Hi guys,

not a developer but after many futile searches I figured this would be my best chance of finding an answer.

I play a certain game and would like to get some pictures from it. This is purely for better quality pics then ones I can get from my phone. These pictures are already available on games wiki but they vary in quality based on source.

Apk itself is about 30 mb but game takes around 3gb of disk space. 99% of it is located in files\UnityCache\Shared folder. As you probably already know inside it are ton of folders containing data files with no extensions named CAB-*bunch of letters and numbers*.

Am I asuming wrongly that images are in these files? If they are is there a way to extract those picture files? I don't care about anything else just those.

I hope this isn't against any forum rules I may overlooked and hope someone can help me out.
 
Games don't have the "Pictures" (I shall call them Screenshots from now on) in their data files. They only hold images as sprites or textures for 2d / 3d games, which are then rendered using some code or algorithm and put together to form an image every frame (usually, there's many frames per second, giving the illusion of movement)

There's a lot more depth to it and I can't explain it all here, but in short you can't find Screenshots from a game's data.

If you find that your phone's screenshots are not good enough you can try using an Android Emulator on your PC, then take Screenshots yourself by pressing the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard, then open Paint and CTRL+V to paste it (this is for Windows, not sure how exactly other OS work) and then save it.

EDIT: Re-reading your post I'm not 100% sure what's with the UnityCache and how it works, maybe it takes screenshots there but no idea :/ sorry
 
Tnx for replaying.

Its not that type of game. Its card game and every card has a picture of its own, bellow you can see an example. Game apk has 30mb which is not enough to store all the cards pictures and every time you encounter new card download is started to get it to your phone. Haveing the size of that unitychache folder(3gb) in mind I presumed they are stored there.

Ah, ok I see. You are right then, those cards that are downloaded should probably be in the cache then.
