    I asked DaGuAr how did he do those, and this was his response:

    1) I extracted "sonic2010_0.cpk" from the Sonic Colors Iso and extracted the content with "cpk_unpack.exe"
    2) The levels are in the folders "stg<number>" , and they are made of lots of .arc files.
    3) I extracted the content of the .arc files with "arcman.exe", and inside of them were a few brres files who could be opened with Brres Viewer 1.3
    4) Using Brres Viewer, there is an option to export 3D models to obj+mtl, with textures.
    5) Using 3D Studio, I opened all the obj files and the full level imported correctly.

    By the way, this is also my last trial post. I might not be able to reply if you have something to tell me about this

    Does anyone know about how to retrieve object placement data from Sonic Colors?

    EDIT: Scratch that....how do I browse a Wii iso period? Google isn't turning up a damn thing.

    If you have dolphin, you can load the ISO and extract the .cpk file.

    There are many as a way to browse a Wii iso. You can you use WiiScrubber, TrunchaSigner, or ultimately, you can use WiiTools to extract every content of a iso file to the disk.

    I assumed those programs could extract files, but the posts that included them didn't ever explicitly say "this program browses wii isos". I didn't want to potentially download a bunch of programs and have them sitting around because I didn't need them.
     
  7. Don't suppose anyone could rip out the Voice acting files from there and upload them? I love the voice acting in this game.

    I don't think that's possible as of now. The only that seems to be in aax format are the hint voices, Eggman's random announcements, and the BGM. Everything else seems to be ADPCM, which is Nintendo's DSP files.

    All the bitches.

    Sonic never even talks ingame, all his cutscene voices are all in the prerendered videos. So, yeah it's easily possible to rip those.

    Actually, I convert it to a MPG and it seems to be Japanese dialog.

    That's because it has both audio tracks for English and Japanese. You need to split off the English audio as well if you want it.

    Is there any kind of converter for those ADPCM files? Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter games has them too, and I've been trying to get into them for an eternity.

    Not to my knowledge. They have a UTF as a header, but someone on HCS my might make it usable with vgm stream.

    But they just don't want to, because this format is hardly used for anything other than small sound effects, and they are only interested in musics.

    MIDI-to-SMPS-conversions, mostly. Takin' requests, too.
    Has anyone tried just raw-importing them with Wavepad or Audacity? They both support ADPCM far as I am aware.

    Trying to Find every bit of model data of (Neo)Metal Sonic D:!
    well

    if its all-right with everyone here I'll pop them all out as Dae/OBJ and put them on The Models Recourse once I figure out how to submit things!

    no need to worry about recolors Sega did that for us!

    I wouldn't. The game, literally, just came out.
