SH3 Unpacker

Arg! Cannot find my copy of Timetraveller's SH3 Unpacker.

Anyone have a copy? All the current reference links I have been able to find seem to be broken.

That Unpacker only extracts/inserts/views the TGA files in a dat.

There was another Dat extractor that did the 3D models and even the source code was released. I deleted my copy long ago.
Don't recall who did that version and I don't recall what it was written in.
S3D is the defacto tool now days.
Still not perfect but the best you can probably get a hold of today.
The Grey Wolves had some really nice Tools long before S3D.
Most were never released as the original Coder felt they weren't good enuff for some reason.
Those were coded in Delphi and very few copies of the source code can be found.

2 and a 1/2 foot away on my back up external HD.

Sorry. Not gonna happen.
I was given the source but was not given permission to share it.
I have tried over the years to contact the original Coder.
He has ignored my pleas for contact.
Some say I should go ahead and release. I respect him to highly to do that.
I say if one has code that needs looked at? Send it to me and I'll look at it.
I've yet to get taken up on that offer. I may be one of the best still around for that kind of work.

You about DatConvert?
I think, yes.
This tool is not worth of attention today...
Is written in C#.
The source code was published by the author... for those wishing to continue this project... and no restrictions on use.
