Based on what Mad found about opening Case Zero, I decided to see what I could do with Dead Rising 1, even though I knew it was a long shot.
I downloaded Dead Rising 1, which is a iso split up into over 70 rar files (zip files).
I extracted this .iso using winrar to my desktop. I now had a several GB file.
I opened the newly created iso file with Daemon tools lite (a CD drive emulator), playing the disk on my PC, Windows Media Player opens, and this screen appears:
to play this disc, put it in an xbox 360 console
Opening the dead rising iso folder
When I opened the .iso folder, the disk looks like an extremely small DVD video:

This is Video_TS folder is probably only the windows media player video the PC plays without sound.
The other 4+ GB is everything else is in a different format only an xbox 306 can read.
WxPirs (FAILED)
Wx360 (success)
I found this awesome thread about opening xb360 games:
www.se7ensins.com/forums/topic/20803-xbox-360-complete-download-collection/
I downloaded and installed Wx360, and success! The .iso opened.
The structure, as predicted, is extremely different. Although at this point, I have no idea if i am looking at the game files themselves or something else.
All the files start with "arcrom" and are all .arc files with the .arc extension.
Extracting and attempting to open the files
In Wx360 I extracted the file arcromarea100_0.arc from the .iso:
Opening arcromarea100_0.arc in a hex editor, the first section is surprising clear and readable, this is a file with textures in it, including water textures:
But the majority of the file is gibberish.
What are .arc files?
According to an internet page .arc files are:
I tried gibbed's on arcromarea100_0.arc, and of course gibbed's crashed, but is it possible to create a program which extracts the files?
I searched google for this: arc"xbox 360" "dead rising"
And found this awesome forum thread:

mariokart64n was able to rip the textures from the Wii chop:

According to an internet page .arc files are:
Compressed file archive created either as a Macintosh Hierarchical File System (HFS) archive or an MS-DOS archive using standard MS-DOS compression; contains a collection of compressed files, each being compressed potentially with a different compression technique.

Can't rip from Xbox 360, and the Wii version is bad looking. It's also extremely difficult and not worth it to make it a model and just plop it in as a prop. Might as well remap it.

Thats the closest thing you will get from now on. I haven't played the map, it looks decent.
