Susie, Grapholic, and all of that stuff

[Hyperguy]

A while back someone posted a link to a Japanese site loaded with plug-ins and such for Grapholic and Susie.  I used it to download a program that allowed me to extract cg from Viper M3 a while back and right now I'm trying to extract and animate cg from an old hentai game called Love Escalator.

Kind of ironic that I'm asking since I'm usually replying to questions like these, but I'm kind of stumped.

So, anyone know where I can get a plug-in for Love Escalator? =O

Wow.  This is a really old thread!  I was searching for your grapholic tutorial and came upon this.  I completely ripped Noriko's and Hinako's CG, but since Rie has so many i haven't gone back to it in years.  If you're interested i could upload it, although i may just go back to ripping after seeing this.

The best i could do was use a screen recorder to get the animation.

Just did some research and the pack file is in elfarc3 format.  Unfortunately there's no way to view the images inside since it's in another obscure format that has no answers on the internet.

You can try your luck at http://dawg.s56.xrea.com/search_plugin.php.  Enter the file name extension in the second or third textbox (they give slightly different results) and you'll get links to pages that "might" provide a download for a Susie plugin or standalone app to extract that particular image type.

Regarding "elfarc" format, you might find a winner at http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA000482/.  Its the best match this site came up with.

I've managed to unpack the elfarc file into ecg files with grapholic.  Now i need to find some sort of converter that processes ecg files into an image format.  From that website you listed JGOO i've found a Susie plugin that reads them but doesn't convert.

I probably could help you decode the image format, but it will have to wait until my computer gets a fixin'
Since there's no viewer outside of the game, I'll need the game, and some sample files of those ECGs

do you know where I can nab a copy of the game?

Uploaded the game here -->

Associate the .EAR file as elfarc3 under Grapholic and you should easily be able to extract the ECGs.
