NScripter
The folder of a game made with NScripter will contain at least three files: an .EXE file to run the game, a script file (
nscript.dat), and an archive file (usually
arc.nsa or
00.ns2).

There may also be other files, such as
envdata (save file information); don't worry about any of that.
arc.nsa files are easy to deal with; just extract them using the instructions for
KiriKiri in ExtractData.
However, ExtractData doesn't recognize
00.ns2 files, and you'll get an error message:

If you click "Yes," ExtractData will scan the archive for file types it recognizes. You'll probably get all the game CGs this way, but ExtractData won't preserve the original file names and folder structure. Instead, you'll get a list of files named
00.ns2_[file#] Attachment 163291.
If you're not afraid of using command prompt, download
ONScripter Tools (under
Current Release (2010-09-15)). Extract the ZIP file, then copy the file
ns2dec.exe into your game folder.

Open a
command prompt window. (In Windows XP, go to
Start->Run, type
cmd, and click
OK.)
Next, copy the path to the folder where the game files and ns2dec.exe are located. In the command prompt window, type:
cd "C:\folder path"
So for this example, I'd put:
cd "C:\VisualNovels\0Japanese\LSDver1.02"
(This lets the command line know where the files are located. The quotation marks are just in case you have spaces in the file path, which confuses the command line.)
(Also, you can't CTRL+V to paste in command line, but you can right click->paste, so you don't have to retype everything by hand!)
Next, type into the command line:
ns2dec.exe 00.ns2
and press Enter. It should look something like this:

(Note: if you changed your computer language to Japanese like I told you to, backslashes will show up as ¥s in command prompt. I don't know why. It doesn't affect anything.)
The CGs and other resources are now extracted neatly into your game folder, like so:

I realize this was a bit of a jump in difficulty, so if something was confusing, tell me now before I go on to more complicated command line stuff!
