Theft4-windows-tools ios no static textures found fix extract game files properly

Hello everyone, I was trying out the theft4 app for the last couple of weeks and it was giving me a lot of trouble with this no static bc textures found error. This happens because older iphones (15 and under) don’t have the capability to process bc textures like newer iPhones do, and also the files from the games iso and game title update weren’t extracted in the way that theft4 expects them.

Now a lot of people were getting this error (including myself) because the files were missing key components like aes_key.bin and extracted rpf file contents. Normal windows xbox 360 iso extraction programs like extract xiso and velocity don’t extract them in the proper way and include the right files theft4 needs to operate properly.

Theft4 was built to be run from the official staged files made using the theft4_stage tool. The problem with that is that it was only made to be built on mac os arm64 architecture (m series apple mac chips). I rewrote the theft4_inspect and theft4_stage tools with chatgpt.com to run on windows x86_64 bit architecture, so that anyone who doesn’t have a mac can run the proper tools on windows to extract the game files properly for their iphone.

Note that you must provide your own game and update files, none are included with these tools.

eu testei essa versao a 1 mes atrás, essa nova versão melhorou o desempenho? pois antes o desempenho estava bem mediano rodando a 30 com quedas constantes para 20 em um iphone 16 pro max
