So, there are all kinds of wonderful tools available now, but... I kind of have a hankering to figure out how to do this on my own...does anyone have any knowledge of where I can get info on how to extract the .dat files, etc, or at least point me in the right direction?
What you want to extract the dat files is a program called toeeextract.exe http://www.co8.org/files/tools/toeeextract.rar Of course however, once you extract the files, you MAY need some other programs to fiddle around. Hope this is what you are after
