The GZIPs were false detection, there's no GZIP-compressed data in the .dat files. The compression algorithm of PNG pictures and GZIP archives is similar ("deflate", a derivative of LZ77) but that doesn't make PNG pictures special cases of GZIP.
Unless I did something wrong on my end, I'll try again to be sure! What I did was dragging the DAT to your tool where it extracts the DAT. a black screen appeared and it did extract but why I am only getting MESHs of the background and not the characters doesn't make sense to me? That's why I am going to try again and if I am not getting character models from this I might ask you to try sending them to me instead? I think that should do! Let me know if you can send me the character models you got from your extracting if your tool didn't work for me. Just send yours over to me and I'll take a look what you got! 👍
