Looking for archive extractor

[Kelvin]

I need programs that can open .pak and .ark files. I found a few for arks, but they're expensive. If anyone knows of any free ones, I'd greatly appreciate it. As for paks, many of them only open them for specific games, and I don't know how to tell whether a particular pak is compatible or not.

What games are you trying to rip from?

[Dazz]

Pak, Bin, Arc, Ark, etc are all generic file names for a HUGE number of different archives. Never buy software that says it can extract these files, because it likely can't for the specific file or game you're looking for unless explicitly stated.

What games are you trying to rip from?

My Little Pony on Android and Another Metroid 2 Remake on PC.

Would you be able to attach a couple of these files? Not too big preferably, but just a couple from each game.
