP0, SRT0, et cetera).

Ripping Tools

There are a number of tools available for the BRRES format that are capable of viewing and exporting files into more standard common file formats.

BrawlBox

BRRESViewer

Compressions

  • None: The files have no compression and can work right away.
  • Container: No compression is used on these files, but you'll need to use a hex editor to locate the "bres" headers, trim everything before that.
  • AFS: An archival format mainly but not always used for sounds, programs like AFS Explorer can unpack these.
  • ARC: Nintendo's common file packaging. Often uncompressed, these "U8" packages can be unpacked using a programs like ARCTool.
  • CPK: CRI's compression format. Use Noesis to unpack these archives.
  • FPK: An archival format used primarily for games developed by Eighting. Use FPKTool to unpack these files.
  • LZSS: A standard form of compression, there is a QuickBMS script available that can decompress them.
  • SZS: A secondary, often-compressed format used for Nintendo's games. Use either SZS Modifier or BrawlBox to open these files.
  • ZIP: The most basic compression. Only one known game uses ZIP, and there are dozens of programs available that can be used to unpack the files within.
  • Unique: Has an unusual form of compression. If there isn't a script available, a memory dump using Dolphin is usually the only other way to extract them.
