So I started using 3D Via prtscrn and it works perfectly together with dolphin's texture dump which I didn't expect.
The reason why I prefer 3D Via is that it maps the textures correctly so you don't have to remap everything.
Now I have a small problem with the models in 3ds max.

As you can see, I had to make the ambient fully white to even see the model, or else it will be black.
On the other side, is when I render it. It's totally messy and things. I want to know how to fix it.
(Oh, and who can guess from which game this model is, gets a cookie

)

Ah, should be an easy fix. Apply a "Normals" modifier, which will automatically flip the normals of your model to the outside.

That worked, thanks! Now I can start making the rips!

Are all the vertices welded before you unified the normals?

I did that, and it worked a little bit. Some parts were still transparent.
Here are the original files. The files are for Super Shadow, but his problem is the same.

In this case unfortunately half of the model have a corrupted uvmap, so 3dsmax and other 3d app can view the textures correctly.
The black areas are the mesh without a uvmap:

So u need to remaps them.
About the meshes: They are fixable in some ways. One of them could be to esport them in another format and then reimport into max without the normals applyng the smooth group.
EDIT: If u want flip the normals of only some parts of the mesh directly into max, u can select the mesh by elements, then..right click and select Flip Normals Mode. So u can fix them manually.
